Episode 26 - ”O Deep Thought”
from 2001: A Space Podyssey Hosted by spacepodyssey
What with the current global A.I. situation and the open letter calling for a "pause" while we examine this "existential threat to humanity" signed by hundreds of the world's preeminent computer scientists, it's easy to feel like Chicken Little and freak out. So we did. But we're also shining a light through the darkness this week and finding hope for humanity and the future. From Descartes to Locke to Kierkegaard, Merleau-Ponty to Heidegger, being a person means different things. But thanks to a little help from Ifeanyi Menkiti, Jonathan Miller and Peter Ustinov, we discover that the key to our future and the cure for the disaffected may be each other.
