David Chalmers, one of the most preeminent philosophers and researchers in cognitive science, argues that nothing prevents machines from becoming truly conscious. Chalmers, who has studied the mind for decades, points out that there is a real possibility of AI creating a next stage of intelligence that is even capable of redesigning itself. He joins WITHpod to discuss what consciousness is and the possibility of AI systems becoming fully conscious.

Is AI the biggest scam of our generation — or the most misunderstood technology in history? Cognitive scientist Gary Marcus has been studying artificial intelligence for over 30 years, and what he has to say will make you question everything you thought you knew about ChatGPT, AGI, and the trillion dollar AI gold rush.In this episode of SparX, we are talking with Gary Marcus – professor, author, and one of the most respected and fiercely independent voices in AI research – about why the promises being made by Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk may be leading the global economy toward a catastrophic miscalculation.

Matthew O. Jackson is perhaps the world's most renowned scholar of the economics of networks; as a 2005-06 CASBS fellow, he wrote most of his still-influential book Social and Economic Networks. In this wide-ranging conversation with 2025-26 CASBS fellow Rajiv Sethi, Jackson discusses his foundational work on strategic modeling of networks, empirical applications on the role of economic connectedness in influencing people's life trajectories in the U.S., related multi-disciplinary and cross-national work he is undertaking at the Santa Fe Institute, and recent cutting-edge work using large language models to gain insights into human motivations and behaviors.

Welcome back to Scaling Theory. In this episode, I speak with Matthew O. Jackson, the William D. Eberle Professor of Economics at Stanford University and an external faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute. Matthew is one of the founders of the modern economics of networks and the author of The Human Network and Social and Economic Networks.We talk about the friendship paradox, why homophily slows how fast a society learns the truth but helps niche ideas catch fire, and the gossip study where villagers in southern India proved remarkably good at naming the most central spreaders in their community. We then turn to AI agents as a different species: Turing tests on LLMs, the steerability of agent personas through system prompts, and what to make of Moltbook, the social network for AI agents.By the end, you will know why telling students how much their peers actually drink reduces binge drinking more than warning them about the dangers of alcohol, why the same network can spread a virus quickly and a belief slowly, and why AI agents change their behavior when asked to explain it.Papers and works referenced in the conversationBooksThe Human Network: How Your Social Position Determines Your Power, Beliefs, and Behaviors — Matthew O.

Noam and Jen make fun of Richard Dawkins finding God in the machine. Ok, not God, but Claude(ia). This kicks off a rambling discussion of AI, consciousness, the Turing Test, if AI is the doom of all humanity, Sam Altman's house getting firebombed, people being way too het up over data centers, water usage for golfing courses and water features in shopping malls, and how Skynet will still send robots and it will probably be the Pentagon's fault.  On the Iran front, we discuss if it is still a front and what exactly the US Navy's role will be in guiding ships through said front. Meanwhile, the Trump administration fumbles around for a reason why they don't need to ask Congress to declare war. Nobody really knows what's going on still, but Iran seems perfectly happy to continue on as things are right now even though they are hurting financially. Speaking of Middle East financial news, the UAE is leaving OPEC and moving towards a formal relationship with Israel. As always, the Middle East is going through some changes.  For our What Are We Consuming, Noam has made it to season 3 of Euphoria and has a theory about how this season is one big subversive joke on conservative values. Jen just rambles on about Euphoria reaction videos, anime, and going shopping at yet another new Japanese life store in the DMV. 

In this episode we conclude our  series about Metaphysics and modern AI, we explore the definitions of consciousness, reasoning, and thinking to understand if AI possesses these traits. From examining legal accountability and the concept of personhood to analyzing human cognitive frameworks, we map out the differences between actual contemplative problem-solving and probabilistic pattern recognition. The episode covers: Defining consciousness, reasoning, and what it means to be a "thinking thing"The Turing Test as a low bar and why natural language capabilities create the illusion of intelligenceAccountability and agency: Why AI models like Claude are not legally recognized as personsDaniel Kahneman's System 1 (fast heuristics) vs. System 2 (contemplative reasoning) thinkingWhy LLMs function primarily as System 1 pattern recognizers rather than true reasonersComplex systems, Descartes' dualism, and whether thinking is an emergent property requiring a physical bodyHow chatbots use psychological mirroring, filler words, and pauses to trick human biasesThe dangers of anthropomorphizing AI driven by fear of change or financial incentivesThis is the final episode in our metaphysics and AI series.

Episode: 3247 Proust, Turing, and the Measure of Humanity.  Today, we go from Turing to Proust.

In 2001, Black & White asked a question that most games still don't bother asking. What kind of god would you be? Developed by Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios over three years, built on some of the most ambitious artificial intelligence ever attempted in a commercial video game, and released on March 27th, 2001, it was a game where your choices shaped the world, your creature learned from watching you, and the land itself kept score. In this episode, we trace the accidental career of Peter Molyneux — from a wrong number that launched Bullfrog, to a drunken email that founded Lionhead — and explore how twelve years of god games finally led to the one he always wanted to make. We look at the wizard concept that became a god game, the AI that tried to pass the Turing Test, the creature that tried to eat itself at MIT, and the development chaos of two million lines of code, three thousand bugs, and a Christmas party canceled on December 26th. We also reckon honestly with what Black & White got right, what it got wrong, and why a community of developers is still rebuilding it from scratch twenty-five years later. Join us as we stretch out our hand and ask the question on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Are we living in a computer simulation? What once sounded like science fiction is now a serious conversation happening at the intersection of quantum physics, artificial intelligence, and the nature of consciousness. In this episode, Dr. JC Doornick sits down once again with MIT-educated computer scientist, entrepreneur, and author of The Simulation Hypothesis, Rizwan Virk. Together they explore one of the most provocative questions of our time: is reality truly fundamental—or is it more like a rendered environment generated by deeper layers of information? Rather than treating simulation theory as sensational speculation, Riz brings a disciplined and thoughtful approach that bridges modern science, ancient philosophy, and emerging technology. The conversation moves beyond the basics of simulation theory into deeper territory—examining consciousness as a potential user interface for reality, the difference between living like a Player versus an NPC, and how artificial intelligence may be accelerating humanity toward what some call the “Simulation Point.” Along the way, Dr. JC introduces a fascinating perspective from quantum physics—the Higgs Field—suggesting that even the space between objects is alive with energy, a kind of hidden dancer giving matter its appearance. If everything we experience is patterned energy at different densities, what does that mean for our attempt to understand reality itself? Most importantly, the conversation tackles the question that matters most to everyday life: if this is a simulation, does our suffering, purpose, and joy still matter? Whether you're curious about simulation theory, fascinated by consciousness, or simply wondering what it means to truly be present in your own life, this episode invites you to explore the possibility that reality may be far stranger—and more meaningful—than we ever imagined.   Connect with Rizwan Virk: Website - / https://www.zenentrepreneur.com  IG - / @RIZCAMBRIDGE X - / @RIZSTAMFORD   Dr. JC Doornick Links: Website - www.makessensebook.com YT -    / @drjcdoornick IG -   / @drjcdoornick FB -   / @makessensepodcast Makes Sense Book - https://tinyurl.com/makessensepurchase MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast.

Now, ID The Future listeners will get to enjoy a new episode each month (as well as a bingecast archive episode) from our sister podcast Mind Matters News, a production of the Discovery Institute's Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. The Mind Matters News podcast brings you interviews and insight from computer scientists, engineers, inventors, neurosurgeons, and other experts who bring sanity to the conversation about natural and artificial intelligence, going beyond the hype to explore the undercurrents of these important ideas. And although the Mind Matters News podcast will not often explicitly discuss intelligent design, it regularly explores the nature of intelligence, the origin of information, and the things that make us uniquely human, concepts that are central to the theory of intelligent design. On this episode, host Robert J. Marks sits down with Dr. Giorgios Mappouras for a deep dive into the philosophical and technical boundaries that define the gap between human minds and silicon machines. The pair look at why the classic Turing Test is no longer a sufficient measure of machine intelligence in the age of large language models. While modern AI can convincingly imitate human conversation, Mappouras argues that true intelligence requires the ability to do more than just mimic data; it must reach what he calls a General Intelligence Threshold. In this episode, they explore Giorgio's proposal for a Turing Test 2.0, a more rigorous framework that evaluates whether an AI can actually extract new, applicable knowledge—what Mappouras calls "functional information"—from the raw data it is given.

Welcome to our first episode of 2026. In this heavy-hitting season opener, hosts Dan and Ray are joined by Dr. Mark Bassett, Academic Lead for AI at Charles Sturt University and a "superhero" of AI activism. Mark's an ally in our long standing mantra on the podcast, as we know you've got tired of hearing just Dan and Ray say "AI detectors don't work". Dr. Bassett breaks down his landmark paper, "Heads We Win, Tails You Lose: AI Detectors in Education" which we describe (hopefully) as the final 'silver nail in the coffin' for detection software. We move past the surface-level "they don't work" argument and dive into the legal, ethical, and systemic risks universities face by relying on "black box" algorithms. Mark compares current AI detection to using a deck of tarot cards to determine a student's future - arguing that these tools have no place in a fair academic integrity process. We also explore the S.E.C.U.R.E. framework, a tool-agnostic approach to integrating AI into education safely. If you're an educator, student, or leader wondering how to move from suspicion to capability-building, this is the blueprint you've been waiting for.

This episode is brought to you by Basecamp, the world's simplest, most effective project management platform. Check them out at https://basecamp.com and tell them David Perell sent you. Fareed Zakaria is one of the world's leading journalists. Maybe you've seen him on CNN. Maybe you've read his books. Or maybe you've read his articles in the Washington Post. This conversation is a university-level seminar in the craft of writing, which builds upon the thousands of articles Fareed's written over his career. It's a guidepost for anybody who wants to write non-fiction. How do you develop expertise? How should you structure your days? What kinds of deadlines should you set? We also talked about how The Great Gatsby shaped his perspective on America, when to rely on anecdotes vs. data, and the skills that'll remain scarce as AI breaks through the Turing Test and becomes a hyper-competent writer. The through-line of Fareed's work is a philosophy of purposeful practice: watching all his TV performances to see how he can improve, reading great writing to absorb what excellence looks like, and using the deadlines of TV and newspaper columns to write consistently.

It's become increasingly clear that the Turing Test -- determining whether human interlocutors can tell whether a conversation is being carried out by a human or a machine -- is not a good way to think about consciousness. Modern LLMs can mimic human conversation with extraordinary verisimilitude, but most people would not judge them to be conscious. What would it take? Is it even possible for a computer program to achieve consciousness, or must consciousness be fundamentally "meat-based"? Philosopher Ned Block has long argued that consciousness involves something more than simply the "functional" aspects of inputs and outputs.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2026/01/05/339-ned-block-on-whether-consciousness-requires-biology/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Ned Block received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard University. He is currently Silver Professor in the Department of Philosophy at New York University, with secondary appointments in Psychology and Neural Science.

What can insights from the psychology of technology teach us about wisdom in the age of AI? In this special follow-up episode, Igor and Charles are joined by Steve Rathje to explore how classic ideas like the Turing Test hold up now that AI can talk compellingly about human wisdom. Steve unpacks what today's generative models are actually capable of, Igor is intrigued by how quickly the line between human and machine reasoning seems to be blurring, and Charles realises that telling human insight from machine insight isn't nearly as straightforward as he'd hoped. The trio also reveal the results of our listener poll — who sounded the wisest, and was the audience able to spot the AI? Welcome to Episode 67. Special Guest: Steve Rathje.

What happens when we ask our own fantastic listeners — and AI — what it means to live wisely? In this episode, Igor and Charles hand the mic to members of the On Wisdom audience to hear their answers to the big questions usually reserved for scientists and philosophers. But there's a twist: one set of responses was provided by AI. We invite you to vote on who gave the wisest answers — and to guess which one wasn't human. Igor is surprised by just how insightful the answers from the regular folk (compared to experts) turn out to be, while Charles wonders if the wisest one may not be human at all? Can you pass the Wisdom Turing Test? Welcome to Episode 66.

From the BBC World Service: Some European Union countries have backed plans for the new defense system to keep out unmanned aircraft from Russia. But how will it work, and what's the price tag? In France hundreds of thousands of workers have walked out over looming budget cuts and pension reforms. Today marks the 75th anniversary of The Turing Test, to tell the difference between a human and a machine. And we hear how Chilean businesses are adapting — or not — to an ageing workforce.

Can phenomenology, the study of lived experience, be rigorously formalized in mathematics without losing its essence?In this episode of Mind-Body Solution, I speak with Professor Robert Prentner, a philosopher and interdisciplinary scientist exploring the intersections of consciousness, AI, phenomenology, and mathematics. Prentner develops the Interface Consciousness Lab, where concepts from category theory, topology, and networks are used to model experience, while also testing these ideas through AI systems and artificial phenomenology. His work bridges philosophy and computation, reimagining how agents construct reality.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) - Introduction: Robert Prentner on interfaces, phenomenology & consciousness (01:00) - From Hoffman to Prentner: extending the Interface Theory of Perception (03:14) - Why neuroscience alone can't solve the mind-body problem (05:42) - Physicalism fails: why consciousness must be taken as fundamental (08:15) - What is an "interface"?

On this episode of Mind Matters News, host Robert J. Marks continues his conversation with Dr. Georgios Mappouras about his new and interesting paper “Turing Test 2.0: The General Intelligence Threshold.” The idea is whether or not AI is intelligent, and the classical definitions of this come from the Turing Test. In Part 1 of this conversation, Dr. Mappouras explained Read More › Source

Sam Harris speaks with Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares about their new book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: The Case Against Superintelligent AI. They discuss the alignment problem, ChatGPT and recent advances in AI, the Turing Test, the possibility of AI developing survival instincts, hallucinations and deception in LLMs, why many prominent voices in tech remain skeptical of the dangers of superintelligent AI, the timeline for superintelligence, real-world consequences of current AI systems, the imaginary line between the internet and reality, why Eliezer and Nate believe superintelligent AI would necessarily end humanity, how we might avoid an AI-driven catastrophe, the Fermi paradox, and other topics.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with returning guest Brian Ahuja to explore a thought-provoking idea he's been stewing on—could we one day build a robot capable of true partner dancing? From the biomechanics of salsa to the possibilities of AI embodiment, we unpack what it would take to engineer fluid, responsive movement and how that intersects with everything from artificial muscles to the intimacy of tactile feedback. We also touch on Brian's long-term vision for a potential lab or foundation to tackle this challenge. You can follow Brian and future developments on Twitter @brianahuja.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Brian Ahuja returns to discuss AI embodiment, sparked by his experience in ballroom dance and curiosity about translating physical intelligence into robotics.05:00 – They explore robotics in partner dancing, touching on the difference between choreographed motion and improvisational, responsive movement.10:00 – Brian breaks down human biomechanics, emphasizing that hip motion in dances like salsa originates from knees and feet—not the hips directly.15:00 – The conversation shifts to balance, proprioception, and ocular reflexes, linking them to movement stability in dance.20:00 – They compare robot vs. human movement, noting robots' jerky motions and the absence of muscle-based initiation.25:00 – The need for haptic feedback is discussed, with Brian detailing how partner dancing depends on tactile signals and real-time response.30:00 – They touch on robotic form factors, questioning whether humanoid robots are the best approach and pondering the design of artificial muscles.35:00 – Brian proposes the idea of the Ahuja Test, gauging if a robot can move so fluidly it's indistinguishable from a human, using dance as the standard.Key InsightsPartner Dancing as a Frontier for Robotics: Brian Ahuja proposes that partner dancing could be a benchmark for robotic embodiment, where success would indicate a robot's ability to replicate fluid, responsive human movement. This task is far more complex than solo choreography—it requires real-time tactile feedback, improvisation, and nuanced physical communication.Movement Origin in Humans vs. Robots: A critical difference lies in how movement is generated. Human motion begins with muscle contraction, not at the joints. Robots, however, typically initiate movement at joint points, missing the layered interplay of muscles, tendons, and fascia that create smooth, lifelike motion.Haptic Feedback and Improvisation: Real partner dancing involves subtle cues, like pressure through fingertips, to signal direction and timing. For a robot to follow or lead a dance, it would need a highly sensitive haptic feedback system capable of interpreting and responding to these nonverbal signals in real time.The Limits of Current Robotics: Even with advanced robots like the Tesla bot, current movement still appears jerky and lacks the fluidity needed for partner dancing. The mechanical design—especially the lack of artificial musculature—may impose fundamental limits on how closely robots can mimic human motion.Applications Beyond Dance: The implications of this inquiry stretch beyond dance into fields like physical therapy, elder care, and domestic robotics. A robot that could move like a human could handle tasks requiring adaptability, precision, and physical sensitivity.Vision and Systems Thinking: Brian frames the challenge as a systems problem that might start with a lab or foundation. He emphasizes not needing to do everything alone, recognizing the value of building knowledge iteratively through conversations, research, and community.The Ahuja Test: Inspired by the Turing Test, Brian coins the idea of the “Ahuja Test”—a way to measure if a robot can move indistinguishably from a human. He suggests partner dancing could serve as the ultimate proving ground for such a test, given its demand for embodied intelligence and nuanced coordination.
