552: You've been warned. The promise and peril of Artificial Intelligence
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
The boys drink and review Sunset Eclipse from Dewey Beer then discuss whether artificial intelligence will destroy us.

Despite being warned -- over and over again, in literature and by contemporary experts -- we blithely continue on as if everything is okay. We have no reason to believe this. But don't worry. What could possibly go wrong? Intelligent people have been telling us for centuries that this is a problem. But ... never mind. We are not nearly scared enough.
