    … trying to view the whole universe as a big simulation …

    Ding ding ding! We got another simulation hypothesis techbro! All who got bingo raise your hands. Everyone else, better luck next time.

    If you’re trying to embed physics into computation, it’s very natural for you to embed AI into the physics of the world.

    I can’t tell what this is supposed to mean even viewing it through rose-tinted tech optimism goggles. Embed physics into computation? Bro, that’s called “electricity”. Embed AI into physics? OK now you’ve completely lost me.

    [noise is] also a problem if you’re trying to go low power on [illegible] computers, and so what these devices do they use the noise from heat-- the jitteryness of the elctrons-- as an asset rather than a liability.

    But seriously what the hedge is he talking about?

    It’s just some vague buzzwords about using quantum computing (edit: not quantum, based on the follow up video) to embed intelligence into the universe in the most efficient way possible solve unspecified classes of machine learning problems.

      As a physicist whose current specialization is quantum information theory, reading those quotations hurt.

      I think this is even worse as it’s backwards! “Computation” is not a thing, you can’t embed something into it. You can embed computation into physics – that’s what we do, we figured out how to compute stuff in the framework of transistors and electric currents and built a CPU.

      embed physics into computation

      Ok, have I been sniffing glue or is computation not the result of physics?

    There will come a time when the economic tide has receded and we notice that not only were a lot of people swimming naked, they were very very high on drugs too.

    Frankly I’d be more impressed if they had a lab of non-thermodynamic devices.

    Ugh, at least some scams are novel or entertaining.
