Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 304 ratings
  • Hosts rude to each other and the guests

    The woman host seems like she has to interject constantly, especially over her co-hist, but even over the guest. It’s annoying to listeners.

  • A New Model, are we?

    - Yes, in short. One of only 2-3 ‘casts that I actively pay for, month to month. What can be said? Kept folk sane, entertained, sorted during lockdowns of pandemic; offering deep, nuanced and unique commentary on what’s happening out there in the integrated world(s) [of URL + IRL] - both macro and micro in scale. Highly two thumbs upped and recommended to those curious about true 21st century soothsaying.

Preview | Orit Halpern on Agentic Imaginaries (NM88) 2025
Q: Can you explain the conflict between smartness serving an individual against the need for large populations?
There is a contradiction as smartness is marketed towards individuals yet thrives on large datasets from populations, implicating issues of data ownership and privacy.
Preview | Orit Halpern on Agentic Imaginaries (NM88) 2025
Q: What is smartness and how does it correspond to what we now speak of these systems as intelligence?
Smartness is often linked to environmental connotations and denotes a less anthropomorphic nature than intelligence, which is historically tied to quantifying human reasoning.
