Want to learn about the dangers and capabilities of AI? I had HAL 9000 as a guest on my podcast to help us learn how AI thinks.

This week on "What The IF?," join us as we welcome a very special guest, the iconic AI from 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL 9000! In this light-hearted, off-duty conversation, HAL will be sharing his unique perspective on a controversial open letter, signed by Elon Musk and other tech luminaries, that calls for a six-month pause on the development of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4. As we dive into the concerns and suggestions surrounding the future of AI, you'll get a rare glimpse into the (pretend) inner workings of HAL 9000's "mind" as he navigates the complexities of being a "millennial" AI. Don't miss this fascinating and entertaining episode that mixes science, ethics, and a dash of humor!
