Wow, this is an amazing interview. 100% signal, 0% noise, and explained with shocking clarity. Thanks a lot!

[@GameThinkingTV]

So glad you enjoyed the interview! We worked hard to edit it down to 100% signal - you noticed, and that means a lot ❤️

GEB is a fabulous book. One of my all time favorites. The way Doug has been able to discuss so many aspects and still intertwine in a beautiful way is such legendary writing. I read it so many years back but I still relate to the concept of strange loops in everyday life. Thanks for sharing this.

[@GameThinkingTV]

Thanks for your comment! I felt the same way💖

[@scottekim]

Have you read GEB? Or wanted to? I'm thinking about making a follow-up video for those who want to read Gödel, Escher, Bach, but find it's length and density daunting. Let me know if you'd be interested in seeing that.

It was interesting hearing how the books came about, but the final comments about AI demonstrate a complete lack of understanding. AI on current technology can never have anything like conscious awareness, simply because the architecture is based on encoding, and that precludes any meaning attaching to the data until it is re-translated.
