AI head-to-head with Lex Fridman and Dr. Jeff Long over NDE science.
In Skeptiko 632, we explore the AI feedback loop and how some pretty simple advancements in AI prompt engineering have increased our ability to squeeze the truth out of LLMs. In a not-so-roundabout way, this discussion about AI truth and related thrashing around AI ethics and super AGI come down to “nature of consciousness” questions. So that’s what we revisited.
I had the AI/LLM Pi face off with Lex Fridman and some of the AI luminaries he has interviewed on the topic. As you will see, Pi did a deep dive into some critical logical fallacies. The debate became lopsided when Dr. Jeffrey Long entered the conversation with a discussion about near-death experience science. Pi’s “thinking” showed how these dismissed-as-philosophical issues offer real empirical evidence that must be considered if we’re serious about the future of AI sentience.
