Season 7, Episode 8 - Touching holograms, DNA robots, and liquid batteries
<p>Without sounding too many alarm bells, we now have a study showing LLMs collaborating with one another to outwit their guardrails. Depending which side of the fence you stand on, this could be a miracle, or something much more sinister. </p><p>Besides that, we cover everything from building DNA nanobots inside our cells, AI-powered IVF (3 guesses the dystopia these topics might lead to…), fluid non-metallic batteries that can take any shape, being able to touch and manipulate 3d holograms, and so much more.</p><p>Enjoy.</p><p>Sean’s links:</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://cockrell.utexas.edu/news/archive/10158-from-scraps-to-sips-everyday-biomass-produces-drinking-water-from-thin-air">Using food scraps and seashells to pull water from desert air</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.07831v1">LLMs collaborating to fool oversight systems</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.genengnews.com/topics/artificial-intelligence/first-infant-conceived-and-born-using-fully-automated-intracytoplasmic-sperm-injection-system/">World first IVF baby conceived via AI-supported systems</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/renewables-fossil-fuels-us-grid">US renewables exceeding other forms of power for the first time</a></p><p>Ben’s links:</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.science.org/content/article/dire-wolf-back-dead-not-exactly">Debunking all that dire wolf resurrection “news”</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://scitechdaily.com/dna-circuits-come-alive-scientists-build-molecular-robots-inside-living-cells/">Building molecular robots inside cells</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://scitechdaily.com/the-crystal-that-wasnt-supposed-to-exist-now-its-reinventing-3d-printed-metal/">“the crystal that wasn’t supposed to exist”: 3d-printing metal quasicrystals</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://techxplore.com/news/2025-04-fluid-battery.html">Fluid batteries that can take any shape</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.livescience.com/technology/virtual-reality/in-a-first-breakthrough-3d-holograms-can-be-be-touched-grabbed-and-poked">Touching 3d holograms</a></p><p><p>If you enjoyed this, subscribe for free to receive new episodes right to your inbox</p></p><p>Otherwise, you can find Promise on your favorite podcast platforms:</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/redirect/a84ad4f5-bda1-4c28-8d01-d4968e55de19?j=eyJ1IjoicXl2ZzIifQ.9hivVxCTSDfj2an1P7rdIgOA3j4gkQef3Ycs6H8WbPU">Spotify</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/redirect/edb92eea-d626-45ae-a4b9-999bdde94415?j=eyJ1IjoicXl2ZzIifQ.9hivVxCTSDfj2an1P7rdIgOA3j4gkQef3Ycs6H8WbPU">Apple Podcasts</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Season 7, Episode 7 - From mousepad to... MouthPad^?
<p>A recent survey stated 75% of scientists want to leave the US. We look into what the knock on effects might be both for better and worse. Who benefits, and how do science and tech evolve as a result? </p><p>Beyond that, we prompt questions like… Could predicting a heart attack end up causing one? Could the prestige of being a doctor drop as AI takes hold? Could we unleash a pandemic with fungal-based packaging?
