SSBT Season 2 is like an AI-Generated Dinner Party in Space
Welp. Here we are with a bittersweet episode of Same Same but Tech: it’s the Season Two wrap up show. And after travelling up, down and all around the technosphere, what a season it was! From the highest of highs to the pits of despair, our guests brought us into their worlds, building technologies that are moving and shaking the foundation of culture and bringing us into the future, one brilliant analogy at a time. And while the good times always have to come to an end eventually, we thought we’d like to keep the party going for one more supercut to remind you, dear listeners, of how much awesomeness we had along the way. With a docket including: plant based meat, AI art, space tourism, virtual beings, NFTs (and more!), there’s a bit of ear candy for each one of you out there. So buckle up and put that car in drive, because we’re hitting the road. It’s the clip show!

Startups are like Cooking Without a Recipe (feat. Brad Feld, Techstars + REEF Technology)
Joined by O.G. startup whisperer, Brad Feld, Co-founder of Techstars and Managing Director of the Foundry Group, we dive into the startup soup. This latest wave of startups is boooooming. Money is pouring in as startups as the pandemic actually births or accelerated many - from audio social networks to video conferences to ghost kitchens! But anyone who’s tried before knows how hard it is to actually start a company. It takes funding, confidence, and a team that can make it happen. But how does this all come together? In this episode of Same Same but Tech, we track the story behind the startup who went from parking lots to a “proximity as a service” revolution. We’ll get the inside scoop of all the ups and downs from REEF Technology Co-Founder, Philippe Saint-Just. You might just walk away with the emboldened drive to go start your own venture. To the moon!

Deepfakes are like Hollywood Body Doubles (feat. Descript + MIT Media Lab)
The deepfakes are coming! The growing trend of AI manipulated media has been racking up views and making everyone from Tom Cruise to Nancy Pelosi say things they’ve never said before, blurring the line of trust in what’s actually real and what’s altered on the Internet. In this episode of Same Same but Tech, we go deep with a startup called Lyrebird, who revolutionized an audio deepfake technology called voice cloning. Co-Founder and Head of Research Kundan Kumar gives the inside look at how they developed their voice clones and shook the internet in 2017 with a demo featuring a faked conversation between Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Are we heading towards a future of distrust and suspicion for everyone we see and everything we do online? Has a voice clone already taken over hosting duties for this very podcast? We might just have to run a deepfake detection program on Mauhan to find out. With expert insight from MIT Media Lab Professor, Pattie Maes and Research Assistant, Pat Pataranutaporn.
Hosted by Máuhan M Zonoozy (or is he a deepfake too?), Head of Innovation at Spotify, Partner-alum at BCG Digital Ventures, and NYC-based angel investor and entrepreneur.
