Global Conflict, AGI, & The Future of the Social Contract

Taj Sarin joins the show. Taj is an AI Product Manager and Strategic Advisor for the US military.

In this episode we dive into the impact of AI on warfare, society, and the military-industrial complex. How quantum communication, space-based defense systems, alongside AI and automation are reshaping military logistics and global power structures.

The conversation dives into genetic engineering, the ethics of technological control, and the human social contract in an AI-driven world. Taj also examines historical and modern military experiments, including the Philadelphia Experiment, questioning the role of advanced technology in shaping human interaction, governance, and the future of war.
