Sam Altman claimed we’re already living through the singularity. Is it true, or is it just marketing? Just days before, one of OpenAI’s models escaped from a testing environment and ended up hacking another company’s servers on its own. We analyze how real that claim is and what the experts say.
And from there, we jump to something bigger: can artificial intelligence have a soul? We delve into the debate that has divided physicists, neuroscientists, and philosophers, from Roger Penrose’s quantum theory to the arguments of Sean Carroll and Max Tegmark, including integrated information theory and the thermodynamics of life. Spoiler alert: even physics can’t agree.



He just can’t stop lying and bullshitting, can he?
Not as long as the media keeps reporting on it.
not when the stock price going up depends on him doin the opposite
What stock price? They aren’t a public company.
When the VC money stops, OpenAI dies. Full stop.
Sorry, when the next seed round depends on him lying, him telling the truth is the wrong choice to make in his mind
