Tomorrow's Huberman Lab episode is with Dr. Fei-Fei Li, PhD (@drfeifei), a professor of computer science at @Stanford and co-founder of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (@StanfordHAI).
Dr. Li and @hubermanlab discuss what makes AI fundamentally different from human cognition, why your intuition and lived experience are not replicable by machines, how to use AI to increase intelligence and creativity rather than simply retrieve information, and the safe and effective use of AI to extend human capabilities. They also cover human collaboration with AI and robots, how that collaboration stands to transform health and one's experience of life, and practical tools for both AI enthusiasts and skeptics.
Tomorrow's Huberman Lab episode is with Dr. @MaxKrummel, a professor of pathology at the University of California, San Francisco (@ucsf), and a pioneer of cancer immunotherapy.
Dr. Krummel and @hubermanlab discuss how the immune system communicates with tissues throughout the body, how sleep, thoughts, emotions, and memories shape immune function, the immune system's role in how we age, and its dynamic adaptability across the lifespan. They also cover childhood immune development, autoimmune disease, age-related immune decline, and vaccines.
.@mickymalka is the founder of @RibbitCapital — the firm behind Revolut, Robinhood, Nubank, Coinbase, and more.
He bought his first share of Berkshire Hathaway when he was 13, in Venezuela, with money he borrowed from his grandfather.
His grandfather charged him interest.
He started his first company at 17. In his mid-20s, he put every dollar he had into launching a bank in Brazil for the 50 million Brazilians nobody else would serve.
Micky is a quiet killer. Respected by the elite of the elite.
When I asked @patrick_oshag how he’d describe Micky to someone who didn’t know him, he said: “He’s a mfing moneymaker.”
Micky hates labels. The only label he wants is on his tombstone: “He was a rebel.”

Tomorrow's Huberman Lab episode is with Dr. Alan Castel, a @UCLA psychology professor and memory researcher known for his book "Better with Age: The Psychology of Successful Aging."
Dr. Castel and @hubermanlab discuss why confident eyewitness memories can still be wrong, the surprising midlife dip in happiness and why life often gets better after 50, how the act of taking a photo can strengthen a memory, and why strategic forgetting is a feature of a healthy brain, not a flaw. They also cover the rise of AI voice-cloning scams targeting older adults, the psychology of resilience behind so-called superagers, and how a regular walking habit can grow the hippocampus.

I've been a fan of @SteveStoute for over 20 years. He’s a legend in the music business and a marketing genius. In this conversation we talk about his wild life in music: signing Nas, working with Jay Z, being mentored by Jimmy Iovine, watching Steve Jobs go nuclear in a meeting, offering an 18-year-old LeBron James $10 million for his first sponsorship, what is was like being friends with Kobe Bryant and much more. Steve is one of the sharpest people I've ever talked to. He sees around corners, and has for decades. He’s also hilarious and a great storyteller. This was a blast.

How did @Pixar evolve from a small hardware startup to a cultural juggernaut?
As Toy Story 5 soars into theaters, listen to Pixar co-founder Ed Catmull’s inspiring conversation with @davidsenra.
https://t.co/JnFubfRviJ
A conversation with Ed Catmull, founder of Pixar. I've been making podcasts about Ed for over 8 years. He invited me to his home and told incredible stories from his 60 year career. Ed worked with Steve Jobs longer than anyone else — for more than a quarter century. We talked about what he learned from Steve, the founding of Pixar, building a company at the intersection of art and technology, why getting the team right is the necessary precursor to getting the idea right, and so much more.
Ed is full of hard-earned practical wisdom. Spending time with someone I’ve studied for almost a decade was awesome.
I hope you listen.
