The SoapyRao Show Sundeep Rao

It's a friends' reunion! Join our conversation with Computer Scientist, Researcher and long-time pal Michael Timothy Bennett in our latest episode of @thesoapyraoshow.
Michael is a computer scientist with the Australian National University. His research explores intelligence from first principles, blending philosophical arguments, math proofs and experimental results. He presented a unified theory of consciousness, meaning and artificial superintelligence at the 2023 conference on artificial general intelligence, for which he won a best paper award. 
He has also been quoted and published by prominent news organizations including Newsweek, Quillette and The Conversation. 
He was previously co-founder and COO of Eigen Technologies in London and has worked in game development across four continents on well-known franchises including The Sims, Sniper Elite and Total War. His path to research was circuitous, which helped cultivate the breadth of expertise needed for transdisciplinary artificial general intelligence research. He was first admitted to an undergraduate program on the basis of his musical ability, and now holds degrees in music from Queensland Conservatorium, management science from London Business School, and computer science from The Australian National University.

In this week's episode, a soliloquy from our host, Sundeep Rao, on choices. 
The politically-charged term 'choice' has steadily made its way into discourse and the commoners' psyche. How do we navigate the nuances of decision making and the subsequent consequences? How do we choose our beliefs in an increasingly polarized world? These are some of the questions we are asking out loud this week.

On this week's episode, we have the incredible Madhulika Liddle. Madhulika is an author, historian, blogger and film enthusiast. Her first novel The Englishman’s Cameo was launched in October 2009, with a French edition released in 2010 by Editions Philippe Picquier. The Englishman’s Cameo was well received and was followed by The Eighth Guest & Other Muzaffar Jang Mysteries (a collection of short stories), Engraved in Stone, and Crimson City (the latter two novels).
Madhulika has written a range of short stories in different genres. Several of these have won awards (including the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association Awards Short Story Competition, for A Morning Swim, in 2003) or have been selected for anthologies.
Madhulika's non-fiction writing includes travel writing, humor, and writing on classic cinema. Her blog Dusted Off is a compilation of all things beloved and 'old' or, in her own words, "everything dusted off, not just old movies."
