in this episode Andrew and I talk about torturing LLMs, among other things. do they have personhood? are they immortal? do i care? maybe we shouldn't think of them as people, but rather as master roleplayers.

what will a computer look like in 10 years? i sat down with Tyler Alterman to talk about it. topics we cover: how to build a spatial computer you could use in central park, the memetics of computer adoption, cyborg, neo-animist, butlerian, and Ready Player One futures of computing. thanks to the Fractal Tech Hub for providing us with the space and equipment to record this podcast.
