In this episode, Jared and Matt dive into some of the biggest questions surrounding artificial intelligence and consciousness. What happens as AI becomes more capable, more personal, and harder to distinguish from human interaction? We explore whether AI could ever truly be conscious, how we would even recognize consciousness in a machine, and what that could mean for our relationship with technology. We also discuss Thomas Campbell’s ideas about consciousness and reality, the possibility that consciousness is more fundamental than we currently understand, and how those ideas might connect to the future of AI. Along the way, we tackle remote viewing, AI experiments, misinformation, human-AI relationships, and the strange territory we're entering as these systems become part of everyday life. This isn't about having all the answers—it's about asking what happens when technology starts challenging our assumptions about intelligence, reality, and what it means to be conscious.

Matt and I sit down for a long-form conversation with no script and no filter—just two friends talking, exchanging ideas, asking questions, and seeing where the conversation takes us.

This podcast is about having the kinds of conversations that don't always fit neatly into a category. We'll explore ideas, experiences, technology, life, strange questions, and whatever else catches our interest along the way. We may agree, disagree, change our minds, or end up somewhere completely different from where we started.
