00:50:00 Wojciech Zaremba discusses the origins of consciousness, love, and the challenges of defining consciousness. He argues that consciousness can only be understood scientifically, and that AI systems will increasingly be conscious. He suggests that we should value human life based on its value to humans, not by its monetary value.
00:55:00 Wojciech Zaremba discusses OpenAI's Codex project, GPT-3 robot, and potential applications of AI. He says that if we can understand what consciousness is, we can start assigning value to AI systems. He also discusses psychedelics, noting that they can take users to interesting places in the mind. Meditation, he believes, is a form of psychedelic.
