Description

Not even the most advanced form of artificial intelligence can ever replace man. Because there is something in human beings that is irreducible to machine knowledge: self-awareness, free will, doubt, feelings.

* Federico Faggin, Tiscali notizie interview, May 2024

This week, Yevgeny Simkin and I explore the limits of human and artificial intelligence. It’s a conversation about brains, machines, and the fragile thread of freedom that connects them.

Simkin is a Soviet refugee, contributor at The Bulwark, former guest on The Radicalist, founder of the social platform Sez Us, and co-founder of Samizdat Online, which keeps the world’s banned news sites alive in places such as Russia, China, and Iran.

The Radicalist is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
