Summary

In episode 335 astrologer Kent Bye joins Chris in the studio in Denver to talk about artificial intelligence and consciousness through the lens of astrology. Kent is the former host of the Voices of AI Podcast, and has conducted hundreds of interviews with different specialists in AI over the years. During the course of the episode we cover topics such as whether it will ever be possible to replicate human consciousness with artificial intelligence, what planetary alignments in the future might coincide with this if it was possible, and whether astrology itself could be used as a model for consciousness. This conversation was recorded the day after our previous episode on virtual reality and astrology, and was originally intended to be more of a casual discussion about artificial intelligence only available to patrons of the podcast, but the discussion went so well that I decided to release it as a full episode of The Astrology Podcast.

0:08.5	artificial intelligence as a topic that we've got into a little bit yesterday on
0:12.6	The astrology podcast episode, but not a lot so we're going to get into that amongst other things a little bit more today
0:18.0	And a little casual hopefully a little bit shorter than our five hour conversation yesterday

1:11.8	To do some stuff in between and now to record this to sort of have a more casual discussion like after the main one
1:18.9	So it's kind of an interesting thing in terms of where to where to go with the podcast in the future
