The Terrifying Problem Of AI Control - Stuart Russell - #364
28 augustus 2021 · 1 uur 49 min
Stuart Russell is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California and an author. Lees meer
Programming machines to do what we want them to is a challenge. The consequences of getting this wrong become very grave if that machine is superintelligent with essentially limitless resources and no regard for humanity's wellbeing. Stuart literally wrote the textbook on Artificial Intelligence which is now used in hundreds of countries, so hopefully he's got an answer to perhaps the most important question of this century.
Expect to learn how AI systems have already manipulated your preferences to make you more predictable, why social media companies genuinely don't know what their own algorithms are doing, why our reliance on machines can be a weakness, Stuart's better solution for giving machines goals and much more...

The Secrets Of British Airways Flight 149 - Stephen Davis - #359
16 augustus 2021 · 1 uur 8 min
Stephen Davis is an investigative reporter and an author. Lees meer
On August 1st 1990, a British Airways flight departed London for Kuwait, on board were nearly 400 passengers including 9 secret service operatives. They landed in a war zone as Sadam Hussein's army rolled into Kuwait and took them hostage.
For the next 5 months they were used as human shields, and for the last 30 years BA and the UK Government has covered up why they were really there and what happened. Stephen has been investigating this story since it happened and today we get to hear what 30 years of research has uncovered.

Enlightenment, Happiness & Non-Duality - Rupert Spira - #349
24 juli 2021 · 59 min
Rupert Spira a teacher of the Non-Dualism Direct Path, an author and a potter. Lees meer
Non-dualism is a state of consciousness that many contemplative practitioners aim to achieve. A dissolving of a barrier between the observer and the experience, it's incredibly complex but thankfully Rupert is one of the clearest and most direct teachers of non-duality.
Today we tackle some of the biggest questions in enlightenment practice, like what are we at our essence? What is consciousness? What does it mean to say that you are the same person that you were 20 years ago? What are we referring to when we say "I"? What happens if you take away everything that we identify with?

The Problem With Political Correctness - Michael Knowles - #331
7 juni 2021 · 1 uur 27 min
Michael Knowles is a political commentator, podcaster, and an author. Lees meer
Ostensibly, political correctness is the right thing to do if you're a responsible human that is respectful of other people's emotions.

Expect to learn why people who respect free speech may need to restrict free speech, how political correctness lays a trap for everyone, whether Michael thinks we're closer to a Brave New World or 1984, his thoughts on Steven Crowder's situation and much more...
