It's summer and that means it's

0:02

time to break out the grill.

0:04

That's right, hot dogs, hamburgers, all

0:06

kinds of great cookout foods. And

0:09

you know what? No matter what's

0:11

on the grill, Hellman's is making

0:13

sure this summer is one to

0:15

savor. The rich and creamy Hellman's

0:17

you know and love comes in

0:19

even more irresistible flavors. A bit

0:21

of spicy mayonnaise gives any meal

0:23

a nice kick. Made with

0:26

real peppers for real spice lovers.

0:28

Um, who would that be? How

0:30

about me? If you're not afraid

0:32

to be bold, garlic aioli made

0:34

with real garlic adds irresistible flavor

0:36

to every dish and even works

0:38

great as a dip. That's

0:41

right, who needs a sandwich?

0:43

Dip that chip and enjoy.

0:45

0:50

2:02

today. Coming

2:05

up on StarTalk special edition, rather

2:08

than attach computers to your brains,

2:11

what happens if a

2:13

computer is made of

2:15

the building blocks of brains

2:18

themselves? Coming up on

2:20

special edition. Welcome

2:24

to StarTalk, your

2:26

place in the universe where science

2:28

and pop culture collide. StarTalk

2:32

begins right now. This

2:37

is StarTalk special edition. Neil

2:40

deGrasse Tyson, you're a personal astrophysicist.

2:42

I got with me my co-host,

2:44

the dynamic duo. Gary

2:48

O'Reilly. Gary, how you doing, man? I'm good, Neil.

2:50

Good to be on again. Former soccer pro. You

2:52

staying in shape a little bit? No. Okay.

2:56

We'll do a separate episode on staying in

2:58

shape. Just as it should be. And that

3:01

other voice is, of course, longtime StarTalk co-host,

3:03

Chuck Knight. How you doing, Chuck? Hey, what's

3:05

happening? So Gary, what did you and your

3:07

producers cook up for today? Well,

3:09

once we came across this particular

3:11

project and this particular guest, this

3:14

was a given. We had to do it.

3:16

So let me put it to you this way. Everyone

3:19

wants to know what tomorrow's

3:21

world will bring. We

3:23

all know you can put technology

3:25

into biologists, think Elon and Newerling.

3:28

But is that the only route to the

3:30

future? What if we flip

3:32

the script? Yeah. What

3:35

if we introduce the biology to the

3:38

technology? Oh. Then

3:41

what happens? You get what I'm

3:43

reliably informed is called synthetic biological

3:45

intelligence or, as we will

3:47

learn further into the show, SBI for short.

3:50

And so during this show, Neil, we're

3:53

going to get into AGI ethics, comparing

3:56

SBI with silicone

3:59

intelligence. Squeezing

22:49

everything you want to do into one

22:52

vacation can make even the most experienced

22:54

travelers question their abilities. But when you

22:56

travel with Amex Platinum and get room

22:58

upgrades when available at fine hotels and

23:01

resorts booked through Amex Travel, plus Resi

23:05

tables, and Amex card members can even
