367. Trust, Technology, and the Transfer of Energy: Rob Greenlee's Take on AI

How do you envision the collaboration between super-intelligent AI and humans? What steps should humanity start taking now to prepare for a future where this partnership is a reality?  Why do we see the limited things that we see?  Are the things we actually see, a mirage?

Today's guest Rob Greenlee added to my dad's definition of the meaning of life, a veteran in the world of podcasting and technology. This episode takes us on a journey through the intersections of technology, consciousness, and the future of human interaction with artificial intelligence.

Rob shares his transition from marketing in the Florida citrus industry to becoming a frontrunner in digital media, shedding light on how creating content is more about the energy in the moment than the end product itself.

We'll explore thought-provoking topics such as the potential of artificial general intelligence (AGI), the truth that may lie in the transitions between extremes, and the fascinating concept of our consciousness existing in a wireless ether. Moreover, Rob discusses the philosophical and ethical implications of technology in our lives, questioning the visibility of aliens and the invisibility technologies, and considering the eerie possibility of AI taking over jobs.

Join host Reena Friedman Watts and her father, Wayne Friedman, as they delve into these mind-expanding topics with Rob, reflecting on how these advances might shape our understanding of life, existence, and the unseen forces that govern our world. Don’t miss this intriguing episode that challenges the boundaries of what we believe is possible!
