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)

With classical computers Moore's law improves serial and parallel performance simulataneously - by making components smaller.

With quantum computers serial and parallel performance are decoupled - more qubits improves parallel performance and minaturisation has no effect on the number of qubits, but improves serial processing performance. So, there are two largely independent means of speeding up quantum computing. Which one supposedly doubles twice as fast as classical computers? Neither - AFAICS.

Sorry, my original response should have been "yes, you aren't getting into the spirit of the counterfactual."
