Episode notes

First segma, were going to talk about tolstoy's memoir, a confession. But before that, we are going to face a different sort of crisis, which is the singularity,. clear sentience of artificial intelligence. And even though we're pretty much convinced that it's already upon us, and that there's nothing we can do, except, like, pour a bunch of money into silicon valley so that they can stop it at the last minute. Second segma: Can you distinguish daniel dennett from a computer?

David and Tamler find themselves unable to attach rational meaning to a single act in their entire lives. Let’s say we publish more articles and books. What then? What about our kids? They’re going off to college. Why? What for? We think about the future of the podcast. Let’s say we get bought out by Spotify and become more famous than Joe Rogan, Dolly Parton, and even Yoel Inbar -- more famous than all the podcasters in the world. So what?

And we can find absolutely no reply.

Plus, we take a test to determine whether we can we tell an AI apart from an analytic philosopher. When should we start getting scared of what AIs are gonna do to us, or what we’re doing to them?

*Note: the main segment is on the first half of Tolstoy’s great memoir "A Confession," but you don’t need to be familiar with the text to appreciate the discussion for this one.
