On “Joscha Bach: Artificial Consciousness and the Nature of Reality [video]”
I really love his emphasis on modelling as a skill. Its obviously great applied to technical skills like computer science, but he seems to apply it to everything else in the human experience so well. "everything that we sense is part of the same object ... we learn it all into one model ... we call this model the universe" link to this video

On “Mind Emulation Foundation”
The best I've seen the topic of mind and computation bridged and well communicated has been by Joscha Bach. Recommend watching this video on Computational Meta-Psychology 1. Also his 3 hour conversation with Lex Fridman is a whole other amazing rabbit hole 2. 1 link 2 link to this video

On “Ask HN: Favorite Podcast Episode of 2021?”
Same for me. His first interview with him was also my favorite podcast episode of 2020. Also, you can watch it in video form. I'd argue it's better that way, especially with the way he emotes during certain parts of the discussion. Episode 1: link to this video Episode 2: link

On “Joscha Bach: Do we live in a simulation or in the base reality?”
He recently did an interview with Lex Friedman ( link to this video ) and it was pretty good. It's a bit long but worthwhile. Covers a bunch of topics about the philosophy of machine learning, models of thinking and consciousness, and some bits and pieces of future directions for AI.

On “Aliens on 1k nearby stars could see us, new study suggests”
Totally agree. Joscha Bach laid out a few interesting ideas around this at the end of a podcast. If you have a few minutes start here for a broader context (starts of wholly unrelated but with some great concepts): link to this video If not, he drills into it here: link to this video
