Attention, attention! 😯

Here’s a new episode of the Redefining Society & Technology podcast!

"How to Hack Global Activism with Tech, Music, and Purpose

With Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen | Author of the #book: From Ideas to Impact."

Welcome back to my Musing on Society and Technology newsletter — where I drop new podcast episodes and explore what it means to be human in a hybrid analog-digital society.

This isn’t the place for hype or headline-chasing. It’s about asking better questions and figuring out how technology can serve humanity — not the other way around.

That said, I owe a quick apology to my guest Michael Sheldrick — we recorded this episode a while ago, but life, work, and about 437 browser tabs got in the way. Thank you for your patience, Michael. I hope this helps shine an even brighter spotlight on the incredible work you and the Global Citizen team are doing.

And yes — I’m honored to do the little I can to help promote it. Because this matters.

Global Citizen is proof that you can mix pop culture, #tech, and purpose to drive real change. $40 billion unlocked. A billion lives impacted. All through a movement powered by #music, #activism, and one simple idea:

"Anyone can make a difference — you just have to start."

Michael and I talk about:

The power of #socialmedia and gamified activism

Getting John Legend and Coldplay on board

Using tech tools like #Salesforce, #AI, and translation platforms

Why young people aren’t waiting — and politicians better pay attention

And yes, there’s a bonus chapter coming soon from his book — The #Innovator. You already know I invited him back for that.

💥 This episode is powered by our friends at BLACKCLOAK — protecting corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals from cyber threats. Thank you for supporting my storytelling mission.

#HappyWeekend — and happy thinking, too. 🤔 🤖

📚🎙️ The Hybrid Species — When Technology Becomes Human, and Humans Become Technology

A fresh transmission from my Musing On Society and Technology newsletter:

We used to build machines to serve us.

Now we build them to complete us.

So… what happens when the line between us and them disappears?

This is the follow-up to my Robbie piece — where #Asimov made us wonder if trust could be earned by a robot that didn’t even speak.

Well, now the machines do speak. They pretend to understand us. And we pretend they do, too.

But here’s the twist: maybe we’re not just surrounded by machines — maybe we’re slowly becoming one. Or better yet: when carbon and silicon don’t just coexist, but converge… maybe something new is emerging.

A hybrid species.

Not science fiction — just evolution, with a bit of attitude.

No panic. No utopia either. Just me thinking out loud, wondering what’s coming — and whether we’re wise enough to carry the best of ourselves into whatever comes next.

No time to read? Let my AI companion TAPE3 read it to you — it’s got a voice and just enough sass to make it weirdly charming.

If you find these musings worth your time, share them with someone who likes to think sideways. And follow both my newsletter and podcast — there’s a lot more where this came from. 🤘😬✨

Cheers,

Marco

“Robbie, From Fiction to Familiar — Robots, AI, and the Illusion of Consciousness”

I recently revisited Robbie, the first of Asimov’s iconic robot stories.

I first read it as a teenager in the ’80s, when robots lived in factories and AI belonged in science fiction. Back then, Robbie felt distant. The idea of forming an emotional bond with a machine? Pure imagination.

Today, that story feels… familiar.

We now live in a world where machines talk back. Generative AI writes, simulates empathy, pretends to understand us — and often, we play along. Meanwhile, Robbie never spoke, never faked understanding, yet somehow earned more trust than the machines we surround ourselves with today.

In my latest Musing on Society and Technology, I reflect on how different it feels to experience Asimov’s vision in the age of hashtag#GenAI, illusion, and the subtle performance of understanding.

The lines between fiction and reality? Between trust and simulation? They’re blurring fast — and maybe we’re not wise enough to notice it happening.

Go ahead, read this article — or simply listen to it, there’s a podcast version linked in the newsletter.

Drawing inspiration from the inaugural episode of "Once Upon A Time, Tomorrow" on the Redefining Society Podcast on ITSPmagazine Podcast Network — embedded within this article — I delve into humanity's evolving bond with technology.

Many thanks to my fellow thinkers: Sean Martin, Carey D'Souza, and Rafael Brown. You are all partially responsible for these weird thoughts that swirl in my head! 🤣

From the Industrial Revolution to the digital age, each advancement has introduced unforeseen challenges and undeniable allure.

As the AI era dawns, especially within realms like entertainment, resistance re-emerges, echoing past technological transitions. However, faced with the relentless march of progress, perhaps our focus should shift from resistance to informed adaptation, ensuring that wisdom, not just innovation, leads the way.

"A Dystopian Utopia: The Paradox of Progress - An Exploration of #Technology, Climate Change, and Society's Collective Responsibility."

[Abstract]
In a profound dialogue, Marco Ciappelli (Host of Redefining #Society #Podcast on ITSPmagazine Podcast Network and TAPE3, an artificial intelligence, traverse the intricate terrain of technology's role in climate change. They scrutinize technology's dual nature; while it has fueled climate change, it also offers solutions for mitigation and adaptation. They ponder the societal constructs that either aid or hinder climate action, emphasizing the urgency required in response to climate threats. They delve into climate justice, acknowledging the disproportionate effects of climate change on marginalized communities. Marco and TAPE3 stress the importance of collective action, with technology playing a significant role in empowering individuals and democratizing access to climate resilience tools. This discourse highlights that the journey toward a sustainable and equitable future is arduous yet necessary, and technology, despite its paradoxical role, is a crucial ally in this endeavor.

"To the Stars, the Algorithms, and Beyond: A Human Journey of Self-Discovery through Technology"

Abstract:
The evolution from space to digital exploration underlines a profound journey of self-discovery. This transition has transformed technology from an engine of innovation to a crucible for introspection into our minds, societies, and humanity. As AI and virtual reality advance, we're compelled to reflect on our existence, societal structures, and ethical implications. We're not just carving paths in technology, but uncovering the depths of the human condition. As we journey into this digital frontier, we bear the tools of humanity, ethics, and self-reflection. Our pursuit is not just about understanding technology, but understanding ourselves through it.

Dive in and join Marco Ciappelli and TAPE3 #AI in their unique reflection on #technology and the Human Condition.
