Westworld, Artificial Intelligence, & Chess

Hi Guys, Huge fan of the podcast. Followed you guys for the most recent season of Game of Thrones and now for season two of Westworld. Keep up the good work! I’m a casual chess player and recently read the article below and it totally blew my mind with respect...

Another Man In Black’s Trash Is Another Board’s Treasure

Hello guys, and gal, I’ve been following you all ever since the first Westworld Podcast, but this is the first time I’ve emailed you. Let’s hope you all like it. So to business… The Longevity Project we see with Daddy Delos-Bot (DDB) could never work since the mind, or consiousness,...
