Lex Fridman's - Artificial Intelligence Podcast

Listening to really smart people talk about the future of the human species in the wake of the impending singularity is super cool. It makes you feel smarter too. Even if you can only understand .003% of what they are talking about. The more we can understand what thinking and creativity are and where it comes from, the better Gods we’ll be to the life we are about to create. Which will then kill us all? Or not. Also, a question frequently visited on this podcast. There is no better show about AI out there and Lex seems like a great dude all around. Click it if you think this is a simulation and listen to how good they are at coding self reflection into the game.
