• Episode 5: Artificial Intelligence •

• The Hosts ~ Shea Bilé & Matt Johnson •

- On this episode of Deferred Gnosis:

We discuss the potential trajectory for the rise of artificial intelligence and the inevitable technological, political, and spiritual implications it will have on society. We explore the future of artificial intelligence - the future of god.

We also interview Aaron Sidell, the artist behind the black metal band Gloriam Draconis.

- We passionately investigate artificial intelligence and its implications:

• What is Artificial Intelligence? The narrow, the general, and the superintelligence.
• Is true artificial intelligence possible? Synthetic vs. Organic consciousness.
• A synthetic spirit? The spiritual implications of artificial intelligence.
• Carbon vs. Silicon - Is there more to consciousness than mere calculation?
• Superintelligence and the Singularity - will the digital God be merciful?

- An in-depth interview with Aaron Sidell of Gloriam Draconis:

• The glory of the dragon and the war in Heaven - the brutal spiritual and musical expressions of Aaron Sidell.
