Episode 5: Baby LLMs and the End of Free Will

The first guest arrives, and the show goes off the deep end on purpose Antoni Tzavelas joins Andrew DeGood and Liz Short on simulation theory. How likely are we living in one? Anthony says zero. Liz says fifty. Andrew says ninety-five. Free will, baby LLMs, and whether AI is here to save us.

What is Ghost in the Machine?

The AI conversation, without the noise.

Every week, Andrew DeGood and Liz Short sit down for a thirty-minute conversation about artificial intelligence. Andrew comes in as the optimist, a founder building AI products and betting his career on where this technology is headed. Liz brings the harder questions, the ones about what we lose, what we risk, and what we owe the people who didn't sign up for any of this.

They bring in the people actually shaping the field. Researchers, founders, ethicists, skeptics, builders. Real conversations about real implications. No hype cycles. No doom loops. Just two smart people and a guest trying to figure out what this moment actually means.
