Angus Fletcher - The Biggest Mistake We Made About Intelligence (Ep. 304)

The the problem that I see with many, many people with exploring AI is they they don't do the human part. But what the human brain has is it has this ability to kind of pass back and forth between that probability engine and that possibility engine, between that visual cortex and the motor cortex, between optimization and innovation. We as humans can kind of increase that part of our brain, that power that we have. And then you start to get this kind of new future where the two kinds of intelligence can produce total intelligence. Well, hello everyone, it's Jim O'Shaughnessy with another Infinite Loops.

I have just had one of the best conversations that I've had in a long time with my guest, Angus Fletcher. He studies stories not as entertainment, but as the operating system of human intelligence. Please enjoy my conversation with Angus. Angus. Hey Jim.

Good to meet you. Good to meet you. I loved your book. Oh, thank you. I'm very honored.
