In this episode we stand on the precipice staring into a potential abyss of an apocalypse caused by artificial intelligence and wonder if the abyss is staring back. Thankfully some of the world's greatest minds have thought very seriously about this question. Along with the clever people, Chri$tians have also weighed in with their opinions. So that's nice.

This topic should inspire us to ponder the hard problem of consciousness. Will sentience come about as an emergent property of staggering amounts of information fed into a complex substrate of interacting nodes and conduits computing advanced algorithms shaped by brute force machine learning? 

And if that sentience does somehow emerge from technology what are the moral obligations to ourselves and the thinking machines we create? 

We SHOULD be considering these very serious and important existential issues but this is Satan is my Superhero. We’re gonna spend the episode poking fun at backward hillbillies who believe a supernatural space wizard cares deeply about them and their favourite sport team.

Guest appearances from Alan Turing, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Anton LaVey, Elon Musk, Blake Lemoine, LaMDA, Chat GPT, Mike James, Kirk Cameron, Kevin Sorbo, James Cameron, Jada Pinkett Smith, Anthony Levandowski, Donald Trump and Father John Corrigan.
