Hosts Jeremy Grater — a radio broadcaster with a nose for the story behind the story — and Jason Haworth — a technologist and ethical hacker who's seen behind the curtain — break down AI developments, automation, machine learning, and tech ethics without the hype or the hand-wringing. Think sharp analysis, honest conversation, and just enough sarcasm to keep it interesting. New episodes every week.

Most conversations about AI focus on the software. This one is about the hardware. A proposed 9-gigawatt data center in Utah would dump heat equivalent to 23 nuclear bombs into a bowl-shaped valley every single day — running on gas generators, not the local grid. Meanwhile, NVIDIA’s CEO is telling computer science graduates the real winners of the AI economy will be plumbers and electricians. Surgeons are operating with haptic robotic hands from across the country. Rivian is replacing your car’s command line with a mood-reader. And Meta has built a digital twin of your brain that predicts your neural activity at 70 times the resolution of anything we’ve seen. Key Moments 0:00 — The Utah data center: 9 gigawatts, gas generators, and 23 nuclear bombs of daily heat in a bowl-shaped valley 1:41 — Why they’re not using the local power grid — and Jason’s prediction about small nuclear reactors 4:37 — NVIDIA’s CEO tells CS grads the real winners are tradespeople — smoke screen or signal? 5:31 — Jason on why the ‘plumbers are the future’ narrative is a stopgap, not a solution 9:10 — DaVinci 5 robotic surgery: haptic feedback, game tape review, and remote procedures for rural hospitals 11:40 — How AI-reviewed surgical footage changes liability and accelerates learning 13:21 — Rivian retires voice commands for a generative AI mood-reader — and where that gets dark fast 15:55 — Jeremy on ADHD and AI: how automation unlocked what anxiety used to shut down 18:39 — Meta’s brain digital twin: 70x resolution neural prediction, and the unstated advertising implication 24:11 — Northwestern’s printed neurons: when machine-made ci…","meta_description":"In this episode we take five stories that look unrelated and find the one thing they share: AI is building a body, and nobody voted on what it should look…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1926,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/brobots-technology-health-being-a-better-human-6465993/episodes/the-real-price-of-ai-is-being-paid-in-heat-jobs-and-your-privacy/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brobots-technology-health-being-a-better-human-6465993/the-real-price-of-ai-is-being-paid-in-heat-jobs-and-your-privacy.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
