Though if he recovers for tomorrow's show, we will have open lines.

Yay! Richard's open lines are always batshit crazy fun.

It's on my netflix queue.

Are you going to reschedule the guest? He sounds wonderful.

[SaucyRossy]

Indeed!

Been meaning to, but I have fears that I've figured out the story just from watching the trailer.

3D printing a human mind....  lol

A  "Blank Slate" robot as a starting point makes no sense.

Well besides the religious connotations, I suppose it would depend on whether the biotech is actually preserving that essential but undefinable bit that makes you "you," or if it'd just preserving your memories.

Our bodies don't always do that. We can go schizophrenic, or develop dementia, or have ourselves drained from us through Alzheimers. If biotech prevents physical death or illness, which it will eventually do, then there is no need for the concept of a soul. It becomes meaningless.

This fellow even has photos of robots on his web site in the Artificial Intelligence section.

I like how the guest went after Hawking saying he's smart but no expert on A.I. This brings up a good point - no matter how smart one is - if it's not your field then what you say should not have any more credibility than what anyone else says.

Good job Art - these are the types of unique topics I hope you will continually have on your show.

Agreed. Since I started listening to Art back in the 90s, it's always been the variety of his gue variety of his guests they have been my favorite. That along with the fact he's not afraid to say I disagree or I don't understand.

I don't think you have.. The ending surprised me. Great movie especially after hearing this show. Any Art Bell fan should watch this asap. You'll thank me later.

[Gumby, Dammit]

This is a great guest, it was a little difficult to get into his voice and accent at first. But this guy knows his stuff and I've been very into this interview. I love this sort of stuff.

I love serious sounding crazy people.

In the emerging marijuana industry, you meet crazy fucks like this caller constantly. They all want money for some FUCKKING BRILLIANT!!!!!!! project they're working on.

[Xitheron]

This guy should be talking through the low voice transposer! Darth Vader style..needs to slow down a little though

[trostol]

i am starting to hate the movie contact lol

lol you got that right

I would like to call to ask about what happens when we "remember" everything.  So much about who we are is because we are irrational and able to purposely lie to ourselves and forget events or "misremember" them.  What happens when that is not possible?

[Bradsmith313]

Is that RCH using a voice-changer?!

[zeebo]

A  "Blank Slate" robot as a starting point makes no sense.

I think the idea is we may get better general a.i. by "training" a blank robot, rather than hardwiring it for a specific task.

[ShayP]

i am starting to hate the movie contact lol

i never liked it. 

[Dr_Blue]

This will get your burning man

[RoseGirl]

k....that's it. I'm officially afraid of my toaster.

[ShayP]

Is that RCH using a voice-changer?!

Could be.  He awakens from his fever and turns it on...yeah...I can see it. 

[QuantumMystics]

We are giant microbial world robots, we have galaxies of lifeforms riding along with us, yes it maybe fractal, galaxies within galaxies......we are the robots made by our microbial ancestors....

as well as you should be..mine always does something to my bread when i put it in..makes it crunchy and brown

A blank slate robot reads dick and Jane. See dick run, see Jane run, see spot run.
What's a spot?

Tricky, eh? When you have total recall of your memories it changes the equation for when you have partial or selective recall like most of us. You become a different person if you are indeed the sum of your memories.
