Quantum & Coffee: SXSW 2025 Impressions, With Kwaku Aning

What struck us at struck us at SXSW

Listen on Spotify | Apple | All Podcast Apps

Educator, innovator, super-connector, and conference champion Kwaku Aning and I discuss a few things that struck us at SXSW, including:

  • Why we’re in a “pre-mainframe” moment in quantum computing — and why you should prepare for what comes next

  • Bioengineering: are we headed for a Westworld-style mix of human musculature and AI?

  • Robot choreography, e.g. how to train a self-driving car to drive non-aggressively (but also should they be allowed to speed?)

  • Mind control via inaudible noises and Severance-style brain implants

  • Whether or not I had enough breakfast tacos in Austin…
