What AI Costs the Planet
Google's 2026 report shows its electricity demand up 37% in a single year. Microsoft's shows emissions up 25%. This episode looks at what running AI actually costs the planet: the energy, the water, the hardware, and who ends up carrying the physical burden. It covers the scale of the problem, the mechanism that keeps consumption rising even as efficiency improves, and which of the proposed fixes hold up and which don't.

AI Watermarking: What the Mark Can and Cannot Tell You
Since August, much of what the major AI systems produce carries an invisible watermark. In this episode I explain what that mark is, how it gets built into text and images, and why new European rules pushed companies to adopt it this summer. I separate watermarks from the AI detectors many educators already use, look at how both can be removed or faked, and consider what a mark can tell us when it turns up on a student essay, a manuscript figure, or a medical image - and perhaps more importantly, what it cannot tell us.

The Patient the Model Invents: What Simulated Encounters Can Get Wrong
If a learner rehearses a difficult conversation with an AI, what exactly are they practising against? A listener asked, and the answer runs through two layers of embedded value: the persona an educator or student writes, and the model generating everything underneath it. This episode covers what the survey evidence shows about that second layer, why the stakes rise sharply as an encounter becomes more values-laden, and the case for teaching learners to correct for the bias rather than avoid the tools.
