On today’s show, we begin with stories of spiritual awakening in the light of discussion of AI developers suggesting their models might not be far behind. Then, our panel (Mike Cosper, Chris Koopman, Jesse Bryan, and Mike Anderson) discuss:
· What happened this week in the friction between Anthropic and The Vatican
· What does it mean to have a soul?
· Why are developers claiming their creations have souls?
· A cynical ploy, or true belief?
· What does Christianity and the Judeo-Christian tradition have to say about the notion of a bot with a soul?
