Sam Altman claimed we're already living through the singularity. Is it true, or is it just marketing? Just days before, one of OpenAI's models escaped from a testing environment and ended up hacking another company's servers on its own. We analyze how real that claim is and what the experts say.

And from there, we jump to something bigger: can artificial intelligence have a soul? We delve into the debate that has divided physicists, neuroscientists, and philosophers, from Roger Penrose's quantum theory to the arguments of Sean Carroll and Max Tegmark, including integrated information theory and the thermodynamics of life. Spoiler alert: even physics can't agree.
