About Today's Guest: Alex Tsakaris of Skeptiko fame is actually very well equipped to explore and assess the new AI landscape, as he experienced the potential and the unfulfilled promises of AI while pursuing a pHD at the University of Arizona, and soon after as he founded and then sold his own AI company, Mind Path Technologies over a decade before the current craze. He has since been exploring the intersection of science and spirituality through his podcast Skeptiko, and is the author of books like:
* WHY SCIENCE IS WRONG...About Almost Everything
* Why Evil Matters: How Science & Religion Fumbled a Big One
And his latest:
* Why AI? Is Smartest... Is Dangerous... Is Divine

| 0:00.0 | All right guys, look, we know what this is. It's my pre-show pitch to try to convert more |
| 0:06.2 | free first hour listeners to full two-hour plus show subscribers. And this is a format I've been |
| 0:11.3 | using for 10 years now, so I realize that most people who see the value have already pulled the trigger on it, |
| 0:17.0 | but now I'm trying to get deep down into those hard-to-reach places, and I guess that's you. |
| 0:21.0 | Now what can I say that hasn't been said there's only a few ways of |
| 0:23.8 | podcast works the big one is ads they suck they ruin the flow of the show and in a lot of |
| 0:28.1 | cases they erode the trust and respect I have for hosts that go this route. |
| 0:32.6 | They shouldn't be promoting boner pills and hair pills or encouraging a fast track through |

| 0:47.0 | bought a razor my favorite podcaster said would be Nick proof Nicked myself the first |
| 0:51.5 | day. I got sucked into a foam mattress from a guy who said he's never slept better and I haven't slept good since. |
| 0:57.6 | And that Irish titles thing everyone was selling turned out to be a complete scam too. |
| 1:01.7 | But enough about how my colleagues mouths are for sale to whoever |
| 1:05.0 | asks, I'm here to put you in this Plus membership today. Five shows a month for eight bucks |
| 1:09.9 | with a decade-long archive. And yes, the first hour is important. |
| 1:14.0 | It's there to present our guests to the wide counterculture, |
| 1:17.0 | open-minded audience we've cultivated, |
| 1:19.0 | and it gives people a feel for if they like what THC is, as well as being the proof of concept that I can do a lot more |
| 1:26.2 | with the added time. The second hour is so I can make a living and it's also an opportunity to get |
| 1:31.5 | into the stuff your standard one hour shows can't. |
