Join us for a captivating discussion with Lawrence Krauss as we delve into the realms of artificial intelligence, AGI, and the profound implications for humanity. Lawrence Krauss, renowned for his extensive work in cosmology and theoretical physics, shares his insights on the evolving landscape of AI, the emerging discussions on AGI, and the potential impact of vastly higher intelligence on our existence. Discover more about the fascinating dialogue on the intersection of science and culture in this thought-provoking conversation.

Join Noah and Marty as they delve deep into the immense conceptual and computational difficulties involved in ensuring advanced AI remains aligned with human ethics and values over the long-term. We discuss using "negotiation games" to help align AI systems' goals with human values and interests over time. The idea is to incentivize AI systems to make accurate long-term forecasts that benefit humanity.

Also we touch on paradoxes and intractable complications that plague the approaches and thinking at the foundations of current deployment of AI systems.

Join Noah and Marty as they continue their exploration of the alignment problem by diving into the mathematics underpinning it. In this episode, they discuss the challenges of programming machines to align with specific goals and the complexities of human intention in AI design. From historical perspectives to mathematical considerations, this insightful discussion sheds light on the fundamental issues surrounding AI alignment and the importance of designing AI systems that are beneficial and understandable to humans. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the alignment problem in the realm of artificial intelligence.

Today we discuss how marketing and copywriting is being changed by AI with guest Scott Aaron (https://scottaaron.net/). Learn about the influence of AI tools like Chat GPT on content creation, the evolving role of copywriters, and the second-order effects observed in user responses. Explore Scott's unique approach to leveraging AI while maintaining authenticity and the future implications of AI technology in marketing strategies. Scott reminds us all that having a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset will be absolutely critical as we wade through the AI revolution.

Today we're excited to have Sophie Thompson, the Founder of VirtualSpeech, on the show. VirtualSpeech utilizes virtual reality to help people prepare for situations that might cause social anxiety by, for instance, putting you in front of an audience of 3000 to give a speech. They can also help you train for something new, such as getting you ready to be deposed by lawyers or by immersing you in a foreign language to help you learn it quickly. The implications for education are quite large when you bring AI into the fold to help make living breathing characters to interact with. This may very well be the basis for education in the years to come. Imagine learning math with a virtual tutor right in front of you that meets you where you are in your journey!
