AI Consciousness, Happiness, and Human Nature

In the first part of today's show, we looked at Richard Dawkins concluding that AI may already be conscious, even if it doesn’t know it yet. We discussed what consciousness actually means, whether self-awareness is necessary, and how humanity might react if machines begin to think in ways we recognize as real intelligence. Today's unpopular opinion was: Happiness isn’t something you find, it’s something you are blocking. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: “Name something that stops you from being happy.” The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.
