Show Notes

Following reports that a Google engineer believes that Google has developed a sentient AI, James Keys, Tunde Ogunlana, and Robert Buschel (author of the novel "God's Ponzi") discuss the idea of sentience in machines and how the increasingly advancing artificial intelligence in our technology could change society for better and/or worse (01:42).  The guys also react to recent claims by some scientists that they are close to being able to de-age our bodies (45:37).
