AI Consciousness, Humanity’s Final Countdown, and Why Cruises Need to Go

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at why people are beginning to mistake AI behaviour for genuine consciousness and what that could mean for the future of human interaction with technology. Then we talked about the Doomsday Clock, who controls it, and why experts believe “the odds are not in our favour” when it comes to humanity’s future. Today’s unpopular opinion was: it’s time to put an end to cruises. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something you expect to see on a cruise.
