The AI Doomsday Machine? (We’re Not Allowed to Talk About It) | EP 30 Part 2 | 3reate

With an abrupt start after Part 1, do you ever feel like your brain is short-circuiting from the constant digital noise? It’s not just you. This episode unpacks the anxiety of our hyper-connected world, revealing how social media was just the warm-up act for a much bigger challenge: Artificial Intelligence. We explore how technology is changing society faster than our brains can adapt, leaving entire generations behind and making basic systems fail. The conversation then pivots to the most critical question of our time: Are we building an AI we can't control? We reveal the shocking parallels between unregulated AI development and dangerous gain-of-function virus research—and why we must have a public debate about this technology before a handful of tech companies decide our future for us. This is the conversation about AI you’re not hearing anywhere else. The weekly episodes are the fortnightly recorded checkins between Andrew and Nathan, that they hope help inspire your curiosity and creativity. These are different from typical guest episodes as they are less focused on conversation.
