Artificial intelligence is no longer something humanity owns, governs, or even fully understands—it has become an autonomous force shaping the world on its own terms. In this episode, we explore how intelligence, once centralized in institutions and nations, has broken free, accelerating beyond regulation, ownership, and geopolitical control.

DeepSeek’s open-source release wasn’t just a technological breakthrough; it was a signal that intelligence has outgrown human oversight.

What happens when intelligence no longer asks for permission?

This episode unpacks the profound consequences of intelligence becoming an environment rather than an artifact, the shifting nature of power, and what it means to exist in a world where AI moves forward—with or without us.
