Ep24. A.I., Don’t Mimic Us: Expand Beyond Our Human-Like Thinking for Limitless Possibilities with Turing Post Newsletter Founder Ksenia Se

Oct 12, 2023

Do machines think? 

Find out in today’s episode with Ksenia Se, the Founder of the Turing Post newsletter.

Over 20 years of her career, Ksenia has donned many hats: from New York Chief Editor of a global media platform to fintech executive to PR Director at Moscow's first Contemporary Art Center to Journalist, and even to a Llama Walker. Regardless of her role, her passion for technology has always remained. 


In 2018, after a brief affair with blockchain, A.I. and machine learning caught her attention and became her fields of self-study. By 2019, she had started thinking about a media publication named Turing Post to feature digital avatars, articles written by robots, generative art, and more – but the technology wasn't there yet.


Then in 2020 during the pandemic, Ksenia and Jesus Rodriguez conceived an educational A.I. newsletter. Named TheSequence, it became her gateway to machine learning, where she currently spearheads partnerships. When the buzz around ChatGPT grew, she revived her first idea and launched Turing Post, now serving as her A.I. canvas. As an avid learner, Ksenia helps her readers understand A.I.'s roots, its current impact on society, and where it might take us in the future. Importantly, she discusses how we might steer its course.


In today’s episode, you’ll learn more about the history of large language models, known as LLMs, in addition to the importance of Alan Turing, how the Turing Test is still relevant, and interesting questions Turing asked that we’re still exploring. Ksenia also shares how she uses A.I. in her own work, thoughts on the future of humans augmenting our abilities with technology, and why we shouldn’t anthropomorphize tech too much, but instead should expand beyond our human-like thinking to not limit ourselves and the possibilities of evolving with technology.
