Muller's Ratchet - Episode 9 - Can I Have a Little AGI?
<p>AGI is supposed to be this monumental, civilization-shifting breakthrough. But what if it doesn’t arrive all at once? What if it creeps in - feature by feature - until one day we realize we’ve crossed a line?</p><p>In Episode 9, we explore whether “a little AGI” even makes sense as a concept.

But what about artificial intelligence?In this episode, we explore whether AI can experience time at all - or whether it simply processes events without any sense of before, after, or waiting. We talk about memory, prediction, consciousness, and why “time” might mean something very different when you don’t have a body, emotions, or a lifespan.Along the way, we ask a bigger question: what does AI’s relationship with time reveal about our own?</p>
