Consciousness & Self Consciousness with Dr. Raphael Milliere
In this week's episode, I speak to Dr. Raphael Milliere, a philosopher of cognitive science, on the differences between consciousness and self consciousness. Dr. Raphael starts off by defining these terms and their distinction, and his work on how consciousness can be present while experiencing the loss of self. We also talk about measuring consciousness, Google's advanced AI system known as LaMDA, as well as consciousness in virtual reality.
