The Persistent Entrepreneur

Dr. Shai Tubali is a philosopher, researcher, and public intellectual whose work stands at the intersection of consciousness studies, philosophy of AI, and the question of what it means to be fully human. He holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Leeds, where his subsequent postdoctoral fellowship, centered on Jiddu Krishnamurti's alarming question about AI and the human being, became the seed of the Essence of Humanity project. He is currently a doctoral researcher at the UCL Institute of Education, where his project, supported by UNESCO, develops the Atlas of Human Capacities in the Age of AI, the first rigorously researched, cross-cultural framework of the human capacities most at risk of erosion in an AI-saturated world.  He is the author of more than twenty books translated into thirteen languages and the creator of the Big Think series How Not to Become Like AI. Through the Alaya Foundation, co-founded with entrepreneur Jose Neves, he leads the Essence of Humanity initiative, a research project, educational programme, and global knowledge hub dedicated to cultivating the depths of human consciousness that no machine can reach. AI is getting smarter - but what if the real risk is that humans get flatter, faster, and less human? Philosopher and consciousness researcher Shai Tubali reveals why the biggest question in the age of AI is not what machines can do, but what we must protect in ourselves before we start thinking, creating, and living like them.Host David Hill and Shai push past the usual AI hype to tackle the deeper issue: the difference between intelligence and consciousness. They unpack why AI can already outperform us at "intelligent doing," why that matters for education, work, creativity, and even identity, and why the pressure to optimize everything may be eroding the very capacities that make life meaningful.You'll discover: Why "the smarter will get smarter and the lazy will get lazier" is more than a warning The meaning of never-skilling and how it could shape the next generation How AI is exposing the difference between achievement and mere output Why Shai says the real danger is becoming embodied algorithms What the meaningfulness gap is and why it matters more than ever Why AI can mimic language without necessarily having an inner life, intention, or care David also tests Shai's ideas in real time by putting an AI agent on the mic, leading to a fascinating back-and-forth about first-person language, experience, and whether consciousness can ever emerge from sheer information alone. From there, the conversation widens into a bigger question for every founder, creator, parent, and student: if AI can do more of our work, what parts of being human must remain non-negotiable?Shai shares the thinking behind his Atlas of Human Capacities in the Age of AI, a colorful framework built from conversations with experts across disciplines to help people preserve and deepen their humanity. At the center of it all is wisdom - not as another productivity hack, but as the compass that helps us decide what is worth protecting in the first place.If you're trying to understand AI without losing yourself in the process, this episode is essential listening. Perfect for anyone who wants to use AI without becoming more machine-like in the process. https://www.youtube.com/@ShaiTubali  https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaitubali/  Get 14 Day Go-High-Level Trial  https://www.gohighlevel.com/?fp_ref=david-i-hill-training25  SOCIALS: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/davidihill/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidihill TicTok: www.tiktok.com/@davidihill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidihill X: https://twitter.com/davidihill   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidHillcoach   PODCAST SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-persistent-entrepreneur/id1081069895   Connect with David www.davidihill.com     #DavidIHill #PathToSalesMastery #ThePersistentEntrepreneur #PersistentEntrepreneurPodcast #SalesTraining #lessonsfromthemat #SalesLeadership #aiwithhumans

AI is getting smarter, but most people are still forced to use it like a puzzle. Tim Lidman reveals why that's backwards and how Clyde is built to let humans and AI actually collaborate on real problems, without needing to become a prompt engineering expert. David Hill talks with Tim Lidman, founder of Clyde, about a more practical way to use AI in real work. The big idea is simple: instead of forcing people to master prompt hacks and model settings, Clyde is built to help humans and AI work together inside a shared collaboration workflow. Tim explains why he believes today's LLMs are powerful but still limited by pattern recognition, and why that matters for consulting, sales, proposal writing, and problem-solving. He also walks through how Clyde structures a session with problem clarification, AI advisors, human contributors, and fact checking to improve both speed and trust. Key topics Tim breaks down Clyde as an AI native collaboration platform designed for humans and AI to work on real problems together. He argues against the idea that AI will simply replace all software because most users still need to learn prompt engineering, context engineering, loop engineering, and related methods. Tim explains his background in collaboration software, including work on ThinkTank, which was acquired by Accenture in 2021. He distinguishes between what humans do best and what AI does best, saying humans are stronger at ideation, new information, judgment, and change implementation. He describes how Clyde starts by helping users clarify the real problem before generating solutions, instead of guessing intent the way many LLMs do. He shares how Clyde brings in AI advisors with different domain expertise, such as finance, sales, operations, and talent, depending on the task. He explains Clyde's AI advisor studio, which lets users build custom advisors using their own knowledge, past projects, and thought leadership. He gives a detailed example of proposal and RFP response workflows, where Clyde can pressure test a deal, surface win themes, and improve trust with fact checking and source breadcrumbs. David shares how he uses AI in sales for prospect research, industry research, and creating personalized presentations and templates. Tim compares Clyde to Perplexity by saying Perplexity is more like a researcher, while Clyde is more like a consultant.  Get 14 Day Go-High-Level Trial https://www.gohighlevel.com/?fp_ref=david-i-hill-training25 SOCIALS: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidihill/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidihill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidHillcoach TicTok: www.tiktok.com/@davidihill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidihill X: https://twitter.com/davidihill #DavidIHill #PathToSalesMastery #ThePersistentEntrepreneur #PersistentEntrepreneurPodcast #SalesTraining #lessonsfromthemat #salesleadership #ai #aiwithhumans Get 2 Weeks FREE Go-High-Level: https://www.gohighlevel.com/?fp_ref=david-i-hill-training25
