Noz Urbina joins Larry Swanson to explore a critical question: as AI becomes universal, how will we distinguish real from synthetic? Their discussion delves into Truth Collapse - the AI-accelerated metacrisis that could make or break the world. They examine the challenges facing our institutions, cultures, and individual stability when both simple and sophisticated AIs become an integral part of daily life, and what this means for our collective future.   What you'll learn: The importance of humility and understanding our vulnerabilities to predict and prepare for the future. The psychological manipulation techniques used by tech companies, such as Skinner boxes and addictive design. The role of AI in cultural participation and the associated risks. The potential dangers of AI in terms of emotional manipulation and truth collapse. Legislative measures that could mitigate the negative impacts of AI.
