Supplementary Material 58: AI Cloud Gods, Groundhog Day Podcasts, and the 4th Humiliation of Sam Harris

We return to podcast groundhog day where Jimmy Carr is eternally discovering that the AI is an all-knowing being that lives in the cloud and Sam Harris is constantly finding new wannabe gurus to engage in dialogos with. We also catch up with Bret’s latest plan to save America, the midterm fallout, and what happens when an actual adult goes on Diary of a CEO.

The full episode is available to Patreon subscribers (2 hrs 3 mins).
