MSP302. AMA: The Future’s Boring Laser Eyes

Pause

The day has arrived! Matt Armitage takes on the questions you've been dying to ask. With Richard Bradbury at his side, Matt fields questions on everything from the dawn of Skynet to why he refuses to be the "boring one with the laser eyes." They dive into the complexities of AI, algorithms, and whether we should expect a future filled with rogue robots or a green-energy tech paradise.

Ever wondered if an AGI will grow up like a human, or if simple algorithms could be doing the heavy lifting in finance and medicine? Matt and Richard tackle these questions with a mix of awe, skepticism, and a fair bit of existential dread.

Join Matt and Richard for part one of this AMA session where no question is too big, too small, or too strange.
