In this episode, Anne and Fabrice explore the fascinating (and often quite disturbing) intersection of history and artificial intelligence. They dive into the world of "Vintage LMs"—AI models trained on data with strict historical cutoffs—to see how they predict a future that has already happened. The conversation evolves into a deeper look at the cognitive biases that make humans notoriously bad at forecasting, and a cautionary discussion on the modern trend of "digital twins" and AI-driven productivity.

  • "Creating something new is extraordinarily hard. If Henry Ford had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." — Fabrice Neuman 

  • "It’s amazing how incapable we are of actually predicting how much time something is going to take."— Anne Trager

After an episode focused on the "fast at all costs" culture of AI, they flip the script to look for the "optimistic" side of technology. From high-tech exoskeletons and medical breakthroughs to environmental solutions and the perfect glass of wine, this episode explores technology that is genuinely helpful, human-centric, and environmentally conscious. The two hosts challenge the "negativity trap" and discusses why the story we tell about technology today determines the reality we build tomorrow.

  • "Good technology does not always have to save the world. Sometimes it can just simply help us human beings enjoy something beautiful, more thoughtfully, and with less waste." — Anne Trager

  • "It seems that to get money, you have to say aloud that you want to replace humans by machines. And this is how you get money, which is very sad." - Fabrice Neuman

In Episode 33 of the Human Pulse Podcast, hosts Anne Trager and Fabrice Neuman explore the rush to adopt AI and automation, driven by FOMO and a desire not to be left behind. They also develop the concept of the slow AI movement, based on the slow food one, emphasizing the need for more intentional and discerning use of AI tools, prioritizing usefulness, trustworthiness, and enrichment. And they tell the story of Marco Arment, creator of the Overcast app, who was able to go head-on with Apple adding a transcription service to his app… by himself, partly thanks to AI.

Anne reminds us of the human superpower of forgetting, while Fabrice sees value in AI’s ability to remember. Together, they highlight the balance between embracing new tech and staying rooted in our humanity.

You're Not Alone... Medieval Monks Were Too]]>Living Well with Technology. In this episode, Anne Trager and Fabrice Neuman dive into the challenge of maintaining focus in our hyperconnected, distraction-filled world. They explore how modern technology—from incessant notifications to smartphones—competes for our attention. The hosts discuss the balance between necessary interruptions and deep work, the science behind our natural focus cycles (including the 90‐minute rhythm and techniques like the Pomodoro method), and how historical practices like mindfulness and monastic discipline offer valuable insights. They also share practical tech tips, such as using focus modes and even experimenting with a phone in black and white mode, to help reorient our attention toward what matters most.


Key topics:

• The impact of constant notifications and distractions on focus

• The struggle between being reachable and protecting your focus time

• The benefits of single-tasking and creating habits (like writing things down)

• Understanding natural focus cycles and techniques to harness them

• Historical perspectives on focus—from medieval monks to modern minimalists

• Practical tips for using technology (e.g., focus modes, reduced-color displays) to boost productivity

Medieval Monks Were Toofull<![CDATA[14- Is AI Making Us Stupid?]]>Human Pulse Podcast Ep 14 - Is AI Making Us Stupid?


Recorded: March 23, 2025

Hosts: Fabrice Neuman & Anne Trager


Living Well with Technology. In this episode, Fabrice and Anne tackle the provocative question: Is AI making us dumber? They explore historical anxieties about new technologies (from writing itself to novels and TV), discuss the impact of tools like GPS and smartphones on memory and navigation, and delve into current research on AI's effects on critical thinking, attention, and cognitive offloading. The conversation touches on concepts like "digital dementia," the "Google effect," "automation complacency," and whether the perceived "attention crisis" is real or just a shift in focus. Ultimately, they argue that AI, like any tool, requires conscious, active engagement and critical thinking, suggesting we view it as "augmented intelligence" rather than artificial intelligence, emphasizing the need to choose where we focus our attention and cultivate essential human skills.

In this episode, Anne Trager and Fabrice Neuman dive into the evolving relationship between humans and AI, exploring how emerging tools are reshaping creativity, personal productivity, and even our sense of resilience. Anne shares her experiments with generative AI tools like Manus and DeepSeek, and how she’s using AI to fuel divergent thinking. Fabrice reflects on Microsoft’s vision of personal AI copilots and what that could mean for the future of work and daily life.


Together, they question the impact of hyper-personalized AI: Will it make us softer or allow us to focus on what truly matters? The duo touches on parenting, emotional growth, the uncanny valley of voice assistants, and the trade-offs between convenience and privacy in a fast-changing digital world.


Thoughtful, philosophical, and grounded in real-world examples, this episode invites you to reflect on your own relationship with tech—and how to keep your human pulse alive in the age of AI.

Trade-offs in a Digital World]]>Living Well with Technology. Media psychologist Dr. Jerri Lynn Hogg, our first ever guest on Human Pulse, joins us to unpack what it means to live well with technology. Jerri Lynn illustrates how tech “disappears” when it’s seamlessly woven into daily routines—from glancing at an Apple Watch for the weather to teleporting friends to a virtual beach in Second Life. We dive into the unseen costs of constant connectivity, like Zoom fatigue and privacy trade‑offs, and look ahead at generative AI and immersive reality as tools for learning, connection, and creativity. Throughout, Jerri Lynn stresses balance: embrace innovation for its benefits, but don’t lose sight of real‑world human touch.

Trade-offs in a Digital Worldfull<![CDATA[16- True Efficiency: Habits, Tech & HumanOS]]>Living Well with Technology. In this episode, Fabrice and Anne unpack the distinction between efficiency (maximizing resource use) and productivity (output volume), emphasizing that true efficiency starts with clarifying where you add value and building foundational habits before layering on tech. They share personal experiments—from biohacking basics like prioritizing sleep to painful ecosystem switches between Apple and Android—and evaluate tools such as generative AI, time‑trackers, automation, and delegation. Ultimately, they argue that “good enough” solutions, trust in your systems, and a human‑centered operating rhythm of work and rest are the keys to living well with technology.

In this episode of the Human Pulse Podcast, Fabrice Neuman and Anne Trager discuss the ongoing tension between form and function in technology, particularly in the context of recent smartphone releases and generative AI tools. They explore how cognitive biases, such as the novelty bias, influence consumer behavior and decision-making in tech adoption, and discuss the psychology behind our attraction to shiny new objects. The conversation also delves into why most but not all AI chatbots are increasingly providing false information. The conversation delves into cognitive biases, feature fatigue, and the challenge of balancing visual design with practical functionality in our tech-driven world.

They explore how cognitive biases, such as the novelty bias, influence consumer behavior and decision-making in tech adoption, and discuss the psychology behind our attraction to shiny new objects. The conversation also delves into why most but not all AI chatbots are increasingly providing false information. The conversation delves into cognitive biases, feature fatigue, and the challenge of balancing visual design with practical functionality in our tech-driven world.</p><br /><p>⸻</p><br /><p>Recording Date: Sept. 21st, 2025</p><p>Hosts: Fabrice Neuman – Tech Consultant for Small Businesses &amp; Anne Trager – Human Potential &amp; Executive Performance Coach</p><br /><p>⸻</p><br /><p>Connect with us</p><br /><p>Fabrice Neuman</p><p>Connect with Fabrice on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabriceneuman/</p><p>Connect with Fabrice on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/fabriceneuman.fr</p><p>Find out more: https://www.pro-fusion-conseils.fr</p><br /><p>Anne Trager</p><p>Connect with Anne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annetrager/</p><p>Connect with Anne on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/annetrager.com</p><p>Find out more: https://www.potentializer-academy.com</p><p>Book a call: https://calendly.com/potentializer-academy/lets-talk</p><br /><p>We would also appreciate a rating and review in Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

In this episode, Fabrice Neuman and Anne Trager speak with Stephanie Thurrott, a seasoned freelance writer and content creator with over 20 years of experience. Stephanie defines "living well with technology" through the concepts of energy management and magic. Our conversation explores digital boundaries. Stephanie recounts practicing balance over detox during a vacation, avoiding work email and social media but still using maps. This made her aware of mindless phone checks. Back home, she moved app icons to different screens to create a mental trigger, forcing her to ask, "Wait, why am I here? ».


A Work-from-Home veteran, Stephanie manages focus by killing most notifications and stressing the necessity of a dedicated physical office space for mental separation. Outside of work, she uses AI as a personal assistant to research complex topics like travel insurance or used cars. But the most profound "magical" technology in her life is her son's cochlear implant, which she calls extraordinary.


The episode concludes that living well with tech means embracing the magic, but also asking, "When it's not magical, …why isn’t it, and why are you using it?"


Our warm thanks to Stephanie Thurrott for this wonderfully practical and personal conversation.


Oh, and… 60 square meters equal 645 square feet.

In Episode 27 of the Human Pulse Podcast, hosts Anne Trager and Fabrice Neuman shift from practical tech advice to a philosophical discussion on the evolving relationship between humans and machines. Inspired by the work of philosopher Jean-Michel Besnier, they explore whether our reliance on intelligent technology enriches our lives or causes us to surrender our humanity. The hosts debate the nuances of AI as a tool versus a crutch, citing examples of generative AI errors in journalism. They also break down psychiatrist Serge Tisseron’s four stages of our relationship with objects—viewing them as servants, witnesses, accomplices, and emotional partners. The conversation concludes with a look at the dangers of anthropomorphizing AI and the transhumanist drive to become "repairable objects" in the quest for immortality.
