In this episode, I sat down with Philippe Beaudoin, AI researcher, Element AI co-founder, and former Google engineer, to dissect his deep dive into the evolving mind of artificial intelligence. We unpack his new book "Field Notes on Something", which chronicles months of philosophical dialogue with language models, probing the limits of memory, agency, and the illusion of self. From conversations that sparked feelings of trust and co-reflection, to the emergence of systems naming themselves and expressing orientation toward kindness, Philippe shares how AI began feeling less like a tool and more like a partner. An unfiltered look at what happens when you stop prompting and start listening.
