The average person touches their phone 2,617 times a day. We are a generation with our heads bowed to a 5-inch piece of glass. But what if the smartphone is just the "awkward teenager" phase of computing?

In this episode of The Horizon Shift, host Abhishek Roy explores a future where technology becomes as invisible as the air we breathe. From the physical toll of "Text Neck" to the sci-fi reality of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), we’re moving beyond the rectangle.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The Attention Tax: Why our current devices are cognitively "expensive."

• Ambient Intelligence: A world where the walls and furniture have a "mind" of their own.

• The Final Frontier: Will Neuralink and BCIs end the need for screens forever?

• Cognitive Liberty: How to protect your thoughts in an always-on world.

Stop looking down. The future is wider than five inches.

Can math be prejudiced? Host Abhishek Roy explores why trading human intuition for machine "efficiency" often has a hidden shadow. This episode journeys through the ethical dilemmas of the COMPAS algorithm, the "Quality-Adjusted Life Year" (QALY) metric in healthcare, and the cultural nuances of MIT’s Moral Machine experiment.

Abhishek proposes a four-phase systemic plan to re-engineer AI—from pre-training audits to the "Human Circuit Breaker". If you value fairness over a fast answer, this episode is for you.

Key Mentions:

• Safiya Noble: Algorithms of Oppression.

• Philosophy: Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and Immanuel Kant.

• Frameworks: EU AI Act & White House Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights.

Next Time: We explore the "Death of the Smartphone" and the evolution of the internet you live inside of.

The Great Game has moved from the mountains to the motherboard. 🌍💻

In Episode 4 of The Horizon Shift, host Abhishek Roy explores why a tiny piece of silicon in Taiwan is currently the most contested territory on Earth. We’ve entered the era of the Compute War, where national power is no longer measured in oil or land, but in FLOPS (Floating Point Operations per Second).

From the "Suez Canal" of intelligence in the Taiwan Strait to the newly implemented 2026 export controls, we’re unmasking the "Compute Curtain" and what it means for the future of global democracy. Are we becoming "Digital Vassals" to the nations that own the most powerful chips?

In this episode, we dive into:

• The Great Game 2.0: Why GPUs are the new gold.

• The Choke Point: TSMC and the fragile global supply chain.

• Digital Sovereignty: Why nations are "re-shoring" AI infrastructure to survive.

• The Algorithmic Empire: How AI exports are actually exporting worldviews.

Listen now to navigate the new borders of the 21st century.

Isaac Newton was the smartest man on Earth, yet he lost the equivalent of $5 million in a market bubble. His warning? "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." Is history repeating itself with Artificial Intelligence?

In this episode of The Horizon Shift, host Abhishek Roy follows the money. We move past the breathless headlines to unmask the "Trillion Dollar Mirage." From the staggering $15,000-per-minute operating costs of Big Tech to the "AI-washing" of startups that are nothing more than a pretty interface over someone else’s brain—we’re finding the signal in the noise.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The Hype Cycle: Where are we on the curve? (Hint: The drop is coming).

• Wrappers & Mirages: How to spot a 92%-failure-rate "AI" company.

• The Nvidia Factor: Why the world is fighting over "shovels" in a digital gold rush.

• The Great Shakeout: Why the crash of 2000 was the best thing to happen to Amazon, and what that means for your career today.

Is the era of the human career coming to an end, or are we simply upgrading our tools?

In this episode of The Horizon Shift, we dive into the "AI Revolution" and ask the uncomfortable question: Will AI eventually make every job redundant? We draw parallels between the steam engines of the Industrial Revolution and the LLMs of today to understand if history is repeating itself—or if this time is fundamentally different.

We explore:

• Historical Context: Why the Luddites were (mostly) wrong, and what that means for us.

• The "Human-in-the-Loop" Model: Why collaboration might be our last line of defense.

• Total Automation: Which industries are truly at risk of a "lights-out" future?

• The Last Resume: How to prepare for a labor market where the most valuable skill isn't what you know, but how you direct the machine.

Whether you're an optimist or a skeptic, this episode is a deep dive into the future of how we work—and why we work.
