What if everything you know is just a simulation? In 2022, I
was joined by the one and only Nick Bostrom to discuss the
simulation hypothesis and the prospects of superintelligence.
Nick is a Professor at Oxford University, where he heads the Future
of Humanity Institute as its founding director. He is the
most-cited professional philosopher in the world aged 50 or under
and is the author of some 200 publications, including Anthropic
Bias (2002), Global Catastrophic Risks (2008), Human Enhancement
(2009), and Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies (2014), a
New York Times bestseller. With a background in theoretical
physics, computational neuroscience, logic, and artificial
intelligence, there is no one better to answer this question than
him! Tune in. — Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:44
Judging a book by its cover 00:05:22 How could an AI have emotions
and be creative? 00:08:22 How could a computing device / AI feel
pain? 00:13:09 The Turing test 00:20:02 The simulation
hypothesis 00:22:27 Is there a "Drake Equation" for the
simulation hypothesis? 00:27:16 Penroses' orchestrated objective
reality 00:34:11 SETI and the prospect of extraterrestrial
