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)
Thumbs up to Eliezer Yudkowsky for getting around to giving some actual timescales. They are incredibly vague timescales - but it is still a tricky thing to estimate the difficulty of - so that's OK, I guess.
