#392 – Joscha Bach: Life, Intelligence, Consciousness, AI & the Future of Humans

[0] The following is a conversation with Yosha Bach, his third time on this podcast.

[1] Yosha is one of the most brilliant and fascinating minds in the world, exploring the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and computation.

[2] And he's one of my favorite humans to talk to about pretty much anything and everything.

[3] And now, a quick few second mention of his sponsor.

[4] Check them out in the description.

[5] It's the best way to support this podcast.

[6] We got Numeri for the world's hardest data science tournament, eight sleep, for naps, Masterclass for learning and AG1 for health, choose as well as my friends.

[7] Also, if you want to work with our amazing team, we're always hiring, go to Lexfreedman .com slash hiring.

[8] And now, onto the full ad reads.

[9] As always, no ads in the middle.

[10] I try to make this interesting, but if you must skip them, please still check out our sponsors.

[11] I enjoy their stuff.

[12] Maybe you will too.

[13] This show is brought to you by Numerai, a head fund that uses AI and machine learning to make investment decisions.

[14] is basically a super difficult machine learning tournament that uses real data and people's submitted models that try to predict the market.

[15] I love difficult real -world data sets.

[16] You may know that for a long time and still I've been interested in real -world robotics.

[17] One of the largest scale deployment of real -world robotics is autonomous vehicles.

[18] Autonomous driving and semi -autonomous driving, the stakes are very high.

[19] The same is true for financial markets.

[20] And so it's really interesting that Numeri presents to you the real -world data of financial markets and presents you an easy, accessible mechanism by which to test, deploy, and compete with others in this kind of data sets.

[21] So it's a really great way if you're interested in data science and machine learning to learn, to compete, to have fun, all that kind of stuff.

[22] Head over to Numer .a .i. slash Lex to sign up for a tournament and hone your machine learning.

[23] learning skills.

[24] That's Newmore
