Peter Thiel and the rest of the digital barons. The silicon gods of Techno-Olympus. What are their historical roots and what do they desire for humanity? In today's episode of "Dedicated Culture," Jacek Dukaj and Jan Maciejewski spin two competing tales about the nature and future of artificial intelligence. At the center of their dispute is the human soul and its bleak future under the rule of the digital deities of Silicon Valley.
