Episode 2308
Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Before the AI chatbot boom, psychologist and New Yorker contributor Paul Bloom wrote about how populations vulnerable to loneliness might be helped by the illusion of connection they offer. He discusses his more recent, updated reflection on the topic titled "A.I. Is About to Solve Loneliness. That’s a Problem," which is the subject of Wednesday evening's Theater of War on the Radio at BAM.
