Sam Harris: I think it's possible to create artificial intelligence in a way that is not aligned with our well-being. He says chat GPT will cancel too many jobs but ultimately we're going to have to integrate something that perfectly passes the Turing test into our working lives. "I can also imagine the possibility that the zoo exists and and Poseidon and all of the other dead gods who are not worried about so yes you're so open mind it's true"

According to neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris, rationality is the key to safeguarding everything we cherish, and its only true enemy is dogmatic inflexibility. Harris speaks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the views that have made Harris famous, teasing out the often mind-blowing subtleties of his religious and cultural critiques. They discuss what Harris has learned as a podcaster and author, and how ecstasy launched his spiritual journey. Finally, they move on to the power of meditation, exploring the way it can lead to self-transcendence and real connection with others.
