  • I'm giving 5 stars for Fevzi but that Eddie Nestor is such a pain in the arse that I nearly cancelled this podcast.

    I know he's not on every podcast, thank goodness, but I want to hear about technology, not about some pumped up DJ's ideas on the future of the human race.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

15th March 2026 - Talking Social Media Addiction on LBC Radio
Q: Hello Fevzi? What do you think about whether social media companies are addicting the brains of children?
Fevzi agrees there are strong arguments that design features and engagement hooks contribute to addictive experiences, especially for younger users, and stresses the importance of considering both harmful by design elements and the need for warnings and protections.
6th March 2026 - Talking AI and the Military on LBC
Q: What are the potential applications and risks of AI in defense beyond autonomous weapons?
The guest notes that AI could assist with complex military planning and geopolitics, potentially outpacing human decision-making, while also highlighting the risk of loss of human oversight and control in critical decisions.
6th March 2026 - Talking AI and the Military on LBC
Q: What's going on with the OpenAI and Anthropic deals with the US government, and how did we get here?
Fevzi explains that Anthropic initially signed a defense-related agreement with strict red lines, which the Pentagon pressed to modify; Anthropic exited the contract, and OpenAI then pursued its own deal, triggering controversy and a broader ethical debate about government collaboration with AI firms.
5th March 2026 - Talking Generative Apps on BBC Oxford
Q: What is agentic AI and how does it differ from current AI assistants?
Agentic AI is about taking agency to act in the world, not just advising; it becomes a digital employee that can operate browsers, perform tasks, and autonomously carry out actions for the user.
5th March 2026 - Talking Generative Apps on BBC Oxford
Q: Do you think in the future most apps, if not all apps, will harness some form of AI?
Yes, the core functions will persist, but AI will elevate how we use them, turning phones into a more integrated, proactive digital toolkit with a potential digital concierge.
