Independent technologist and former NPR journalist Dan Blumberg speaks with founders, makers, and you to celebrate breakthroughs, call BS on the hype, explore how things might go sideways — and how we can steer the future in the right direction. On Tuesdays, we interview the builders changing how we work, live, and play. On FAFO Fridays, futurist Kwaku Aning joins Dan for a playful recap of the week in tech, including the amazing, the scary, and the strange. You’ll also hear about innovations that too often get overshadowed by AI, including in deep tech, biotech, fintech, quantum computing, robotics, blockchain, and more. Across it all, you’ll hear sharp takes on what comes next and what builders need to know now. So let’s Future Around & Find Out together! https://www.FutureAround.com","last_synced_at":"2026-06-14T08:21:54.976983+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/future-around-find-out-5737933"},"episode":{"title":"\"Nice Model You Got There — Shame If Something Happened to It\" | FAFO Friday","slug":"nice-model-you-got-there-shame-if-something-happened-to-it-fafo-friday","published_at":"2026-05-09T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/future-around-find-out-5737933/nice-model-you-got-there-shame-if-something-happened-to-it-fafo-friday","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/future-around-find-out-5737933","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/611b4521","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/611b4521/9dd6cca5.mp3","summary":"The Trump administration suddenly wants to review AI models before they ship. Anthropic just inked a massive compute deal with Elon Musk, who then posted that he \"reserves the right\" to pull the plug if he decides their AI is \"harming humanity” (he’s one to know!). On the latest FAFO Friday, Kwaku and I get into why the Trump administration appears to be about to reintroduce the same (weak) AI oversight that Biden implemented. Is this really about safety or a way to gain leverage over Big AI? Plus, robots! The founder of Roomba is back with a new, fuzzy, home companion robot and his approach (not humanoid! build robots with EQ!) is very aligned with this week's interview with roboticist/dancer Catie Cuan.
