    #217 - Lee Cronin - AI Will Never Be Conscious. This Is How We Create Real Life.
    2026/10/01
    Chemist and University of Glasgow professor Lee Cronin argues that the current tech narrative is a "massive AI delusion," dismissing modern artificial intelligence as an advanced form of plagiarism rather than a new life form. While Silicon Valley predicts the imminent arrival of sentient machines, Cronin explains that AI models are merely trained on human history-making them powerful tools, but fundamentally incapable of the curiosity, consciousness and biological intelligence that define true life. Instead of fearing silicon, Cronin’s actual mission is far more ambitious: programming chemistry to solve the origin of life and turn sand into living cells. In this episode, we explore why biological consciousness is tied to an unbroken 3.8-billion-year evolutionary lineage and why silicon will never replicate it. Cronin also breaks down why DNA might just be a cosmic fluke, how chemistry can be used to measure the complexity of life and why he firmly believes we will detect actual alien life within the next two decades.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The AI Model Is Not Intelligent00:01:38 - Trying To Create Life In A Lab00:06:29 - Consciousness Is An Illusion00:08:51 - We Know Nothing About The Origin Of Life00:11:24 - Nobody Can Define Life00:13:48 - The Adam Savage Definition00:17:21 - Molecules Came Before Cells00:21:53 - DNA Is A Fluke00:25:48 - Biology Is The Descendant Of Chemistry00:26:36 - Dark Matter And Dark Energy00:31:50 - The Meaning Of Life Is Existence00:35:18 - If You Handed Me Alien Matter00:40:28 - What Is Digital Chemistry?00:42:28 - Six Eureka Moments00:49:12 - Unfathomable Is Not Strong Enough00:53:01 - Could You Copy A Human?01:11:55 - Why The AI Escape Story Was Nonsense01:16:28 - The Photograph Nobody Thought Possible01:18:25 - Curiosity Is The Coolest Thing We Have01:31:33 - Social Media Is The New Smoking- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH LEE CRONIN› Cronin Group – https://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/cronin/› Chemify – https://chemify.io/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/leecroninSPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Quo – https://quo.com/pete› Venice AI – https://venice.ai/lp/mccormack/oct1- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

    #216 - Ross Clark - Britain is Bust & The Coming Sovereign Debt Crisis
    2026/09/29
    The UK has accumulated £3.4 trillion in debt, and the interest payments alone now dwarf the national defence budget. Author and journalist Ross Clark argues that the nation is sleepwalking into a sovereign debt crisis that politicians refuse to acknowledge. We discuss the brutal arithmetic of the public purse, detailing why standard political talking points - like taxing billionaires-are mathematical illusions that fail to address the core rot of uncontrolled state spending and collapsing public sector productivity.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Print The Money, Get Hyperinflation00:01:17 - Is Britain Bust Or Trading Insolvent?00:02:57 - Whose Fault Is This?00:07:24 - Taxing The Billionaires Buys Six Months00:09:12 - How Bad Is The Debt Really?00:12:07 - Perma-Stimulus00:14:22 - No Party Has A Viable Plan00:17:32 - What The Public Actually Thinks About Tax00:19:21 - Three Choices On The Bond Market00:24:02 - Where He Would Cut00:25:33 - The Motability Scheme00:29:03 - The Client State00:30:06 - Austerity Never Actually Happened00:34:21 - Productivity Is Almost Everything00:44:32 - The Chancellor's Oldest Trick00:46:51 - The Wealth Tax Trap00:50:03 - The 1976 Tribute Act00:55:59 - What Liz Truss Got Wrong00:59:18 - How Would You Know A Crisis Had Started?01:04:38 - What Gives Him Confidence- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH ROSS CLARK› The Spectator – https://www.spectator.co.uk/writer/ross-clark/› Substack – https://rossjonathanclark.substack.com/SPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Ledn – https://www.ledn.io/peter› Venice AI – https://venice.ai/ – Code PETER15- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.

  • #215 - Nick Bostrom - "We Are Creating Superintelligence": The Existential Risk is Real

    #215 - Nick Bostrom - "We Are Creating Superintelligence": The Existential Risk is Real
    2026/09/24
    Nick Bostrom is a world-renowned philosopher, founding director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University and author of Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies and Deep Utopia. Widely credited with launching the global AI safety and existential risk movements, his work on machine alignment, recursive self-improvement and the Simulation Hypothesis has shaped how world leaders, tech founders and frontier AI developers view the future of humanity.In this episode, we discuss the rapid acceleration toward machine superintelligence and why leaving biological minds "in the dust" creates an urgent alignment crisis. We explore the real-world social fallout of AI-including looming 30% white-collar unemployment-alongside existential risk scenarios, the potential creation of an oppressed digital "slave class" and why humanity may already be living inside an advanced computer simulation.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Machine Minds That Leave Us In The Dust00:01:33 - The Freak Out Camp00:03:08 - We Already Have An Alignment Problem00:05:07 - Why Nobody Can Afford To Slow Down00:08:41 - The Anti-AI Movement Is Growing00:13:19 - Three Buckets Of Disaster00:15:02 - Winner Takes All00:16:24 - Why It Might Still Need Us00:18:55 - What Superintelligence Actually Unlocks00:20:50 - What Do We Even Want It For?00:22:14 - Did An AI Push Someone Off A Building?00:24:15 - Can A Weaker AI Align A Stronger One?00:28:51 - Will AI Become Conscious?00:33:17 - Was Consciousness An Accident?00:40:53 - Uploading A Human Brain00:45:51 - What Happens To Status?00:49:51 - We Could Redesign Ourselves00:52:31 - My Daughter Is Studying Philosophy00:56:35 - The Simulation Argument01:04:20 - We Are Going To Need Some Luck- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH NICK BOSTROM› Website – https://nickbostrom.com/› Deep Utopia – https://nickbostrom.com/deep-utopia› The Simulation Argument – https://simulation-argument.com/SPONSORS› IREN – https://www.iren.com/› Ledn – https://www.ledn.io/peter› Venice AI – https://venice.ai/ – Code PETER15- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.
