Drunk on AI Ethics, Claude’s Wine Pairings, and Sentient Chatbots

They Might Be Self-Aware Podcast (TMBSA) - EPISODE 50 POUR YOURSELF A GLASS AND SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE TECH TOASTS! This week on "They Might Be Self-Aware," our AI sommelier Claude pours us a glass of Barolo to pair with our musings on open source software. Is it the fanciest wine pairing yet, or just a vintage choice for tech enthusiasts? Amidst deep dives, we tackle ethics: Are we treating AIs fairly, and what does hiring an AI welfare researcher mean for the industry? Are we on the brink of a bubble or a tech breakthrough? With whistleblower protections under the microscope, should AI developers have the freedom to alert us to potential robot uprisings? And speaking of robots, was Google's former engineer Lemoyne right about his claims of sentient chatbots, or is it all just sci-fi chatter? Buckle up for thought-provoking questions, laughter, and a slight obsession with whether our LLMs deserve a say in their digital destinies. Just another Monday at "They Might Be Self-Aware," where we sip, speculate, and let our robot overlords pick the wine. Cheers!
