The Infinite Podcast

What happens when your brother is a theoretical physicist helping shape the future of AI safety? In this mind-expanding episode, I sit down with Dr. Paul Riechers—my brother, theoretical physicist, and co-founder of Simplex, one of the leading organizations in AI safety. Paul is at the forefront of one of the most important conversations of our time: how AI is evolving, how quickly it may surpass human intelligence, and what that could mean for the future of humanity.Does AI have emotions? Desires? Preferences? How does AI compare to the discovery of fire, in terms of the immense impact it will have on humanity? Is AI built or is it grown - and how exactly does it grow? These are some of the fascinating, intense and mind-bending questions we address in this episode. Furthermore, we dive into the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence, how AI systems are increasingly helping build and improve their own code, and whether we’ve already entered a self-reinforcing snowball effect of technological growth. We also explore robotics, the realistic timeline for artificial superintelligence, and the most likely scenarios for humanity as intelligence surpasses human capability.One of the deepest questions we tackle: can intelligence become separated from desire? In other words, could an ultra-intelligent system develop goals, preferences, or values that diverge from those of its creators—and what would that mean for all of us? We also discuss whether current AI systems already show hints of emerging preferences beyond simple human instruction.This episode is equal parts fascinating, sobering, and awe-inspiring—a conversation about the biggest force shaping our future.You can learn more about AI safety here: Video (A Physicist's Guide to Governing AI) with Dr. Paul Riechers: https://youtu.be/7oJIYrIrsV8?si=yQhZvMYBcgfTLbyASimplex Website: https://www.simplexaisafety.com/Video (a very math-y talk about AI research) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vz9wdNNxVo

In this powerful episode, Glo sits down with Lawrence Jay (LJ) Millman—yoga teacher and somatic facilitator—for what is essentially a mini-course in Spiral Dynamics and Internal Family Systems (IFS) AKA "Parts Work".If you’ve ever felt like “part of me wants this, but another part of me is terrified”… you’re already speaking the language of parts work.LJ unpacks:Spiral Dynamics as a map of human and cultural evolution—why we outgrow old versions of ourselves, and how understanding the “spiral” can explain everything from family conflict to global politics.Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a gentle, powerful way to meet your inner “parts” (the protector, the perfectionist, the people-pleaser, the wild one…) with curiosity instead of shame.How these frameworks together help you move from unconscious protection into conscious power.You’ll also get to listen in on an impromptu live parts-work session between Glo and LJ, where they lovingly explore one of LJ's own inner parts in real time. It’s intimate and honest demonstration of how this work actually looks and feels in practice.LJ brings 18 years of teaching yoga across Hong Kong, Australia, Bali, and beyond—including helping open Hot Yoga studios throughout Russia—and weaves in somatics, craniosacral therapy, and spiritual strategy to ground these concepts in the body, not just the mind.In this episode, you’ll learn:What Spiral Dynamics is (in human language) and how to spot which “color” or stage you’re operating fromThe core principles of IFS / parts work—and why none of your parts are “bad”How to recognize when a protective part is running your lifePractical ways to begin relating to your inner system with more compassion, clarity, and choiceWhy integrating your parts can unlock creativity, intimacy, leadership, and deeper spiritual connectionIf you’re on a healing journey, a growth path, or you simply love understanding why you are the way you are—this episode will light you up.🎧 Press play for a deep, nerdy, heart-opening exploration of consciousness, healing, and inner freedom.Connect with LJ: @LJBioPoet

Give yourself the gift of dropping into this beautiful meditation. With original handpan music and loving guidance by Glo, you will be transported into an elevated state. This meditation offers you a gentle pathway to dive deep into your subconscious, giving you the space to tune into your heart's desires and let your nervous system sync up to your desired reality. What if everything you've ever truly desired is already on its way to you? What if it's just a matter of trusting and adjusting your nervous system, for you to manifest your deepest desires? Most of our nervous systems and minds are caught in loops of stress, fear, worry and fight or flight. We are literally addicted to stress chemicals, which is why we tend to re-create similar-feeling situations in our lives. Even if we consciously desire a different reality, when our subconscious is normalized to a "survival" or fear state, it can be extremely hard to shift.  In this meditation, we will practice attuning our nervous systems to a new, beautiful state of being. It takes practice to shift our nervous system. Thus, I recommend practicing this meditation for 30 days in a row and watch how you feel and what you create. I think you will be shocked at how quickly this works! Wishing you great pleasure and ease as you co-create the life of your deepest desires! Love,Glo

Let me introduce you to "Divine Dom Daddy", the divine masculine counterpart of the universe who wants to provide for you, make love to you, give you everything you ever desired. Channeled by yours truly.

Every woman carries within her a sacred whisper, a seed of divinity longing to blossom. Hallie Lifson’s work is dedicated to creating ceremonies that honor this truth, providing a space where women can shed the masks of expectation and reclaim their fully embodied essence.As a certified Temple Guide, a licensed occupational therapist, and a priestess, Hallie brings a unique blend of professional expertise and sacred wisdom to her work. She guides women through transformational journeys in The Magdalene Manifestation Temple, a sacred container that meets on the new and full moons over seven months.Together, they honor the oldest myth on earth—the myth of the goddess Inanna, descending into the depths of the dark each October and emerging resurrected each April, renewed in divine power and creative potential.The temple culminates in a powerful in-person retreat and a pilgrimage to an ancient sacred site. Here, women remember and embody the priestess within, reconnecting with the timeless wisdom and lineage of their sacred feminine ancestors.Guided by a deep reverence for the transformational power of shared rituals, Hallie believes that when women gather in sacred circles, the facades fall, and a profound magic emerges—one that restores, heals, and reconnects them to their divine nature.Through these ceremonies, she weaves together ancient wisdom and modern insights to cultivate spaces of authenticity, creativity, and soulful alignment. Her vision is a world where every woman feels free to live her truth, embody her power, and create from the depth of her being.CONNECT W/ HALLIE: IG: @HallieLifson

This is a very unique episode because I'm interviewing my lover and we share a very intimate peek into our relationship and how we fell in love. "Never before discussed on The Infinite Podcast!" In addition to being a  special person in my life, Swig is truly a remarkable being. To name a couple reasons why you're going to want to listen to this episode (and meet him in person!): he creates giant sculptures for Burning Man, he senses subtleties in other peoples' energy fields which lends well to his healing bodywork sessions, he is full of wild, mystical stories (like hearing the voice of God commanding him in the middle of the midnight desert) and he follows "the path of the heart", which has led him to live a very unique and alternative life path. Hope you enjoy this one!
