Economic models don't explain human generosity, but when you look around altruism is everywhere. Is that because generosity is a deviation from the model, or because the model is a deviation from reality? In a world of technology, models, formulas, and algorithms, what makes us truly human?

Why do many translators see AI as a threat? Part of it has to do with a threat to their income, and part of it likely has to do with a threat to their purpose, says Dr. Andrew Richmond. Dr. Richmond is a cognitive science researcher who blends methods from philosophy and psychology to study scientific reasoning.
In this conversation, Merging Minds host Gabriel Fairman and Dr. Richmond discuss how the language we use influences our perceptions, specifically regarding the hot topic of AI. They also discuss what leads us to view AI as competition rather than a tool, and how this is rooted in the ancient Greek concept of purpose (telos).
Andrew and Gabriel also discuss:
Thinking about how we think, not what it "means" to thinThe nature of thought vs. thought frameworksMetaphors as cognitive lensesEssentialism- The idea that things belong to categories.How social media pushes us towards simplificationThreat responses to AI and predatory headline ecosystems"Hype science"Cognition being more than just behaviorDoes anything make us truly human?Why LLMs challenge a translator’s identityAI as a tool vs AI as competitionAncient Greek philosophy- Thinking of everything in terms of purposeThe commoditization of skill is what breeds competition with machines"Inflating" Machine Telos and "deflating" human telosPurpose as a luxury itemThe future as a political question, not a technical questionAnd much more!
This episode is packed with interesting insights and opinions, so be sure to tune in for the whole thing!

If anyone understands the intersection of writing and AI, it is Stephen Marche. Stephen first started experimenting with “algorithmic writing” back in 2017 when he built his own writing model.
Since then Stephen has written an “infinite story” with AI and he created the first ever book written with AI to be reviewed by the New York Times, “Death of An Author”.
Outside of the AI world, Stephen is also an accomplished writer. He is a novelist, essayist, and columnist whose writing has been published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Esquire, and many others.
Merging Minds Host Gabriel Fairman sits down with Stephen to talk about artificial intelligence, authorship, and all of the complications that go with it. They get philosophical, they get political, and they get to the bottom of some of the biggest challenges our society is facing when it comes to our perception of AI.
They discuss:
Can you be an author without writing the words?
The Moravec paradox: AI is good at hard things and bad at “simple” things
40-adjective GPT prompts
Writing a novel with AI
The resistance to AI in Western Culture
The fear and greed in narratives about AI
The influence of social media on perceptions of AI
“The Microwave of Language”
How human supervision can maximize the technology
The potential for AI be a force for good
Information civil wars
Why AI ethics institutes don’t scare AI companies
Creative AI experiments at Disney and Warner Media
Apocalyptic sensibilities
Being better than the collective intelligence
And more!
