Quantum & Coffee: SXSW 2025 Impressions, With Kwaku Aning
Update: 2025-03-27
Description
Educator, innovator, super-connector, and conference champion Kwaku Aning and I have coffee and discuss a few things that struck us at SXSW, including:
- Why we’re in a “pre-mainframe” moment in quantum computing — and why you should prepare for what comes next
- Bioengineering: are we headed for a Westworld-style mix of human musculature and AI?
- Robot choreography, e.g. how to train a self-driving car to drive non-aggressively (but also should they be allowed to speed?)
- Mind control via inaudible noises and Severance-style brain implants
- Whether or not I had enough breakfast tacos in Austin…
