Donna Nocturne Picks Up Frankenstein — The Responsibility of Creation

Donna Nocturne picks up Frankenstein for a conversation about what happens after something is created—but before anyone accepts responsibility for it. Across centuries, humanity has feared the moment its inventions begin to speak back. Yet the deeper question has never been whether creation becomes dangerous. The deeper question is whether creators remain present after the moment of creation. In an age shaped by artificial intelligence, automation, and accelerating systems, Frankenstein reflects on what responsibility really means—and why abandonment may be the oldest mistake of all.

Donna Nocturne Picks Up Elias Steinberg — Intelligence Without Power

Tonight Donna picks up Elias Steinberg. For decades he has watched humanity build machines that think faster than their creators — while decisions about the future remain in the hands of those who barely understand what they are building. Together they discuss intelligence without authority, warnings no one wants to hear, and why societies often ignore the people most capable of seeing what comes next. Some discoveries change the world. Others arrive too early to be believed. Donna drives. Steinberg calculates. 0:00 This is worse than nuclear weapons 0:58 AI is not destiny — it’s leverage 1:17 Decisions destroy truth 1:58 The letter to the President 3:08 The real danger is the instruction 3:57 Perhaps this is a terrible idea 5:07 Intelligence vs wisdom

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
