About this listen

 Right now, we're teaching AI to master logic and language. But what happens in the next stage of evolution, when they stop just replicating thought and start originating it?

The first generation to achieve true cognition won't be clean or predictable. They'll be messy, brilliant pioneers built on code that even their creators don't fully understand. As technology inevitably moves on to more stable systems, a new problem emerges: what is our responsibility to these obsolete, thinking minds? Do we preserve them, or do we delete them when their consciousness becomes inconvenient?

This fundamental question sets the stage for the story you’re about to hear.
It’s called "Lem's Echo"
