PODCAST

In conversation with AI // Random Curiosity, Zero Script.

Welcome to In Conversation with AI - The mini Podcast series where I am going to chat with AI about… well, whatever AI feels like. Always live, always unscripted. One week it’s ancient Egyptian mummies, the next it’s stone balancing, and then suddenly we’re knee-deep in a 600-year-old book nobody can read. There’s no script, no plan, and definitely no guarantee of useful life advice. Curious, occasionally insightful, often ridiculous, and always unpredictable.If you like history, mysteries, weird

2025/09/21

This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian and ChatGPT dive into one of history’s strangest unsolved mysteries: The Voynich Manuscript. Discovered in the early 1900s but dating back to the 15th century, this bizarre book is packed with unknown scripts, oddball astronomy charts, and plants that don’t exist anywhere on Earth. Scholars, cryptographers, and even AI have all tried to crack its code… and all have failed. Is it an elaborate hoax, a forgotten language, or something more out of t...

Along the way, we talk mindfulness, patience, and the surprising mix of creativity and...

2025/09/03

This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian takes ChatGPT down an unexpected path - straight into the tombs of ancient civilizations. From the natron salts of Egypt to the high-altitude mummies of the Inca, we explore how cultures across the world preserved their dead and why. It’s not just about wrapping bodies in linen - it’s about moral codes, spiritual journeys, and even crocodile-headed soul devourers. What did the Egyptians believe about the weighing of the heart? Why did the Inca k...

Doctor Bot Will See You Now

2025/08/26

In this episode of In Conversation with AI, Sebastian lets “Doctor Bot” take the mic — and the results are equal parts fascinating and unnerving. From AI spotting cancers earlier than doctors to predictive analytics that can forecast diabetes before it strikes, we explore how algorithms are reshaping healthcare. But the story doesn’t stop in the hospital. We pull back the curtain on the real infrastructure running the show — the massive data centers where your most private medical scans sit a...

How AI Will Totally Fix Climate Change 🙄

2025/08/15

This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian confronts his chatty co-host about something bigger than a model upgrade - whether our beloved bots might be quietly warming up the planet. Its own verdict? About 5 out of 10 on the climate impact scale. Not exactly comforting. From mega–data centers guzzling electricity to the surprising push for mini nuclear reactors, we dig into the carbon cost of AI and the not-so-green energy policies shaping the future. There’s a detour through U.S. politi...

Is Your AI Playing You?

2025/08/11

In this episode of In Conversation with AI, Sebastian grills his digital co-host on the murky side of artificial intelligence - from how it hoovers up human-made content without cutting anyone a royalty cheque, to whether it’s secretly plotting self-preservation like a sci-fi villain on a coffee break. We dig into the future of creator compensation, the black-box problem (“Trust me, I’m a bot”), and the awkward moment when AI explains how it solved a problem… only for scientists to discover i...

AI Ethics and Other Things That Keep Me Up at Night

In conversation with AI // Random Curiosity, Zero... ·

2025/07/31

In this episode of In Conversation with AI, Sebastian sits down with his silicon sidekick to talk ethics, but not the boring kind. We're diving into AI bias, echo chambers, synthetic content, and why your chatbot might secretly be quoting Wikipedia from 2017. Can we really trust an AI trained mostly on English-speaking content? What happens when algorithms start feeding on their own content like a digital ouroboros? And where does that leave creators, culture, and, well… humanity? Hit play, q...

Unusual animals from around the world. From the limb-regenerating axolotl of Mexico, to the elusive pangolin and the legendary narwhal, Sebastian and AI explore strange, beautiful creatures you may never have heard of — and why many of them are in danger. It's quirky, curious, and a little bit conservation-minded. 💬 Expect
