The Ethics of AI in Warfare and Society's Fear of Advanced Intelligence

Former Google Engineer Blake Lemoine made international headlines for both his public comments about the consciousness of the Google AI project LaMDA and the corporation’s moral responsibly around creating sentient entities and his subsequent dismissal from the company. What many don’t know is Blake has a long time interest and active engagement with Gnosticism and esoteric philosophy so we got him on the pod to talk about the intersections between AI, consciousness, and Gnosticism. Oh, also we find out if robots are going to kill us all Terminator 2 style.
