The mythology of conscious AI
Essay and talk by Anil Seth
Loud opinions often come with little doubt. Anil Seth is the opposite: one of the leading thinkers on consciousness, and he says when he does not know. His case here is that consciousness probably belongs to living things rather than to computation, so AI is unlikely to become conscious however smart it gets. The article takes 30+ minutes, the TED summary 15.
LISTENING
Flint
Be Svendsen
Be Svendsen has been a favourite for years, cinematic electronica with a desert feel to it. Flint is the perfect ambience for a chill evening. Some of the same vibe as Vi Nå.
PONDERING
No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable.
— Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations (1776)
