  Dave Duarte: The AI Habit That Makes You Think Better

  Sep 28, 202649 min

  Is AI making us smarter or lazier? Chris Rawlinson sits down with his old friend Dave Duarte, who spends his days teaching companies how to actually use AI, to compare notes on what's changed in the last couple of months (roughly two decades in AI years). In this episode: - The daily AI habit that makes Chris more curious - Why talking an idea through beats typing it - Why students' homework marks are rising while their exam marks crash - The hackathon rules that get teams making things instead of talking about them - The Rolls-Royce idea every agency billing by the hour should hear Find Dave: https://www.daveduarte.net/ Get 3 months of Wispr Flow Pro free: https://wisprflow.ai/rory Get Weekday Wisdom every Tuesday: https://eepurl.com/dfXIM9 AI for Marketers course: https://www.42courses.com/courses/ai-essentials All 42courses: https://www.42courses.com

  Nudgestock 2026 Preview with Dan Bennett

  Aug 30, 202633 min

  Trust is the thing every organisation says it wants and almost nobody can describe. Dan Bennett runs Ogilvy's behavioural science practice globally and curates Nudgestock, the world's biggest behavioural science festival. This year's theme is Trust Issues, so Chris got him on to take it apart: why trust breaks at an identifiable moment rather than quietly drifting away, what aviation worked out about trusting strangers that the rest of us haven't, why conspiracy theories are a trust story, and whether AI has cleverly rebranded lying as "hallucination". Nudgestock 2026 is on Thursday 17 September at The Fireworks Factory in Woolwich, London. Tickets and the free livestream are at nudgestock.com. Ten of the best talks from past festivals are free at 42courses.com/courses/nudgestock

  Dave Duarte: The Half-Life of Knowledge in the AI Age

  May 11, 202639 min

  AI is moving faster than anyone can keep up with, and most people are quietly knackered just trying. In this episode we sit down with old friend and fellow educator Dave Duarte to ask the awkward question: what's actually worth learning when every shiny new tool has the shelf life of a banana? Expect philosophy, paperclip machines, surprisingly creepy smart homes, and a genuinely useful framework for staying authentically human while everything else gets automated.
