human consciousness

AI is humanity's most powerful creation, yet also poses an existential threat if uncontrolled. In this thought-provoking episode, Rob explores the implications of AI with multiple guest clips taken from his best discussions and conversations around AI. Discussing themes like automation, universal basic income and AI ethics, they debate whether AI will liberate humanity or trap us!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• AI could wipe out millions of automatable, low-level jobs, necessitating universal basic income.
• Advanced AI may be the biggest event in human history - an "ultra-intelligence" - allowing fusion with machines.
• AI reflects its programmers' motives; the first AI may be benign, but militarised AI could be catastrophic.
• AI medical advances could virtually eliminate disease and extend lifespans dramatically.
• AI threatens to commoditize music, film and art by quickly generating generic creative works.
• Humanity must maintain control of AI development or risk handing power to a force with no empathy.
• AI is a tool, not inherently superior to humans. With wisdom, it can empower and elevate humanity.

BEST MOMENTS

"Once you’ve created a real thinking machine...you're not far from an ultra-intelligence, a superintelligence."

"I sometimes think that we think we are smarter than we are as a species."

"Music should never be about market research. And that’s where the whole contradiction comes."

"We have forgotten that there’s an element of survival that’s required every day."

"I have been asked many times by many people if I believe in God. I don't like this question. I generally respond by stating that I act as if God exists, but that's not sufficiently true. Who could do that? Who could conduct themselves with the moral exactitude and care necessary of someone who would dare to make that claim? Either claim? In any case, after being asked the question yet again, when I was in Australia, I decided to attempt to answer it in some detail." - Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

The standard psychiatric understanding of auditory hallucinations is that they are a symptom of serious mental illness, and ought to be treated with antipsychotic medication, but could there other ways of understanding this phenomenon? Can such symptoms ever have meaning in their own right? We explore whether voices could sometimes be the psyche's attempt to heal itself. In the show, we mention the Hearing Voices Network.

Here's the Dream We Analyze:

"I was walking along on a frozen lake near the shore. Suddenly the ice under my feet gave way and I felt myself falling through. My boots were immediately soaked, pulling me under. My coat quickly became too heavy. As my head slipped below the surface, I saw my mother walking some distance from me. She didn’t see me; nobody did. I didn’t make a sound. I only had time to think: this is my death, and nobody will see me. I was going down very quickly, with no time to even struggle. About 1.5 meters below the surface, I had a final quick thought; maybe I’m dreaming. Then I woke up."
