I think it's been up for a long time on his website as a lecture series. http://www.scottaaronson.com/democritus/

I think he might be simplifying it a little bit. As I understand QM, it's more like probability with complex numbers, rather than with negative numbers.

Yes, he is. Must be for rhetorical purposes, because elsewhere he says exactly that.
