Have You Embraced Your Physical AI…?

Have You Embraced Your Physical AI…?

Read this article on LinkedIn to join the conversation

When was the last time you upgraded? I’m not referring to your hotel room… or your seat on a plane… or your phone… or even your OS.

You… yourself?

CES 2026 made one thing unmistakably clear: The real technology conversation is shifting… from Artificial Intelligence (AI as we currently know it) to Physical AI.

NVIDIA and others are defining Physical AI as the moment intelligence leaves the cloud… leaves the chat parlor tricks… and becomes embedded in the real world. It’s no longer just a talking assistant… Not just smarter apps… Not just faster back-end workflows… but intelligence inside the things we touch, use, and depend on like cars, appliances, devices, factories, and infrastructure.

As Jensen Huang said at NVIDIA GTC 2023, “The next wave of AI is embodied AI… intelligence that is in the physical world… interacting with people and machines.”

And that is the shift…

AI no longer lives somewhere abstract. It lives in cars, in refrigerators, in robots, and on factory floors.

As WIRED reported in its CES 2024 coverage, “From smart factories to autonomous machines… AI is now powering physical decision making.”

Which brings us to the real inflection point: Physical AI drives a stake through the heart of the old Internet-of-Things story. IoT was about connection. Physical AI is about capability.

A sensor telling you you’re out of milk is connectivity. A system that understands your habits, your health goals, your preferences, and acts intelligently on your behalf… that’s Physical AI. The connection still matters…It always will. But intelligence in the thing is what makes it transformative.

I Don’t Want to Be a Burden in My Old Age

Austin Tang — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:57:56 +0000

I am not afraid of growing old. Let the wrinkles come—I will wear them like medals, proof that I have laughed, cried, and lived deeply. Let my skin loosen and fold like pages in a well-loved book. Let my hair silver and shine, a crown earned by years of stories.

I do not fear the quiet. Solitude is no stranger; I have learned to make peace with my own company. I have sat in stillness and found strength there. I know how to rest in the silence without being swallowed by it.

But what unsettles me is something else—fate. That unpredictable force that sometimes tucks you in at night like a loving hand and other times leaves you standing in the rain, forgotten and cold.

I do not want to become a burden—a sigh of exhaustion behind closed doors. I do not want my presence to feel heavy in the room or my name to be whispered in tones of weariness. I do not want my dependence to become someone else’s silent sacrifice.

I want to be like the wind—restless, moving, always dancing forward. I want my old age to be a poem of resilience, a morning brewed with memories, a sunset painted with hope. I want to keep learning, keep loving, keep discovering—never stagnant, never finished.

I do not fear aging. I fear being boxed in by a life I didn’t choose—a life that shrinks instead of expands.

So I will keep walking forward, not clinging to what was, but embracing what still can be.

And if the day comes when my steps falter and I lean on others more than I would like, I will offer my gratitude freely, never forgetting that love is not a burden—it’s a gift.

To those who carry others with patience and tenderness—you are the quiet heroes of this world. Thank you

Holmes

DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEALTHSPAN AND LIFESPAN?

Listen to “DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEALTHSPAN AND LIFESPAN?” on Spreaker.

With New Year Starting Soon Time to Learn & Embrace Healthy Habits

You May Be Surprised When & Why Most Start Living a Healthier Lifestyle

It’s that time of year – when people begin reevaluating their habits, especially when it comes to eating, exercise and living an overall healthier lifestyle.

While many people believe a healthier lifestyle will improve their lifespan (how many years a person lives), the more important aspect is how it will improve their healthspan (the number of healthy disease-free years of life).

A new survey finds:

A whopping 57% of respondents* say they started healthy habits because of medical reasons.
36% say they were advised to adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors by a physician.
32% say that they started healthy habits in order to mitigate health issues.
Only 36% say they learned healthy habits at a young age from parents or loved ones.
Meanwhile one in four (26%) parents** admit they feel negative emotions when thinking about their children’s nutritional intake and diet, with 18% feeling “frustrated” and one in ten (10%) feeling helpless.

In other survey findings, 62% respondents*** have suffered from gut problems, with one in three (34%) saying they were suffering from gut problems currently.

The survey also found that although the vast majority responding use vitamins or supplements daily, and almost half (47%) mistakenly believe the FDA approves vitamins and supplements. One in four (24%) say vitamins/supplements are “critical” to maintaining their health.

These findings are part of Amway’s first annual “Habits and Healthspan” survey. The idea behind the survey is to help share information to motivate people to live healthier lifestyles. Although more than $4.3 trillion is spent on healthcare currently in the U.S., the gap between life expectancy and healthspan is still growing. Today, the average American will spend the last 13 years of his or her life in poor health.

Holiday Durham, PhD, MS, and registered dietician will discuss the survey results and explain how we can adapt a healthy lifestyle to live a longer disease-free life. Holiday is also a clinical investigator at Amway leading the strategy and product innovation of the global women’s and children’s health and nutrition portfolios.

ELIMINATING THE GROWING PROBLEM OF HATEFUL SPEECH & ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN SOCIETY

Austin Tang — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 18:57:48 +0000

Listen to “ELIMINATING THE GROWING PROBLEM OF HATEFUL SPEECH & ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR IN SOCIETY” on Spreaker.

How Corporations & Individuals Can Help

If you have spent any time on social media in the past several years, you will have seen harassment and hate in all its ugliness. Social media platforms, initially touted as mechanisms to bring the world together, have grown into petri dishes breeding hostility, harassment, and hateful discourse. Hate and antisocial behaviors are also increasingly prevalent offline.

http://www.pmi.com/letstalk or https://mariansalzman.com/
One corporation which has long experienced hostility is Philip Morris International (PMI). The company says that comes with being a prominent player in an industry viewed unfavorably by much of society because of its core product: cigarettes.

Today, even as the company is working to deliver a smoke-free future thanks to science-based, better alternatives for adults who would otherwise continue to smoke —moving ever closer to the time when it will completely end sales of cigarettes in the international markets where they operate—vestiges of that hate remain, impeding an open and fact-based dialogue on the potential these innovative products represent for smokers and public health.

The consequences of hate and polarization transcend industry sectors and impede progress across society. That’s why the company wants to elevate the conversation around some solutions to the problem of what they are calling “hate in the air.” PMI has conducted a survey and developed a report from the survey responses, to try to find some answers to this growing problem in society and understand what factors have led to the rise in hate and misinformation and the loss of civil discourse and respect for objective truth.

PMI surveyed 5,000 adults in five markets: Brazil, France, South Africa, South Korea, and the United States. 70% reported that the level of hate and hate speech in their country has increased in the past two years and 52% worry that hate, and hostility are hampering progress in society.

Marian Salzman, senior vice president, global communications at Philip Morris International (PMI), discusses the survey results and the company’s report and recommendations on the rise of hate.

Salzman says while hate globally is on the rise, this trend should not surprise us. She says our modern culture of news consumption too often cages us within echo chambers self-constructed to affirm our beliefs and push out conflicting data and perspectives.

She’ll also offer ways to begin engaging in constructive dialogue. Salzman is considered one of the world’s top trendspotters and throughout her career has been at the leading edge of the rapid revolution in technology and social change.

Company officials say their report is intended to contribute to the conversation around hate and division and encourage more individuals and organizations to work toward resolving these critical challenges. Some recommendations include:

Engage, engage, engage: Relentlessly seek out opportunities for interaction, dialogue, and debate, even with—perhaps especially with—those who consider you the enemy.

End exclusionary policies and practices: Among survey respondents, 77% agree that society’s biggest challenges will never be solved if we demonize and exclude those with whom we disagree.

Champion the primacy of science and fact: Using data and proof points as anchors, companies must use their full voice to show up in conversations and counter the noise created by those seeking to confuse or mislead.

WE’VE ALL SEEN THE GROWING ATTITUDES OF ANGER IN SOCIAL MEDIA AND OFFLINE – WHAT DID YOUR SURVEY SHOW?

2. AFTER REVIEWING THE SURVEY RESULTS WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS DRIVING THIS RISE IN HATE?

3. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORPORATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS TO MOVE BEYOND HATE?

4. WHY WAS IT IMPORTANT TO CONDUCT THIS SURVEY?

5. WHAT OTHER KEY TAKEAWAYS DO YOU WANT THE AUDIENCE TO BE AWARE OF?

THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION EMBRACES WELLNESS, BUT HOW DO THEY DEAL WITH SERIOUS CHRONIC DISEASES?

Austin Tang — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 20:12:25 +0000

Many Millennial-aged People with Multiple Sclerosis Put Their Own Health Challenges on the Back Burner, Not Fully Understanding the Implications of Proactively Managing their Condition
It’s no secret that the millennial generation embraces wellness and has helped bring health-mindedness to the forefront of pop culture today. But when it comes to taking care of more serious health challenges, many experts are noticing people in their 20’s or 30’s are approaching healthcare differently and often prioritizing “living their best lives” over thinking about their health.
For younger people with serious health issues, putting off talking to a doctor or not getting on an effective therapy after the diagnosis of a chronic disease can have irreversible implications in the long-term. This is especially true with chronic conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS), the most common debilitating, progressive disease, which affects one million U.S. adults – striking in the “prime of life” when people are starting careers and families, and eventually leading to irreversible physical disability for many people. With the average age of onset at 34, most people newly diagnosed with MS over the next 10 to 15 years will be millennial-aged people (ages ~22-39).
According to the National MS Society many people newly diagnosed with MS react with shock and denial, often leading to them not taking proactive steps to manage their disease or connect with the broader MS community. It is important for millennial-aged people to be proactive in their care and pursue early treatment to slow disability progression as they are at an age and point in their disease when a disease-modifying therapy may offer greater impact.
Channing Barker, a millennial-aged person living with MS, who will shed light on her experience of living with MS and working with her doctor to take control of her health. Anne Gilbert, Director of Programs at Can Do MS, a national MS advocacy group known for their work with younger people living with MS, will also share her perspectives on the need to better connect with and support this younger generation of people living with MS.

Cristal Glangchai, What’s keeping girls out of STEM? Why?

admin — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 17:23:02 +0000

Listen to “Cristal Glangchai, Whats keeping girls out of STEM? Why?” on Spreaker.

Girls at a very young age are curious about science and math—about 74% of kindergarten girls want to go into STEM—but by the time they reach middle school, only 15-20% remain interested.

Scientist, author, and professor Cristal Glangchai, PhD, attributes this to the way educators, parents, and the media talk to girls about pursuing STEM careers. She argues that a key part of raising strong, confident young women is giving them the tools of entrepreneurship to engage in STEM.

Glangchai’s new book, VentureGirls: Raising Girls to be Tomorrow’s Leaders (HarperCollins; May 2018) explains what has kept young girls out of STEM fields, as well as the practical applications of STEM learning, and how we can address the gender imbalance therein.

Dr. Glangchai offers a unique solution based on her own experience as an engineer and entrepreneur as well as the founder of VentureLab, a nonprofit that empowers kids, especially girls, with an entrepreneurial mind-set. VentureGirls.

Dr. Glangchai can discuss or write about the following:

• Women and STEM: How, as of now, women make up only 29% of the science and engineering workforce. Dr. Glangchai can share her fundamentals for empowering young girls in STEM.

• How STEM Education Impacts Entrepreneurship: Dr. Glangchai explains how science teaches kids about failure, and why learning to embrace failure is the key to entrepreneurial success.

• Creating Young Entrepreneurs: 65% of kids will have jobs that we cannot even imagine today. How parents can and should encourage kids as young as 5 years old to embrace their innovativeness and entrepreneurial mindset.

Publishers Weekly recently called VentureGirls a “game-changing guide to empowering young women.” The author has been featured on the TODAY Show, NPR, Wall Street Journal, TEDx, and much more.

Annual Fashion Show, Project Streetwear presents on June 3rd, in Sunnyside, Queens…

admin — Tue, 29 May 2018 19:30:44 +0000

Listen to “Annual Fashion Show, Project Streetwear presents on June 3rd, in Sunnyside, Queens” on Spreaker.

“BACKTACK to Broadway“ http://www.sunnysideartworks.info/annual-fashion-show/

Our annual fashion show is set for June 3rd, right here in Sunnyside Gardens!
In our ninth year, our show celebrates the music of Broadway. Each Broadway shows tell a unique story about humanity, in the form of relationships, social and political issues, our young designers are each telling a unique story or their own through the clothing they choose to create and wear.
This year we encouraged our students to embrace their story along with the design process, from beginning to end. What most sewing do not get to do is make their own fabric. The fabric is the first decision in the design process. By making your own fabric or by altering the surface in some way, you have the opportunity to take total control of your ideas.
The students approached this project from a different points of view. Color blocking, layering textures and appliqué are a few of the surface design projects you will see on the runway. What you will notice most is hand printed fabric. More than half of our students chose to hand carve a print block and use that block to custom print their own fabric. One of our students took the plunge and sent her fabric to a professional printer to get her fabric made-to-order. Whatever process each young designer chose, the results are both very personal and amazing!
These creative young professionals are the future of fashion! You don’t want to miss this show!
The lights go on at 2:00 on June 3rd at Queen of Angels Auditorium.
To get tickets go to: BACKTACK to Broadway TICKETS
