TRC #651: LaMDA Sentient? + Is Chlorine Smell From Pee? + 'Reality+' Overview

from The Reality Check

Le Gang is back together at last! We kick off with an interesting discussion about a claim that the Google LaMDA Chatbot has become sentient. Adam investigates whether the smell most people associate with chlorine is due to its reaction with pee. Darren rounds out the show with a look at David Chalmers' book 'Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy', an analysis of our technological future.
