About Digital Doomsday

We were promised flying cars, but got targeted ads and emotional collapse instead.Welcome to Digital Doomsday (formerly Sci-Fi Realities), a podcast about the many ways technology is actively ruining humanity—one startup, synthetic embryo, and robot uprising at a time.Hosted by Sophia Ferguson (not a scientist, but deeply concerned), this show dives into real-world sci-fi absurdities: AI gone rogue, de-extinction experiments, designer babies, humanoid Olympics, and the corporations hellbent on coding utopia… or something way worse.If you’re fascinated, horrified, and just a little too online—this one’s for you.🧬 Real science. 🤖 Black humor. 💀 No hope? Maybe.New episodes monthly (or when I get to it). Bring snacks and emotional support.

Bots That Blackmail, Mice With Human Guts, and Alien Signals

In this episode of Sci-Fi Realities, we’re talking blackmailing bots, mice with human organs, and strange signals from under Antarctica’s icy crust. From Anthropic’s AI going full mob boss to scientists creating chimera creatures that may or may not be plotting our demise, the future is looking… deeply unsettling. Also, is someone (or something) trying to contact us from beneath the ice? It’s giving Ex Machina meets Zoo meets The Thing. Join me as I spiral.

Earth 2.0: The Great Billionaire Escape Plan

While AI ignores shutdown commands, billionaires are building escape pods from reality. Tour the fever dreams of the ultra-wealthy: Saudi Arabia's $500 billion mirror death ray, Honduras getting sued by its own charter city, and Silicon Valley plotting Greenland takeovers. Peter Thiel and friends are turning dystopian novels into real estate—with crypto governance and a strict "no poor people" policy. But there's hope: a mysterious alien signal might be our cosmic Uber out of here. Just kidding. But it's fun to imagine. #TechFeudalism #AlienSignals #Dystopia #Comedy #Neom #Prospera #Greenland #FutureTech #SciFiRealities Catch the latests episode on all streaming platforms, and make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss what the future throws at us next!

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.
