Professional poker player, physicist, and general badass, Liv Boeree, sits down with Bridget for a fascinating conversation about the mind games of poker, where intuition meets math, how game theory shapes everything from philanthropy to AI ethics, and the paradoxes of AI consciousness. They discuss being pathologically competitive, beating the boys at their own games, how everyone’s an egalitarian until they get the power, pig farmers, China, audience capture, the magic of Burning Man, playing to win vs. playing to play, and an outsider’s perspective on understanding how the American culture led to Trump.
