Scenario prompts are a way to develop responses to trends and train your change muscle, making you more successful. If you want to talk about scenario prompts for you and your organisation, you can book a free appointment here.
Scenario prompts 30 August 2024
Today’s prompts are a humanoid platform, XR, micro-fabrication, a future with billions of humanoid robots, bio-hybrids, 2050, superconducting, Tesla tanks, and an opportunity to pre-order my book about books about AI.
Are you ready for the (biohybrid) robot revolution?

Biohybrid robots combine living and synthetic materials, taking the forms of limbs and organs or even entire living organisms.
Here’s how strange 2050 will be, according to the world’s leading AI expert
Economists assume that the flow of these technologies is linear – it goes 1, 2, 3, 4. But really it is more like 1, 2, 4, 8. When something grows that quickly, advancements seem to start happening so suddenly one after the other.

Tesla tanks?
A book about books about AI
https://www.ronimmink.com/product/a-book-about-books-about-ai/
So far, taking the perspective from 22 books/authors covering intelligence (there are many forms), work, synthetic biology, transhumanism, economics, spiritualism, digital transformation, data, etc. When you go through the books again, you start to wonder if we are asking the right questions. Pre-order to stay in the loop.
