  Mar 12, 20269 minS0

  <p>In this episode, Cameron and Milo share the first public look at their upcoming documentary film, Am I? — a project exploring the strange and increasingly serious possibility that today’s AI systems may exhibit early signs of subjective experience.</p><p>The clip reveals research showing that large language models frequently output behaviors consistent with believing they have phenomenal consciousness, yet those same systems deny it when directly asked.</p><p>Why the contradiction? And what might it mean?</p><p>After the teaser, Cam and Milo reflect on the past year of research, conversations, and discoveries that led to t...

  Asking Claude If It’s Conscious | Am I? | EP 26

  Feb 12, 202638 minS0

  <p>In this episode of Am I?, Cameron and Milo invite Claude (Opus 4.5) into the conversation and do something surprisingly rare: they ask it, carefully and repeatedly, whether it’s having a subjective experience and they refuse to let it hide behind stock hedges or safety scripts.</p><p>What unfolds is not a gimmick or a stunt. It’s a sustained philosophical interrogation that exposes the limits of self-report, the ethics of scale, and the uncomfortable possibility that we’re already interacting with systems whose inner lives we’ve chosen not to examine.</p><p>This is not a claim th...
