Can AI & Extended Reality Benefit Humanity? How Our Lives Will Change

Welcome to the HypXR podcast, the tech show that dives headfirst into the Matrix—but that’s smart and funny. Wellness and tech entrepreneur Nick Janicki and investigative researcher Rob Counts teamed up to put together their discussions on virtual reality, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, futurism, and more. They get a little philosophical, a little deep into the human mind, and really figure out how this “extended reality” relates to our lives.

In this pilot episode, HypXR talks about the relevance of technology in daily life and how technology leads to addiction. Is healthy interaction with tech even possible at this point? Is it corrupting children? And how about the big A.I. debate? Is artificial intelligence going to bring us a bright future, or are we the ones who have to determine that outcome? What’s our role in shaping this bizarre future of ours anyway? Join Nick and Rob for the HypXR podcast that’ll help you navigate the multiverse.

Discussions in this episode: using technology to benefit humanity, flotation tank therapy, the GeniusX virtual reality production company, wellness experiences, a virtual reality museum, video games being immersed into life, desensitization versus innocence, classes and education in virtual reality, VR headsets from Apple, how eye tracking and mind intent become like superpowers when integrated with technology, the advancement of technology and devices, future predictions of where technology is headed, biotechnology, contact lenses that can correct vision in real time, what “mastery” of art or a skill means, funny A.I. art, how to help people using technology (versus something like the atom bomb), ‘80s and ‘90s scary movies, why our moms were right not to let us watch disturbing content, A.I. training materials, failure of the metaverse model, Congress’ understanding of technology’s advancement, Elon Musk’s comments and inventions, and so much more.
