Episode Synopsis

Between Elon Musk's Neuralink, Amazon's Upload, and the promises of both AI programs like Chat GPT and Google Gemini and investments into virtual reality (Meta), the potential for exchanging the material world for some other kind of existence has never been more clear. But can an alternate reality lead to happiness? Dr. Peter Forrest, Dean of Humanities at Thales College, considers these questions in light of a thought experiment called "The Experience Machine." What kind of pleasure can AI give, and would people choose to live in virtual reality even if they could? Join us and find out!
