In this podcast, the host engages in an hour-long, unedited conversation with Yuval Noah Harari, the author of "Sapiens" and "Homo Deus." They dive into Harari's latest book, "Nexus," exploring the impact of AI and the emergence of "intercomputer realities" alongside human-made intersubjective realities.

The discussion wraps up by highlighting the importance of human consciousness and the need for symbiotic relationships as algorithms increasingly shape our world.
