In this episode from new podcast Emergent Behavior, host @Ate-a-Pi interviews the co-founders of Prophetic AI to learn how they're using AI to facilitate lucid dreaming. Prophetic had come up in the recent Cognitive Revolution conversation with Dean W. Ball about brain computer interfaces, and Nathan had them on the list of companies to invite on the show, so it was really fun to discover that Ate-a-Pi had already done an interview with them right around the same time.
