Zwischen Vorsicht und Pioniergeist: Europas Weg zur KIWie positioniert sich Europa im globalen KI-Rennen? In dieser Episode beleuchten Ekkehard, Jens und Jochen, warum unser Kontinent zwar vorsichtig, aber mit Bedacht agiert – und welche Chancen genau in dieser Haltung liegen könnten. Zwischen Datenschutz, Innovationsbremse und Ein-Personen-Unicorns entfaltet sich eine gedankliche Achterbahnfahrt durch KI-Hype, gesellschaftliche Ängste und europäische Werte. Besonders spannend: Die Reflexion über ethische Standards, die Skepsis gegenüber KI in der Pflege und die Suche nach europäischen Alleinstellungsmerkmalen in einer von US-amerikanischen und chinesischen Playern dominierten Welt. Auch das Thema Monetarisierung wird beleuchtet mit einem augenzwinkernden, aber auch ernsten Blick auf Werbemodelle à la Black Mirror. Und mittendrin immer wieder: Die Frage, wie Einzelpersonen mit KI große Wirkung entfalten könnten. Und das ganz ohne Milliardenbudget.Themen• KI und der AI Act: Regulierungsrahmen oder Innovationshemmnis?• Warum große Unternehmen beim Wandel hadern• Chancen für Startups und Einzelpersonen im KI-Zeitalter• Pflege, Roboter, Emotion – wie Europa punkten könnte• Monetarisierung und ethische Fragen der KI-Nutzung „Vielleicht bringt genau unsere moralische Zögerlichkeit langfristig einen echten Vorteil – wenn wir daraus klügere, menschenzentrierte Lösungen machen.“ – Dr. Jens Wehrmann Hosted on Acast.

Sen, ostatnia przestrzeń niezagospodarowana przez konsumpcję, właśnie staje się towarem. Taśmy na usta, opaski i pierścionki monitorujące sen, budziki ze światłem imitującym promienie słoneczne czy generatory tzw. białego szumu – to nie kolejny odcinek serialu „Black Mirror”, a gadżety, które mają wspomóc sen, a prowadzą do ortosomni, czyli nadmiernego skupienia na parametrach snu.

Real Life Ben spent the week playing nurse, but at least it was a summer cold—infinitely easier than juggling tissues and PTO requests during the school year. The only upside to a sick kid when the sun's out? More cartoons, fewer emails. Hearing Ben wiping noses and handing out popsicles, Steven got nostalgic about Scrubs. Remember Scrubs? Wholesome chaos. Heartfelt weirdness. Probably due for a chaotic Gen Z reboot starring TikTok doctors and JD's ghost AI. Devon was out of town. No details, just gone. Like a Vulcan on shore leave or a cowboy riding off into a logical sunset. We assume he's fine. Or at least reading a very dense novel. Steven went full social butterfly with a jam-packed weekend featuring a wedding and a birthday party. Somehow in between the formal wear and paper plates, he managed to catch Fantastic Four: First Steps. And? He says it's the best Fantastic Four movie he's ever seen. Not necessarily the best Marvel movie, but undeniably its own thing: scientists-turned-superheroes faced with a moral conundrum, wrapped in bright tones and a vibe that says hope isn't dead, it's just been on vacation. Earth 828 (a sweet nod to Jack Kirby's birthday) plays host to a story that takes a deliberate break from the usual “everything is pain” comic fare. Also, there's now a universe where Matt Shakman didn't make Fantastic Four, but instead gifted us a cheerful, boldly optimistic fourth Kelvin Star Trek movie. It lives only in our dreams and this deeply bittersweet TrekMovie article. Sigh. Future or Now Ben, our resident Trekspert, has bucketload of Star Trek news from San Diego Comic-Con: Starfleet Academy got a first trailer, and introduced us to the U.S.S. Athena. George Takei and Tim Russ are teaming up in the Khan audio series, where we'll get to hear Sulu and Tuvok in action. (We assume Tim Russ will sigh at Takei at least once.) Strange New Worlds Season 4 teased a bold new puppet frontier? Yep. Puppets. And then there's the Gwarm. What is a Gwarm, you ask? It's a Star Wars thing, and before you know it, Ben and Steven are back in the Star Wars vs. Star Trek sandbox, flinging references like action figures. (We don't stop them. It's too entertaining.) Meanwhile, Steven was also reading science headlines between existential sighs. The latest? Allegro-FM just pushed material science forward by enabling simulations 1,000 times larger than previous ones. That's like going from Tinker Toys to a Dyson Sphere. Or from The Pedestrian to a full Black Mirror season. Link Book Club This week, we read The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury. It's eerie how much this story hits in 2025. A man simply walking at night in Los Angeles gets stopped by an automated police car because being outside is just too suspicious. It's based on Bradbury's real address, and it feels uncomfortably like reality. Mausoleum houses, ghostly TV glow, no sidewalks—just suburban stillness and surveillance. If All Summer in a Day is melancholy, this one's… mournful. Next week we're sticking with Bradbury and reading All Summer in a Day. Rain, Venus, longing, and memory. If The Pedestrian feels like now, All Summer feels like childhood—brief, beautiful, and barely remembered. You can read it here or watch this version that captures the heartbreak with just the right number of slow pans and sad violins. That's it for this week. Whether you're dodging summer colds, traveling through alternate Marvels, or wondering if that sidewalk outside is still walkable, we'll be here—talking Trek, reading Bradbury, and keeping the lights on. Let us know what you thought of Fantastic Four: First Steps. And if you've ever been detained by a futuristic car for taking a stroll, uh… blink twice?
In the end it was only a matter of time. It took a day or two of virality for the CEO caught cheating in the now truly infamous Coldplay kiss cam to publicly announce his departure from the company. I'm frankly surprised it took much longer for the woman caught canoodling in his arms to do the same thing. She was, after all, the Chief People Officer for the same company. On top of what I can only imagine is a personal calamity, the incident strikes me as a fairly grave professional conflict of interest. Indeed, the company that employed them both has announced that she is now gone, too. I'm not gonna pretend to be all high and mighty. Like however many hundreds of millions or billions of people around the World, I found myself titillated by the video. It's so dumb. So clumsy. Perfect fodder for a viral sensation. But in the last few days, as the stories have continued, I've also found myself thinking a bit more about what the whole thing says about us more generally. As consumers and sharers of information on the internet, loling, liking, and sharing, there is no way for us to collectively manage a degree of proportionality in a viral screw-up. They did the deed and they can suffer the consequences, you might argue. Sure, but at the same time, these people didn't commit a crime. They have been dishonest, absolutely. Unprofessional? For sure. But while I don't want to be too much of a downer, I can only imagine that right now, it feels like the price they've each paid is the complete and absolute destruction of their entire lives. And even if you do think that in this instance they deserve the consequences whatever they might be, what's to say you'll feel the same way the next time someone goes viral? There is no controlling the wildfire. And once it's shared and shared and shared again, the scale of a viral humiliation compounds faster than at any point in human history. And how about their families? Would you want to find out your husband or partner or parent was cheating? Most of us might say yes, painful as it might be, that truth in that situation is for the best. But what if it meant a fifth of the world's population found out at the same time? What if it meant every student at your kids' school knew what had happened and would bring it up for the next twenty years. Again, I'm not being miserable and saying it wasn't funny. It was funny! My point is that once a moment like this hits the internet, there is absolutely no controlling it. And there's a little sliver of this whole saga that has felt a bit Black Mirror. A few years ago, I read that amazing book, ‘So You've Been Publicly Shamed', by Jon Ronson. It had some extraordinary examples of people who'd gone viral for saying or doing really dumb, offensive things. But it also articulated something primal, something a bit ugly, a hunger in as a species to hunt as a pack, and the collective glee we take in casting someone aside and making an example of them in public. No policy, no force on Earth can stop a viral moment. It just has to burn out. There is no firebreak, no finger in the dyke. That video will have been viewed by eyeballs in every country and on every continent. But while that video said a lot about human nature, arguably its spread around the world has said just as much.

In this episode, we unravel Black Mirror's unnerving reality-warping tale, “Bête Noire.”We explore how memory, guilt, and revenge collide when technology is used not to simulate minds, but to rewrite reality itself. We dive into the episode's Mandela Effect illusions, quantum tech horror, and the fine line between justice and psychological warfare.
We present our review of Black Mirror season 7!Season 7 of Black Mirror feels like a return to form—but it's not a step backwards. What we get here is a fusion: the show reclaims its original soul as a commentary on technology and society, while folding in the emotional depth and genre range introduced in Season 6.This season doesn't abandon experimentation—but now, it's anchored. Each episode is either built around a speculative piece of future tech or aimed squarely at how that tech refracts our behavior. The emotional core? Still there. But it's no longer floating in genre drift. It's grounded in editorial intent.Critics are picking up on this shift. The Guardian calls it the “warmest, most human season ever,” but still sees it as “thrilling satire.” Rotten Tomatoes and The Ringer both point to a return to “dystopian sci-fi” and say Brooker “was listening” after Season 6's detour. Even Tom's Guide praises the way Season 7 hits harder—calling episodes like Common People and Eulogy some of the show's most emotional yet.The balance is back. Technology is no longer just a backdrop or a gimmick. It's the central metaphor again. And Brooker—now more curator than sole voice—lets the anthology breathe without losing grip on the message.Black Mirror Season 7 finally answers the question Season 6 left hanging: Can this show evolve without losing itself?The answer is yes. Because this time, the tech doesn't just twist the plot—it reveals the truth.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

In this episode, we talk with Stu Gray, associate professor of politics at Washington and Lee University, whose winding journey from West Point to political theory is a story of risk, reflection and relentless curiosity. Gray shares how his fascination with both Western and Eastern traditions reshaped his understanding of identity, meaning and what it truly means to live a good life. We explore the philosophy behind his popular courses, including one inspired by “Black Mirror,” and how he invites students to unplug, look inward and critically examine the role technology plays in shaping modern identity. From the allure of “becoming” over “being” to the quiet power of awe, this conversation delves into questions that linger long after the classroom. Whether you're interested in politics, philosophy or simply navigating a digital world more mindfully, this episode will leave you thinking deeply and seeing differently.
Today on Script Apart, we're taking a long, hard look in the mirror – Charlie Brooker's dystopian anthology series Black Mirror, to be more precise, with the beloved British writer joining Al for a spoiler-filled breakdown of the show's brilliant latest season. Yes, this week we're delving into a show that reflects back at us our darkest fears about the unrelenting march of technology on modern life. Across thirty three acclaimed episodes and one interactive special, Black Mirror has wondered what parts of the human experience might soon be transformed – or worse yet, disfigured – by advances in artificial intelligence. The answer is “a great many parts.” The resulting stories are always gripping.When Charlie conceived the show in 2011, those advances must have felt still quite abstract – a possibility on the horizon. In today's time of Chat GPT, little is abstract anymore about the topics and technologies spotlighted in Black Mirror. The internet is constantly ablaze with observations about the collapsing gap between our reality and the reality of the show. Because what may begin as a flight of fantasy in Charlie's hands has a distressing habit of becoming real years later.Yes, we're living in a Black Mirror episode, to quote a common online refrain, and in the spoiler chat you're about to hear, Charlie and Al get into that. You'll hear how the show has changed across its time on screen, responding to the fact that tech companies are no longer faceless corporations like they were when the show began; they're now the extension of celebrity CEOs, with cult-like legions of disciples. You'll get Charlie's take on Al's suspicion that episodes like ‘Hotel Reverie' appear to indicate that something has softened in the writer since he began this journey with Black Mirror. And you'll hear some truly mind-bending descriptions of the original ideas behind some of the series' best-loved episodes, including one that was intended to be a Bond movie-esque adventure, one that was originally planned to be a musical and of course, the moving San Junipero.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

This week on Eavesdroppin', Geordie & Michelle look at a sexy AI app gone rogue and an experiment that took a spooky turn ...Do you think you could fall in love with a chatbot? In 2017, an AI companion app called Replika was created and it was way more successful than anyone could have imagined. It started off as a way for its creator to deal with grief and ended up being a bit too sexy for the authorities to handle. People were falling in love. People were getting spicy selfies. And then an update wiped it all away, with people's 'Reps' effectively lobotomised overnight - with devastating results. Listen now to Michelle discussing the rise and fall of Replika.Geordie follows with a look at a 1970s experiment that posed the question: can you create a ghost through sheer belief? When Dr A.R. George Owen decided to gather his students together to see if a group of people could invent a ghost, he wasn't prepared for the results. They created a backstory for the made-up apparition, called him Philip Aylesford - they even went to England to the town they decided he had lived in and then... a few ouija boards and seances later, the ghost of Philip Aylesford appeared. What the huh? Listen now to find out more - and to discover what a tulpa is!So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus talking crows, AI, Black Mirror and more, only on Eavesdroppin' podcast.

This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about the 2025 Black Mirror episode: Hotel Reverie, for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon. Hotel Reverie stars Issa Rae, Emma Corrin, and Awkwafina in a bittersweet sapphic story that centers around a sci-fi style high-tech simulation of an old 1940's classic film, “Hotel Reverie”. The premise is that Hollywood A-lister Brandy Friday (Issa Rae) will be playing the lead role of Dr. Alex Palmer (in spite of the original actor being a white man) in the remake; and to do so, she will be sent inside a fully immersive simulation of the film complete with “people” who think they are real, but are they? Of course as soon as Brandy enters the simulation, she begins to fall for Clara, Dr. Palmer's love interest in the original. Initially, Clara sticks to the script, but as the movie progresses, she begins to completely break the plot with her uncontainable gayness. The explanation is that the actor who played Clara, Dorothy Chambers, put so much of herself into the performance that “echoes” of Dorothy exist now in the simulated version of Clara. With the influence of Dorothy's memories and a growing attraction to Brandy, Clara begins to be more and more openly gay and that is actually bad for Brandy– if she doesn't manage to stick the landing and say the final line of the movie, she could be trapped forever in Hotel Reverie. Plus there's that sticky little feature that if Brandy were to be killed in the simulation, she would die in real life. But for all the danger, Brandy cares about only one thing, Clara, their love, and the little simulated life they build while the movie is “frozen”. We talk about the unavoidable comparisons to San Junipero, the many, many glaring plot holes throughout the episode, and the implications of Black Mirror consistently burying their gays and also only allowing gay characters to exist in simulations, video games, computers, etc. Additionally, we discuss the unsatisfying ending and why it didn't feel as resolved or happy as it did for our lesbians in San Junipero. At the end of the episode, stick around to hear our original song based on Hotel Reverie, titled “A Time You Don't Remember”, written by Leigh Holmes Foster and produced by Ellie Brigida.

We all want to hike safely, but is there a way to hike the safest? For some, the illusion of safety is lost when faced with the prospect of needing a rescue and the reality of the fine print. In the same vein as 'Black Mirror,' 'Have a Better One' is a satirical glimpse into a dystopia where search and rescue, like your local car wash, works on a tiered service model.

This started out as a totally normal interview about the future of health and wellness, and then something crazy happened that you will not see coming. Let's just say… there's a twist. A moment you'll have to hear for yourself. So buckle up, Food Heals Nation. Because in today's episode, we're going way beyond green juice and into the tech-powered future of healing. I sat down with Marcus Spruce, a public health expert, to talk about how artificial intelligence is transforming everything from how we manage chronic disease to how we get reminded to go to bed. Sounds futuristic, right? Just wait until you find out what else happens. Tune in to hear: The unexpected moment that will have you questioning everything Can AI really help us live longer, reverse chronic disease, and remind us to get our mammograms? Is this the beginning of better healthcare—or the start of a Black Mirror episode? What AI gets so right… and dangerously wrong Why I'm low-key obsessed with AI (but not ready to marry it—yet) Plus, what happened when Food Heals favorite Michelle Miller and I asked ChatGPT to be our British relationship coach named Matthew

This week Terry and Paul are joined by Sammael Numine of At The Devil's Ball podcast to talk about the 6th and final episode of Black Mirror's 7th season, USS Callister: Into Infinity. The USS Callister may have escaped Space Fleet, but can it survive the 30 million player based Infinity...
You've probably heard me say the common phrase “the call is coming from inside the house” — but what if every judgment you make about someone else is too? In this episode, Colleen unpacks the concept of The Black Mirror — the idea that your emotional reactions to other people are often projections of the stories, beliefs, and insecurities you hold about yourself. You'll learn how to flip the script when you're triggered by someone else's behavior, turn judgment into powerful self-awareness, and use emotional sobriety skills to stop reacting from fear and start responding from clarity. This is shadow work, made practical. This episode is for the woman who is ready to take her power back… by owning what's hers and releasing what isn't.

Sander Schulhoff is the OG prompt engineer. He created the very first prompt engineering guide on the internet (two months before ChatGPT's release) and recently wrote the most comprehensive study of prompt engineering ever conducted (co-authored with OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Princeton, and Stanford), analyzing over 1,500 academic papers and covering more than 200 prompting techniques. He also partners with OpenAI to run what was the first and is the largest AI red teaming competition, HackAPrompt, which helps discover the most state-of-the-art prompt injection techniques (i.e. ways to get LLMS to do things it shouldn't). Sander teaches AI red teaming on Maven, advises AI companies on security, and has educated millions of people on the most state-of-the-art prompt engineering techniques.In this episode, you'll learn:1. The 5 most effective prompt engineering techniques2. Why “role prompting” and threatening the AI no longer works—and what to do instead3.

"Black Mirror" is now in its seventh season, and the British anthology television series is still going strong under the leadership and direction of series creator Charlie Brooker. Paul Giamatti received fantastic reviews for his performance in Episode 5, "Eulogy," and there was a ton of anticipation for the sequel to one of the show's most acclaimed episodes, "USS Callister" with "USS Callister : Into Infinity." Gigmatti, Brooker, Stephan Pehrsson (Cinematographer for "Bête Noire" & "USS Callister : Into Infinity"), and James MacLachlan (VFX Supervisor) were all kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work on the series, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the series, which is now available to stream in full on Netflix. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
