Haerenga Tuarima - Part 2 - Binary Code, Babel and Automated Mansplaining
from Ngā Here - The Many Connections Hosted by James Beck
In this episode, we explore how ancient empires and modern artificial intelligence might be built on exactly the same values. James, Waiora, and Andrew continue unpacking Genesis 11, exploring how the push for a single global language and ultimate "efficiency" is the classic playbook of an empire. Waiora shares how Te Ao Māori values a deep, localised connection to the whenua and a diversity of thought over the homogenising power of imperial control. The crew is then joined by computer scientist Neil, who breaks down how Large Language Models actually work. Together, they explore how the universal language of ones and zeros shapes our imaginations and whether our world is blindly rushing towards a dystopian future. Make sure you keep listening to the rest of the season! Ngā Here - Many Connections is created with support from the Wilberforce Foundation, produced by Mick Andrews at CBA, with Creative Direction from James Beck. Find out more at arocha.org.nz
