ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Ron Steslow and Mike Madrid unpack the suspicious four-day push by some of the biggest AI companies begging to be regulated and why it’s less a safety awakening and more a bid to build a moat around who gets to control this technology.
Then, they turn to an essay by Franciscan sister Ilia Delio’s essay on why our fear of AI is really a fear of confronting what it means to be human.
Read Ilia Delio: “We Will Not Be Killed By Machines. We Will Overthink Ourselves To Death.”
