Episode notes

i fully expect this is going to be a very difficult social, legal issue, and suddenly philosophy is going to become very relevant to the pressing questions of the day. i often feel that people are too credulous about what a i is capable ofand their fears are a founded in not understanding what's actually going on. I don't know, when this eventually happens, i don't know how it's going to play out. But philosophically, i think there's a right answer.

We spend more time in digital, virtual spaces than ever. But are those places really real? If they are, does that mean we could be living in virtual reality right now? Or does it even make sense to ask such a question? Philosopher David Chalmers joins Adam to talk about consciousness, the nature of reality, and the limits of digital technology.
