422: We're Already Living in Project Hail Mary

I didn’t expect Project Hail Mary to hit this hard… but it quietly explores something we’re all dealing with right now — how humans and non-humans actually work together. Because whether it’s AI, translation tools, or systems we barely understand… we’re already collaborating with things that don’t think like us. In this episode of NetHeads, we break down why that matters, what it says about the future of AI, and why one fictional alien might explain more about real-world technology than most headlines. If intelligence doesn’t look like us… can we still trust it? Topics Covered: • Human + non-human collaboration • AI communication parallels • Why understanding is greater than control • Future of AI relationships Patreon Supporter of the Week: Mark Lamb Want to hear your name on the show?
