Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mark Seligman, "AI and Ada: Artificial Translation and Creation of Literature" (First Hill Books, 2025)

Q: Do you think AI could ever develop the sensitivity to make those aesthetic trade-offs, or will it always lack the human touch?

Seligman discusses that while AI could learn from human translation, it may still struggle to replicate the depth of human emotional experience.

Mark Seligman, "AI and Ada: Artificial Translation and Creation of Literature" (First Hill Books, 2025)

Q: Could you share how your own life journey shaped the way you framed this great transition between humanity 1.0 and 2.0?

Seligman reflects on experiencing significant technological changes, feeling genuine shock at their magnitude, and recognizing the profound differences in perception between generations.

Jessica Urwin, "Contaminated Country: Nuclear Colonialism and Aboriginal Resistance in Australia" (U of Washington Press, 2025)

Q: What about nuclear waste? How is that part of these discussions?

Nuclear waste has always been a very fraught topic in most countries and it still is...there's a desire to keep that waste away from urban centers.

Jessica Urwin, "Contaminated Country: Nuclear Colonialism and Aboriginal Resistance in Australia" (U of Washington Press, 2025)

Q: If Australia doesn't have nuclear weapons and doesn't have nuclear energy, whose weapons are we actually talking about here?

So the weapons that were tested in Australia were those of the British...there were nine inland tests in the central deserts of Australia.

Jessica Urwin, "Contaminated Country: Nuclear Colonialism and Aboriginal Resistance in Australia" (U of Washington Press, 2025)

Q: Could you please start us off by introducing yourself a little bit and tell us why you decided to write this book?

I'm an environmental historian...this book was a culmination of nearly a decade of research, which began really from an interest in nuclear politics in particular.
