    Donald Trump declares the war will be over soon and rambles violently in the process. Again. But should we take this seriously or is this just another wild claim? Plus: ‘bimbofication’, yes we’re not sure either, Keir Starmer calls for closer EU ties and Artemis 2 launches.

  • The Man who Built God – Meet the Oppenheimer of artificial superintelligence

    The Man who Built God – Meet the Oppenheimer of artificial superintelligence
    Apr 2 2026
    The creation of Artificial General Intelligence could be the greatest gamble mankind has ever undertaken. And one of its unlikely prime movers is a working class north Londoner and chess prodigy, the son of immigrant parents, who founded the groundbreaking company DeepMind to create machine superintelligence – a goal which if achieved could transform or destroy our world. Unlike the Altmans and the Musks, Demis Hassabis has the decency to fear what he is creating. The story of this 21st Century Oppenheimer is told in The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind and the Quest for Superintelligence. Author Sebastian Mallaby talks to Emma Kennedy about Hassabis’s journey and where it could take us. • Buy The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind and the Quest for Superintelligence through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

  • It’s P.C. gone mad – 50 years of Apple Computer

    It’s P.C. gone mad – 50 years of Apple Computer
    Apr 1 2026
    The Golden Apple… From the boxy, upstart Apple II computer to the world-changing iPod and iPhone and beyond, Apple Inc. has shaped both the digital world and our own reality since it was founded on 1 April, 1976. Steve Jobs and creators like Jony Ive brought sleek consumer design to the masses, saved the music business, and created the app industry – but Apple has also grown into a corporate behemoth which kowtows to Trump. On Apple’s 50th birthday, tech journalist Craig Grannell talks to Alex von Tunzelmann about how it became the world’s most valuable brand… the disasters that happened along the way… and whether Apple can survive the age of A.I. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex von Tunzelmann.
