Description

Lionel goes deep into the frightening reality of artificial general intelligence, explaining how super intelligent systems, massive data centers, and transhuman upgrades could erase jobs, reshape human identity, and even challenge the idea of a soul. He links AGI to cloning ethics, cyber warfare, sensory machines, and the merging of humans with technology. Callers jump in with stories about NSA bunkers, classic sci fi warnings, and the growing power demands of AI. Lionel also breaks down the parietal lobe, the part of the brain that tells us we exist in a body and a moment, and asks what happens when machines begin to imitate consciousness itself.
