In this episode, Alyson and Breht wrestle with the possible rise
of artificial general intelligence and its implications. Together
they discuss the Silicon Valley Techno-Cult and their dark
religious search for immortality, their hubristic attempts to
"build god" and escape death, their neoliberal subjectivities and
how that manifests in their work, how AI might manifest under the
capitalist mode of production, the horrors and contradictions of
"capitalism without workers", deflationary critiques of AI, humans
as transitional creatures, consciousness and its complexities,
intelligence without consciousness (philosophical zombies),
Nietzchean nihilism, real religion and what it offers, embracing
the inevitability of your own death, and much more!
