Scenario prompts are a way to develop responses to trends and developments and train your organisation’s collective change muscle, making you more profitable, resilient, and adaptable. If you want to talk about scenario prompts for you and your organisation, you can book a free appointment here.
Scenario prompts 28 Augustus 2024
Today’s prompts are the quantum internet, water from air, South Korea, health care AI, waste energy, cloud seeding, writing, digital replacements, living for 1000 years, and an opportunity to pre-order my book about books about AI.
Researchers blend quantum and traditional internet in connectivity breakthrough
https://studyfinds.org/quantum-traditional-internet/
Researchers have cracked a code that’s been puzzling scientists for years: how to send both quantum and classical information through a single optical fibre.
Solar-powered box extracts 264 gallons of drinking water from air per day
https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/solar-powered-system-makes-drinking-water-from-air
Aquaria’s line of atmospheric water generators can provide clean drinking water to drought-stricken regions.
South Korea recycles 98% of its food waste. What can it teach the world?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/09/south-korea-food-waste-composting/
South Korea is one of the few countries with a nationwide system for food-waste management. While France made composting food mandatory this year — and some cities like New York have imposed similar rules — few places match up with South Korea.
The leapfrog opportunity in healthcare AI
https://a16z.com/why-will-healthcare-be-the-industry-that-benefits-the-most-from-ai/
Whereas we historically have viewed the low adoption of software as a liability, we now view that as an asset—we don’t face the same sunk cost bias that might be slowing other industries down from taking full advantage of the latest AI innovations.
New EV battery transforms waste energy into power for extended range
https://interestingengineering.com/energy/ev-battery-waste-energy-into-power
DEOGAM’s new battery technology uses energy harvesting, a process that captures and converts ambient energy into usable power. It enables devices to self-generate electricity from sources like light, heat, or movement.

Writing is actually good for you. Write your own book. See https://www.ronimmink.com/book-in-8-days/
Are You Training Your Digital Replacement?
According to a recent research paper, we could run out of “fresh” data (data no Gen-AI model has seen) in less than two years.
How Old Can Humans Get?

Do you wan to live for a 1000 years?
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.
