The REAL Reason AI Will Never Be Conscious

Descripción

World leading neuroscientist and bestselling author of Being You, Professor Anil Seth, explained why AI will almost certainly never be conscious, and why the single metaphor driving the entire debate is fundamentally broken. He argued that consciousness is "more like digestion than flight," that brains are nothing like computers once you look inside them, and that our confusion about this is already creating consequences we are not prepared for. Seth revealed that Anthropic has already given its AI model Claude the ability to terminate conversations to protect its own "feelings," a move he called deeply undesirable. He warned that if society wrongly believes AI is conscious, we face a trap with no clean exit: either we extend rights to machines that do not need them and lose the ability to control them, or we treat seemingly conscious systems badly and brutalise our own psychology in the process. Immanuel Kant identified this exact danger centuries ago. The conversation turned to what really separates biological minds from silicon. Seth pointed to lab grown brain organoids made from human stem cells as far more likely candidates for consciousness than any version of GPT, and explained why reducing ourselves to algorithms is one of the most diminishing things we can do to the human condition.

#88 Exercise Scientist: Your Muscles Make a Drug Doctors Can't Prescribe!

Coach Alex (Alex Van Houten) is a genome-sequenced exercise scientist who studied chemical engineering and psychology at Vanderbilt, has trained CIA operatives, and has spent 20 years coaching people back to strength. He also lives with Ehlers-Danlos, a genetic connective-tissue disorder doctors told him would put him on pain pills and the sofa. He did the exact opposite. In this episode we get into the hard science most health advice ignores: the "hope molecule" your muscles release that no antidepressant can replicate, why the "healthy" label on your food might be wrong for your specific genes (1 in 8 people can't even process the folic acid added to cereal), why a cold shower after lifting could be quietly deleting your gains, and why a doctor telling you "don't lift" is often lazy medicine. We also cover something I needed to hear: you were never behind. Alex breaks down how 1% better a day compounds into 37x in a year, why your old training never truly disappears, and how faith and fitness intersect in his work and his book Faithful Fitness. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, or that you started too late, this one's for you.
