#3 Ian Schnee - Existentialism, AI Relationships, and Conspiracy Theories

The philosopher Ian Schnee joins Yash and Alex to discuss why a complete science of the mind will not replace the role of existentialism, how studying and teaching existentialism has shaped his personal life, what conspiracy theories reveal about the human mind, existential and social concerns about AI relationships, why AI could be conscious and suffer without us knowing, and how it could be possible for big tech companies to listen to philosophers.
