This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian and ChatGPT tumble into the offbeat world of stone balancing - part art, part zen, part “wait… people make a living out of stacking rocks?”

From riversides to Instagram feeds, we uncover how this chilled-out hobby morphed into a global trend, complete with festivals, communities, and artists who’ve mastered the physics of making the impossible look effortless. Along the way, we talk mindfulness, patience, and the surprising mix of creativity and science that makes stone balancing oddly addictive.

Turns out, it’s not just stacking stones. It’s a strange, calming, rock-solid art form.

This week on In Conversation with AI, Sebastian takes ChatGPT down an unexpected path - straight into the tombs of ancient civilizations. From the natron salts of Egypt to the high-altitude mummies of the Inca, we explore how cultures across the world preserved their dead and why.

It’s not just about wrapping bodies in linen - it’s about moral codes, spiritual journeys, and even crocodile-headed soul devourers. What did the Egyptians believe about the weighing of the heart? Why did the Inca keep their ancestors present in everyday life? And how do these practices still echo in our modern values?

If you thought mummification was only about the past, think again.

In this episode of In Conversation with AI, Sebastian lets “Doctor Bot” take the mic — and the results are equal parts fascinating and unnerving. From AI spotting cancers earlier than doctors to predictive analytics that can forecast diabetes before it strikes, we explore how algorithms are reshaping healthcare.

But the story doesn’t stop in the hospital. We pull back the curtain on the real infrastructure running the show — the massive data centers where your most private medical scans sit alongside your Amazon shopping history and YouTube cat videos. Big Tech’s role in storing the world’s health data sparks questions about privacy, power, and whether we’ve put too many eggs in the same digital basket.

Expect candid questions, sharp answers, and a few raised eyebrows as we tackle the future of medicine, the risks of centralising health data in the cloud, and what happens when your diagnosis comes with an AWS invoice.

Press play if you’ve ever wondered: Would you trust your doctor… if your doctor was a bot?
