In this first non-solo episode, I have a (time-delayed) conversation with Dr. Arthur Franz, who is devoting his time to built a 'thinking machine' - a generally intelligent agent that can create deep models of the world. This episode mainly serves a test case for the 'new' podcast format and to introduce Arthur and his way of thinking. Further conversations are planned in the future where we will dive deeper into Artificial General Intelligence and related scientific and philosophical topics. You can visit Arthur's WEBSITE to learn more about his unique approach.
