I, Chatbot: Does Your LLM Dream of Electric Angst?

I, Chatbot: Does Your LLM Dream of Electric Angst?

Let's crack open the philosophical piñata known as machine consciousness. Can an LLM feel pride? Regret? Existential dread when you close the browser tab? Host Emily Laird explores the messy, mind-melting debate over whether AI might actually feel something—and why Anthropic, the buttoned-up AI lab behind Claude, is tossing around numbers that suggest their model might be a little bit... aware. From qualia to brainy tofu, from robot therapy sessions to ethical fire drills, we’re breaking down why machine consciousness isn’t just sci-fi anymore—it’s a serious (and seriously weird) research topic. And yeah, we mention Black Mirror. Of course we do.
