I help remove barriers around discussions of cultural, psychological, technological, and scientific futurism! I want us to learn and grow together by reinforcing our understanding of how to interact with one another and think about our future!
I ask the biggest questions and accept nothing less than the best answers from people like you and me!
I only hope my videos encourage you to become a pillar of change i.e., an apex. An apex recognizes the god-like potential humans can ascend to throughout the universe. Follow me on my journey of curiosity and wonder! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alwinthesheriff/support

ATS Podcast (Ep. 34) How Will AI Artists Impact The Music Industry?
This discussion has been a long time coming! With the unveiling of hiphop's very first AI artist FN Meka and it's short lived signing to Capitol Records, I thought I'd sit down and investigate the matter with Maryland music artist Jhalen Smith and this episode's cohost Geoffrey Durante!
The intersection between hip-hop and technology here is an interesting one. In this episode we will discuss why FN Meka was dropped, the pros and cons of this technology, what major implications it will have on the music industry as a whole, and whether artists will take a stand with or against!

ATS Podcast (Ep. 33) Should We Tokenize Trees?!
What a strange question! But has been a trending discussion in the media nonetheless. First we'll break it down, note the pros and cons, and then help you decide! My guest previously worked as a software engineer at Google and now is currently working as a software engineer at Twitter. Samir Lavingia has been featured in a variety of mainstream science and tech articles addressing the subject given his first encounter of the matter at a community meeting! It's great to have him on the episode today to shed light on it and give his thoughts as to whether or not tree tokenization could benefit the environment. We discuss carbon offsets, tree tokenization in China, and much more!
