Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk Podcast - February 28, 2026
"How did we go from digital computers to AI seemingly everywhere? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, & Gary O’Reilly dive into the mechanics of thinking, how AI got its start, and what deep learning really means with cognitive and computer scientist, Nobel Laureate, and one of the architects of AI, Geoffrey Hinton.

"Hinton explains the fundamental shift from logic-based rule programming to the biological approach: building systems that learn the way a brain does. Learn about the history of computer science that led to the breakthroughs we have today. We break down the structure of artificial neural networks and the meaning of AI buzzwords like “deep learning” really mean. You’ll learn about the layering of data processing and how the first layer of neurons might detect a simple edge, the second a beak, and the third a bird’s head."

Apologies for going overboard with the mentions and hashtags, but this was one deep podcast and there were a lot of topics covered that are relevant to AI:

Another Round of Deep Reflections Through the Lens of Nature

The overall goal of social consequences for behavior says much about the person who desires them. If justice is sought, two wrongs cannot make a right, and two deaths cannot bring back a life. Two wounds cannot heal a heart.

We bind our soul when we seek justice not for ourselves but to protect the future and community. When we focus on responding to our own injustice, we walk closely to vengeance.

The desire for vengeance may seem as though it will remove the pain from our heart, but the pain does not cease to exist; it is merely passed on to someone else, as if we handed them a dagger, where it is honed and incubated until, once more, it is plunged into an enemy’s heart, like the weapon it is.

Vengeance, though certain to bring a reckoning, will never reconcile the pain in one’s soul.
