  How to predict the future

  May 28, 202627 minS0

  <p>Daniel Burrus has spent decades talking about the future, but the most useful thing he said on Keep Going had nothing to do with AI or technology.

  May 25, 202629 minS0

  <p>Stephen Gillen told me something during this week’s Keep Going that stuck in my head long after we finished recording. “No one’s going to come save you,” he said. “And neither should they.”</p><p>It sounds harsh at first. But the more he talked, the more it made sense.</p><p>Gillen’s life did not begin in anything close to stability.

  The Innovators: This bracelet helps you remember everything

  May 20, 202613 minS0

  <p>AI systems are getting better at answering questions, but they still forget almost everything that happens outside the screen. Elisa Lu thinks that’s the missing piece.</p><p>Lu is the co-founder and COO of Memoket, a startup building what she describes as a “context layer” between the physical world and AI. The company’s product combines a wearable recording device with software that tracks conversations and projects across time. Instead of generating isolated meeting summaries, Memoket tries to reconstruct relationships, decisions, and discussions as they evolve.</p><p>“The core idea is not just summarizing one meeting after anot...
