AI HELPS HUMANS TO BE MORE HUMAN
Semantic similarity: Codes to Claims, Contracts, Regulatroy, Compliance. 5 Year AI prediction: “No lawyer will work without an AI system.”
LET THE ROBOTS PROCESS
AND THE HUMANS THINK
The disclaimer that comes with AI:
WILL YOU PAY WITH MONEY OR WILL YOU PAY WITH DATA?
DATA IS THE NEW CURRENCY:
- Data you possess
- Customer records
- Transactional systems
- Predictive models
- Institutional expertise
- Operational systems
- Data outside your firewall
- News
- Events
- Social Media
- Weather
- Geospatial information
- Data that’s coming
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Sensory Data
- Images
- Video
IF THE PRODUCT IS FREE, YOUR DATA = THE PRODUCT
How to differentiate?
DO ONE THING & DO IT
BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.

- Insurance
- Parking
- Auto loans
- Retail
- Delivery/Shipping
- Medical
- Repairs & Services

Microdosing: Psychedelics for Leadership Development and Workflow Optimization
Paul Austin (Founder of the Third Wave)
In his talk, Paul details how micro-dosing is more accessible than high-level doses on a day to day basis, and how technologists and entrepreneurs can leverage its potential to work more efficient, not longer, hours. Outlining the potential benefits of micro-dosing from the standpoints of productivity, mental wellness/clarity, and personal development, and how enhancements in these spheres naturally foster growth towards social entrepreneurship, community building, and the strengthening of relationships founded on trust rather than contracts. He also details practicalities and protocols of micro-dosing while debunking myths of a decades-long taboo around psychedelic substances.
Our mission is to support educated and informed discourse on the topic of psychedelics, including psychedelic community, microdosing, psychedelic identity, and various other topics relevant to our mission. The Third Wave does not encourage illegal activities. Any information we provide is for education and information only. This site is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
So if you want to try microdosing here is a brief «best practice» prescription to follow:
- When you do it for the first time, don’t go to work
- Start low
- Mention timing
- Source the real thing
More importantly: Determine your purpose or objective in wanting to microdose.

Machine Learning Insights for Human Learning
Jonathan Rochelle, Co-Founder Google Drive
The improvements in machine learning in the past two decades have skyrocketed and changed our expectations of what can be accomplished in the world. We’ve begun to successfully teach machines to learn - to solve dynamic problems in transportation, communication, commerce, medicine and more. But while we’ve advanced these machine learning methods exponentially, we have hardly changed the way us humans teach and learn. Education methods have changed at a snails pace, or hardly at all, for many decades. Lessons learned from machine learning can advance human learning so that we - and our children - can actually make use of the power of intelligent computing to improve our lives.
Switched at birth?
We are teaching machines to be more like humans …
