In this episode, Kieren and Riku explore whether AI can truly predict the future through time series forecasting. They trace the history of predictions from Haley's comet to Google's GraphCast for weather, and unpack real-world applications like national energy grids and wearable healthcare tech. Along the way, they discuss the risks of random correlations, feedback loops, and the philosophical impact of having a crystal ball on human free will.
