210 - AI with Lorin Thwaits

On today's episode, I'm joined by Friendly.rb speaker Lorin
Thwaits to talk conferences past and future, gauging the
intelligence of ChatGPT and its ability to create novel
solutions, the evolution of intelligence, evolution's effects on
reproduction, AI's potential capacity (or lack thereof) for
power-seeking, the economic and societal impacts of AI, the
amount of interest purely AI-generated content will be able to
command, the power and limits of simulation, machines as
synthetic animals and animals as biological machines, developing
AI via evolutionary processes, the speed limit of evolution, and
Lorin's project the Brick Gem.
