Essential geekery!
This is by far my favorite podcast! Among the many excellent guests are outstanding, big names like George R.R. Martin, Atwood, LeGuin, Ishiguro etc, and the hosts are well informed, ask diverse and interesting questions and are great at giving their guests the space to talk. Besides interviews there are discussions and panels about all things geek, like a new SF movie or an interesting theme in books. Highly recommended to anyone who is even a little geeky!
"Russian AI"?
The Steve Pinker episode #296:
Seriously – an example of malevoloent AI is that "Russians would programme AI to spew out viruses". You don't have to look that far, brother – your own government has AI running the drone programme at this very moment, killing civilians in foreign countries. Even your own citizens!. But I guess that's OK if you are a white Yank living in the US.
