A future-facing podcast that explores how augmented reality will show up in our everyday lives, off-screen and all around us. Each episode features everyday people (not tech insiders) grappling with how this new layer of reality could reshape the way we shop, move, learn, or just get through the day. These conversations take abstract ideas and ground them in the practical, turning sci-fi into Saturday morning.
Avraham Raskin hosts The Eighth, a technology show with 70 episodes published.
I realised recently that the time I was spending sharing my ideas was actually strangling the sharing of ideas themselves. In this BrainStream, I'm opening up about why I'm working to automate my entire production pipeli
We’re finally breaking free from the 1980s desktop paradigm and moving into a world where creation isn’t tied to a workstation. I’m diving into how I finally cracked the code on local automation for the BrainStream, brin
The velocity of innovation right now is insane—we’re seeing a year’s worth of progress every week—and the only way to keep up is to automate the friction out of our systems. I’ve finally dialed in a pipeline that handles
In this year-end Brainstream, Avraham revisits a 2018–2019 video exploring how augmented reality and AI could transform everyday problem solving. Using the example of fixing a broken fridge, he unpacks multimodal AI—visi
A quiet rumour about OpenAI tapping into Apple Health sparks a deeper question: what would a truly private, on-device health intelligence actually look like? Listen on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts More episodes → htt
In this BrainStream, I explore why we’re on the edge of a generational shift in how properties are secured. Not just sensors. Not just cameras. A true, always-awake operator built from VLMs, re-identification, and on-pre
A concise, investigative tour of how security video evolved from passive cctv to intelligent, searchable footage powered by local ai and video-language models. I maps the technical lineage-motion sensing, smart detection
Most security systems still behave like they did 20 years ago-reactive, limited, and blind to the context hidden inside their own recordings. In this Brainstream, we explore why the real frontier in security isn’t better
What if you could circle the entire Old City of Jerusalem - comfortably, accessibly, and beautifully? In this episode of Brainstreams, we explore a future-facing vision for a dedicated light rail line that loops around t
What if kosher products simply revealed themselves—- guessing, no flipping, no frantic Googling? In this Brainstream, we explore a futuristic vision that’s already partially built: an augmented-reality-based kosher shopp
Apple’s WWDC recap wasn’t just about shiny new models or flashy demos — it revealed a vision of computing where intelligence lives closer to you than ever before. In this Brainstream, I explore how the shift to lightweig
What happens when websites evolve into worlds? In this brainstream, we explore Apple's VisionOS updates and what they mean for the future of digital interfaces. From spatial browsing to the beginnings of a 3D retail inte
The OS of the future won’t rely on mouse clicks and app folders — it will listen, respond, and build with you. In this Brainstream, I explore the next interface evolution: intelligent agents layered over your data, short
Apple’s WWDC just dropped a lot of new features—but did they miss the forest for the trees? In this episode, we dive into what was announced, what’s still missing, and where Apple’s headed when it comes to automation, pe
Apple’s WWDC didn’t just show off a new iOS—it hinted at an entirely new direction for how we’ll interact with our devices. From foundation models and voice transcription to a potential LayerOS-style rethink of app flow,
Apple’s WWDC left subtle clues pointing to a major shift: the interface is no longer just flat and functional — it’s becoming physical, emotive, and alive. From liquid glass UI metaphors to camera-based visual intelligen
We’re two days post-WWDC, and my brain’s still buzzing. This isn’t a keynote recap — it’s a deep dive into why Apple’s “liquid glass” aesthetic signals something bigger. Think beyond the frosted UI — think spatial interf
We’re reaching the limits of app-based creation—and there’s a new vision in town: Layer OS. What if your tools weren’t chosen before you started working, but emerged during the process, adapting as you moved? TL;DR Today
There’s something deeply wrong with how we “work” on computers. Why do we still sit in desks designed for typewriters? TL;DR - Today’s UI is still based on 1980s office metaphors - “Work” no longer happens at desks — ide
What if your computer understood your workflow—before you even told it what to do? We’re moving into a world where AI doesn’t just automate tasks—it thinks like you do. Instead of manually processing workflows, imagine a
