LaMDA, You Autocomplete Me - DTNS 4295 - Extended (Patreon)

Did Google fire a person for defending a sentient AI. Not really but we'll explain why you might have heard that. Plus a car powered with solar panels and do we want free ad-supported books from Spotify? If they're read by a non-sentient AI?

Your Sentiments On Sentients - GDI 4295 starts at 31:28

The AI sentient conversation continues. How close do you think we are to an AI being conscious? Do your pets recognize that a reflection of themselves is not another animal? Have you heard about the Chinese room thought experiment? Lamarr finally understands he is on a show. Can you find love and sentient AI? How does truth work? Have you tried out DALL-E mini?

Starring Tom Merritt, Lamarr Wilson, Roger Chang, Joe, Amos
