About The Nickel City Forum

The Nickel City Forum is a drinks & discussion series in Buffalo, New York. We have public intellectual events. The Nickel City Forum is also a podcast. We think it's possible to pursue the big questions in life together. So we're always up for a good argument. We'll post event audio, follow-up interviews with our speakers, and episodes related to seeking the good life.

Forum 2/26/26: Is AI an Existential Threat?

On Feb 26, 2026, we had a Nickel City Forum event at Five Points Bakery on the West Side of Buffalo. Dr. Steve Petersen is Professor of Philosophy at Niagara University, and is a leading researcher in AI issues. He addressed the question of whether Artificial Intelligence is a threat to humanity. (TLDR: It is) Note: The event recording failed, so this is a follow-up recording with Dr. Petersen.

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.
