Thinking About Thinking Machines: Monk & Robot
Manage episode 443295427 series 3469425
For episode four of our series on the history of thinking about thinking machines, David and Shannon discuss a very different sci-fi sensibility: Becky Chambers’ Monk & Robot series (A Psalm for the Wild-Built (2021) and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (2022)). What would it mean for robots to ‘wake up’? How might robots teach humans about the nature of care and about the care of nature? And where do robots fit into a neurodiverse world? Plus: robots vs octopi.
There is another bonus episode to accompany this series available from Saturday on PPF+: David and Shannon talk about where AI is really taking us, sorting the reality from the hype. Sign up now for just £5 per month or £50 a year for 24 bonus episodes. https://www.ppfideas.com/join-ppf-plus
New PPF merch is available on our website: choose from a canvas tote bag or a bone china mug https://www.ppfideas.com/merch
Next time: Gary Gerstle on the current state of the American election.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
