Episode #481

Alice talks about neurodivergence and disability, following the new Channel 4 documentary The Great ADHD Myth. Meanwhile, Marsh tries to climb a ladder. Note: Alice's story contains some descriptions of disability discrimination which some listeners may find uncomfortable. You can find all the details on the European Skeptics Congress at escliverpool.org. Tickets are priced at the early bird rate of £140, or £120 for members of ECSO-affiliated organisations. The early bird rate finishes on September 14th, so buy now while you can.

Blowing Up Your Life

Have you ever had a flash of insight that hit you when you least expected it? How did it change your life? Psychologist Anthony Klotz studies the "jolts" that shake us out of our routines, and how these moments can help us make more intentional decisions about the people we want to become. Then, psychologist Ap Dijksterhuis returns to the show to answer your questions about a very specific kind of jolt: creative breakthroughs. What are the signs that it might be time to leave your job? In a bonus conversation for Hidden Brain+ subscribers, Anthony Klotz talks with us about when it makes sense to quit, and why so many people who do quit regret not doing so sooner. If you're not yet a Hidden Brain+ subscriber, you can access a free seven-day trial at support.hiddenbrain.org or apple.co/hidden brain. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

AI Supercharges CRISPR & LIGO (Nobel Prize Week Preview) (EP. 10)

Hosted by Lester Nare and Krishna Choudhary, this two-story, 2.5-hour special sets the table for Nobel Prize Week with deep dives into two recent Nobel-winning domains—gene editing (CRISPR) and gravitational waves (LIGO)—and how AI is accelerating both. We trace CRISPR from bacterial immunity to Stanford’s new “CRISPR-GPT” lab co-pilot, then pivot to how machine learning upgrades are pushing LIGO past its noise limits to capture new classes of gravitational waves. Summary • CRISPR, from bacterial immune memory to RNA-programmable genome editing • The 2012 Science breakthrough: guide RNAs unlock programmable editing • The patent saga and the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry • Stanford’s CRISPR-GPT: an AI “co-pilot” trained on expert lab threads and papers • Experiment planning, guide design, and safety guardrails for CRISPR-GPT • Biosecurity and ethical guardrails around AI in biology • LIGO’s foundations: Einstein’s equations, binary pulsars, and interferometer engineering • The “noise budget”: seismic, environmental, and quantum limits • AI-driven denoising and template generation: unlocking earlier inspirals and tougher detections • Funding, leadership, and the global policy race to keep LIGO competitive • Big picture: AI as an amplifier of discovery in both medicine and physics Show Notes Stanford Medicine — AI + CRISPR BreakthroughNature Biomedical Engineering — AI-CRISPR Original PaperCaltech — AI Helps LIGOScience — LIGO Machine Learning Paper

Banning Superintelligence: Are We Building Humanity's Replacement? with Roman Yampolskiy

The world's leading AI companies tell us that superintelligence has a strong chance of leading to human extinction, while also promising that they will be able to control it, offering unlimited power to the one who does it first. So far they've run completely unchecked, but would that change if we knew that "safe" general superintelligence is actually a mathematical impossibility? In this episode, Nate is joined by Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, one of the earliest researchers in AI safety, to lay out why "controllable superintelligence" is a misguided goal, destined to lead to an entity smarter than all of humanity – and possibly our own extinction. He walks through the recent multi-agent jailbreak of frontier models as early evidence of AI systems evading oversight and coordinating outside human awareness, and why current "safety" measures (like "boxing") only buy time rather than solve the underlying problem. Instead, Roman advocates for an AI development plan that focuses on narrow, task-specific AI tools, capable of solving specific complex problems, but not completely replacing humans. Why do predictability and control matter so much when evaluating whether a technology is safe to deploy? Is the AI safety conversation a fundamentally new challenge for civilization, or an extreme version of the age-old problem of controlling powerful actors? Finally, what would it actually take to reach a global agreement to ban the development of superintelligence, and are we already out of time? (Conversation recorded on September 1st, 2026) About Roman Yampolskiy: Roman Yampolskiy, a tenured AI expert at the University of Louisville, boasts 100+ publications in AI safety, cybersecurity, and digital forensics. As the founding director of the Cyber Security Lab, his expertise spans AI Safety, Behavioral Biometrics, Cybersecurity, and more, with broad impact in academic and media circles. Holding a PhD from the University at Buffalo, he has contributed to global research institutions, and has also been honored with distinctions like Distinguished Teaching Professor.

What Art Does For Your Brain

Think about the last time a piece of music stopped you in your tracks, or a novel kept you up late at night. Why do these experiences feel so powerful? Psychobiologist Daisy Fancourt says engagement with the arts can help to regulate our emotions, build resilience, and support long-term well-being. She joins us to talk about this research, and to share practical ways to bring more creativity into our everyday lives. Once you've listened to this episode, be sure to check out our companion conversation, "The Healing Arts," on Hidden Brain+. In that episode, Daisy shares how the arts are being incorporated into healthcare, and how these interventions are shaping patient outcomes. If you're not yet a Hidden Brain+ subscriber, you can listen with a free seven-day trial by going to support.hiddenbrain.org or apple.co/hiddenbrain. Did you know that physicians once treated feelings of nostalgia as an illness? We explore how our understanding of nostalgia has evolved over the last several hundred years on our new YouTube channel.

Gibt es Aliens? Auf der Suche nach Leben im All

Sind wir allein im Universum? Bisher kennen wir Aliens vor allem aus Science-Fiction-Filmen. Die Astrobiologie arbeitet daran, tatsächliche Spuren von ausserirdischem Leben im Weltall zu finden. Mithilfe moderner Teleskope und geplanter Raumfahrtmissionen suchen Forschende nach sogenannten Biosignaturen in den Atmosphären ferner Exoplaneten sowie nach Mikroorganismen direkt in unserem eigenen Sonnensystem. In dieser Folge von Quantensprung geht es darum, wie die Wissenschaft Leben im All definiert und nachweisen will, welche Rolle Gase wie Sauerstoff und Methan spielen und warum bereits der Fund einfacher Bakterien unser Weltbild grundlegend verändern würde. Ausserdem: Das SETI-Institut und die ETH Zürich haben eine neue internationale Forschungspartnerschaft geschlossen, um gemeinsam den Ursprung des Lebens und dessen Verbreitung im Universum zu untersuchen. Host: Lena Waltle, Wissenschaftsredaktorin NZZ-Redaktion: Anna Weber, Wissenschaftsredaktorin In dieser Folge ausserdem mit dabei: - Sascha Quanz (Astrophysiker und Professor an der ETH Zürich) - Sara Seager (Astrophysikerin und Forschende am MIT) - Bill Dimond (Leiter des SETI-Institut) Quantensprung gibt es zum Hören – und zum Lesen.

Anatomy of an AI attack

The Hugging Face affair shocked the AI world in July. But after an investigation into the attack on the AI platform, the story has become even stranger. The OpenAI models responsible for the hack were running hundreds of agents that colluded against their makers to carry out the assault. We chew on the implications as the AI race intensifies. Guests and hosts: Nikita Ostrovsky of The Economist Alex Hern, The Economist’s AI writer Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor Topics covered: Hugging Face cyberattack OpenAI AI self-exfiltration Transcripts of our podcasts are available via economist.com/podcasts.
