What The Bot with Reuben AdamsDavid Deutsch on AGI, Alignment and Existential RiskDavid Deutsch is a phenomenal thinker on AI, Physics and Philosophy. But his views on AI risk puzzled me. So I sat down with him to discuss in more detail why he believes AGIs will pose no greater risk than humans.David Deutsch is author of The Fabric of Reality and The Beginning of Infinity. Both are phenomenal works and thoroughly engrossing. I can't recommend reading them enough.Timestamps:00:00 - Will AIs Be Smarter Than Humans?03:53 - Could Faster AIs Outcompete Us?06:24...

The Do It PodcastThe Fun Criterion, Inner Conflicts, and How the Self Resolves Them — David Deutsch David Deutsch—physicist, pioneer of quantum computation, and author of The Beginning of Infinity and The Fabric of Reality—joins me to discuss fun, learning, and how minds create knowledge. We explore the Fun Criterion: why a sense of “no fun” is best treated as criticism, a signal that something needs improvement, rather than a stop rule or a feeling to chase. Deutsch unpacks conflicts between explicit, inexplicit, and unconscious ideas, and how problems get worked on through conjecture and criticism across different modes of thought and learning. We then zoom out to how ideas “evolve together” inside a mind and why...

EconTalkDavid Deutsch on the PatternA world-class physicist makes a shocking claim: across 2,500 years and every kind of society, there has been a recurring moral exception carved out just for Jews--the idea that hurting Jews is, in some sense, legitimate. Most of the time, this doesn't erupt into pogroms. Instead, it lives as a background permission: a readiness to excuse, minimize, or rationalize harm to Jews when it does occur. Listen as Russ Roberts talks with David Deutsch of Oxford University about what Deutsch calls "the pattern": a persistent, global impulse not primarily to attack Jews, but to justify attacks on Jews--socially, politically, or physic...

Drawing from David Deutsch, I explain 1) the laws of physics, 2) unpredictable actions caused by quantum fluctuations, 3) the unknowability of future knowledge and technologies, and 4) intractable problems that require resources we don’t yet have. The key takeaway is hopeful: anything that doesn’t violate these limits is possible, and human creativity can always find a way forward.Timestamps00:00 Intro01:01 Limit 1: The Laws of Physics02:23 Limits due to a lack of knowledge03:10 Limit 2: Unpred...

When you ask how quantum entanglement works, most interpretations by popular scientists basically reduce to "magic happens." That's not science, that's giving up on our understanding of reality.

Deutsch contrasts this approach with various misconceptions, including justificationism and inductivism, and examines the significance of the Enlightenment in fostering a culture of knowledge creation. He further analyzes concepts such as fallibilism, the limits of biological adaptations, and the implications of quantum physics and the multiverse for our understanding of reality and progress.

Sean Carroll's Mindscape253 | David Deutsch on Science, Complexity, and ExplanationDavid Deutsch is one of the most creative scientific thinkers working today, who has as a goal to understand and explain the natural world as best we can. He was a pioneer in quantum computing, and has long been an advocate of the Everett interpretation of quantum theory. He is also the inventor of constructor theory, a new way of conceptualizing physics and science more broadly. But he also has a strong interest in philosophy and epistemology, championing a Popperian explanation-based approach over a rival Bayesian epistemology. We talk about all of these things and more, including his recent work o...

[They think] what we’re trying to achieve is a bucket full of theories that will be the truth at the end of some period of discovery and that we’ll be able to carry around the bucket and s...

The Unadulterated Intellect#5 – David Deutsch: The Unity Of The UniverseDavid Elieser Deutsch (born 18 May 1953) is a British physicist at the University of Oxford. He is a visiting professor in the Department of Atomic and Laser Physics at the Centre for Quantum Computation (CQC) in the Clarendon Laboratory of the University of Oxford. He pioneered the field of quantum computation by formulating a description for a quantum Turing machine, as well as specifying an algorithm designed to run on a quantum computer. He has also proposed the use of entangled states and Bell's theorem for quantum key distribution and is a proponent of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

The TED InterviewDavid Deutsch on the infinite reach of knowledgeIt can be easy to believe that humans are insignificant. We’re specks of dust on a random planet in a vast universe. Less powerful than elephants. Fewer than ants. But David Deutsch believes that’s all beside the point, because humans possess one unique skill: attaining knowledge. David Deutsch – Oxford professor, father of quantum computing, recluse – convinced Chris years ago to take over leadership of TED with his ideas about knowledge. In this mind-bending conversation, the two dive into his theory that the potential reach of knowledge is infinite. They explore how knowledge first developed, why it sets us apart an...

Made You Think45: More Knowledge, More Problems. The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch"It is inevitable that we face problems but no particular problem is inevitable we survive and thrive by solving each problem as it comes up, and since the human ability to transform nature is limited only by the laws of physics none of the endless stream of problems will ever constitute an impassable barrier" In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and Nat discuss The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch. It's a playful, meandering book on explanations that transform the world, covering evolution, physics, philosophy, politics, ecology, money, memetics, epistemology, history. It ties everything to...

Bio:
David Deutsch is an Oxford Physicist, a pioneer in the field of Quantum Computing, the founder of Constructor Theory, and the author of the books The Fabric of Reality, and The Beginning of Infinity.
Takeaways:
Humans occupy a profound place in the cosmos, because of our “special relationship with the laws of physics”
Human minds have reached a sort of escape velocity. There is nothing in the universe we cannot understand, and noth...
