Eliezer Yudkowsky and Scott Aaronson - Percontations: Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Mechanics

Sections of the diavlog:

When will we build the first superintelligence?
Why quantum computing isn’t a recipe for robot apocalypse
How to guilt-trip a machine
The evolutionary psychology of artificial intelligence
Eliezer contends many-worlds is obviously correct
Scott contends many-worlds is ridiculous (but might still be true)

Sorry about that. Our first diavlog was better, IMHO, and included some material about whether rationality benefits a rationalist - but that diavlog was lost due to audio problems. Maybe we should do another for topics that would interest our respective readers. What would you want me to talk about with Scott?

I would like to see more discussion on the timing of artificial super intelligence (or human level intelligence). I really want to understand the mechanics of your disagreement.

Ok, that's a weird side-effect of watching the diavlog, now when I read your comments I can hear your voice in my mind.

It's okay. What do you disagree with Scott over? I don't regularly read Shtetl-Optimized, and the only thing I associate with him is a deep belief that P != NP. I don't really know much about his FAI/AGI leanings. I guess I'll go read his blog a bit.
