Joscha Bach and Jim start by talking about the difference between mind & brain, and the body & environment’s connection to mind & emotions. Joscha then offers his views on some popular consciousness theories & thinkers: consciousness as frequency, Global Workspace Theory, Integrated Information Theory, Functionalism, Daniel Dennet, and Roger Penrose. While covering these theories & thinkers they talk about GPT-3, learning & memory, what it means to understand, intuitive vs analytical intelligence, dreaming vs reality, attention & agents, psychedelics, magical phenomena, areas worth exploring to improve AI, and much more.
My favorite guest by far
I wonder when Bach escaped from Area 51..
I wish he had addressed your point of instrument probing. It seems to me it refutes his "we don't know anything" lines of thought.
Legend!
Joscha Bach is so smart can't get enough of him!
I think Jim is an excellent interviewer for a guest like Joscha
