I am a multi-award winning innovator, featured in WSJ, Forbes,... who is at the forefront of AI, Web3, IoT,... I combine my super technical skills [e.g. Rust programming, AI: github.com/mcp-ectors], with business acumen [e.g. setup IoT Business for Ubuntu, was chief innovation officer for Legal&General], with story-telling and strategy. I am bootstrapping an agentic AI startup but in the mean time I am looking for temporary/contract/fractional AI jobs, either as executive or technical architect.

Welcome to this special edition of the AI Dinner Club podcast. Tonight, we're diving deep into the future of generative agents and the incredible conversations that took place during our latest dinner. The atmosphere was electric as founders and researchers shared insights on scaling laws and emergent behaviors.
One of the key takeaways was the shift from simple completion models to autonomous agentic workflows. We discussed how memory and tool-use are becoming the primary bottlenecks for truly useful AI integrations. Our keynote speakers highlighted several projects that are already pushing the boundaries of what's possible in multimodal systems.
As we sat around the table, the intersection of soul and silicon became palpable. It wasn't just about the benchmarks; it was about the ethical implications of the tech we're building and how we can ensure these systems remain aligned with human values while driving massive productivity gains.
