Do you like watching me spout about AI alignment, watermarking, my time at OpenAI, the P versus NP problem, quantum computing, consciousness, Penrose’s views on physics and uncomputability, university culture, wokeness, free speech, my academic trajectory, and much more, despite my slightly spastic demeanor and my many verbal infelicities? Then holy crap are you in luck today! Here’s 2.5 hours of me talking to former professional poker players (and now wonderful Austin-based friends) Liv Boeree and her husband Igor Kurganov about all of those topics. (Or 1.25 hours if you watch at 2x speed, as I strongly recommend.)
But that’s not all! Here I am talking to Harvard’s Hrvoje Kukina, in a much shorter (45-minute) podcast focused on quantum computing, cosmological bounds on information processing, and the idea of the universe as a computer:
Last but not least, here I am in an hour-long podcast (this one audio-only) with longtime friend Kelly Weinersmith and her co-host Daniel Whiteson, talking about quantum computing.
Enjoy!
