Joscha Bach is a cognitive scientist who studies how minds, biological and artificial, build a model of reality.We cover: why a perpetual safety device may be as impossible as perpetual motion, what happens when AI research automates itself (Roman puts it at 28 percent today), whether nuclear deterrence is the right analogy, who really benefits when AI labs ask to be regulated, and why consciousness may have nothing to do with whether AI is safe.Being conscious does not make you kind.🏄♂️ Twitter: @plinz🏄♂️ Twitter: @romanyam📬 Get the transcript, fascinating bonus content, and my Monday M.A.G.I.C.
