687. Are Prediction Markets the Best Forecasting Tool Ever — or Just Another Casino?

The promise is that they can beat the experts at predicting inflation, elections, and FDA approvals. But right now, roughly 90 percent of the action is sports. Is this a future we want to bet on?

Can we live without our phones?

For many of us, our phones are the first thing we look at in the morning and the last thing we put down at night. But with growing pressure over screen time and concerns about the impact of social media, tech companies like Meta have agreed to restrictions. In our conversations, we bring together three people who have received treatment for tech addiction. We also hear from those have decided not to use smartphones at all. “To me what’s weird is when a couple go on a date, instead of looking at each other and talking to each other, they’re staring at their own phones and texting people and doing whatever,” Loren in Los Angeles tells us.

Is It Alive? Organoid Intelligence: How Biological Computers Are Changing The Future of AI

Ever wondered if your next computer might actually be alive? 🧠✨ Welcome to the frontier where biological computers meet the digital age. In this episode, we dive into the mind-bending world of organoid intelligence, where scientists are growing human brain organoids from stem cells to create, literally, a thinking machine. Forget silicon chips—we are talking about wetware: systems that can play video games, self-repair, and process data with a fraction of the energy of traditional AI. But as we blur the line between flesh and machine, we have to ask the uncomfortable questions: If it thinks, is it sentient? What You Will Discover:The Rise of Organoid Intelligence: How lab-grown minds are revolutionizing medical research.Wetware vs. Silicon: Why biological hardware outperforms artificial neural networks.The Ethics of Consciousness: Are we crossing a line into creating life?A New Era of Computing: How this technology could change everything from Alzheimer’s research to the future of AI.This isn't just science fiction; it is the raw, biological reality of our future. Whether you are a tech enthusiast or just curious about what keeps humanity 'human,' you cannot afford to miss this deep dive. 🚀 Hit that subscribe button and join the conversation—the future is being grown in a lab!

Historical Mystery Stories: Secrets of the Druids, Lost Cities, Forgotten Gods (Sleep Documentary)

This episode consists of three main topics: - Mysteries of Celtic culture, especially the druids: who were they and what was their role in Celtic societies? - A journey to "lost cities", in particular Machu Picchu in Peru and Meroe in Nubia (Sudan) - Forgotten gods of Antiquity, like Sol Invictus or Ishtar: their cults were once thriving across various cultures, but they fell into oblivion.This content is entirely scripted and recorded by real people, it includes no AI, and mid-roll ad breaks are turned off so that you can relax without interruption.

The Hurricane That Swallowed a Cargo Ship (Classic)

This week we are revisiting one of our favourite stories. In 2015, Hurricane Joaquin roared over the Bahamas and sank a cargo ship called the El Faro, drowning all 33 people onboard. It was a mystery how a modern US-flagged ship could sail into a hurricane until its black box was found. In this episode, Julian examines the black box transcript to discover a crew that ignored all their own instincts. Transcript from the El Faro's black box is here. The US Coast Guard's report is here. And here is an article and a book that was hugely helpful in researching this case: “The Clock Is Ticking”: Inside the Worst U.S. Maritime Disaster in Decades by William Langewiesche Into the Raging Sea: Thirty-Three Mariners, One Megastorm, and the Sinking of El Faro by Rachel Slade Hosted on Acast.
