Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

DNA science. Artificial intelligence. Smartphones and 3D printers. Science and technology have transformed the world we live in. But how did we get here? It wasn’t by accident. Well, sometimes it was. It was also the result of hard work, teamwork, and competition. And incredibly surprising moments. Hosted by bestselling author Steven Johnson (“How We Got To Now”), American Innovations uses immersive scenes to tell the stories of the scientists, engineers, and ordinary people behind the great ...

Get My New Book, Focus Like a Nobel Prize Winner, for Only $ 0.99! This week only: https://a.co/d/hi50U9U
David Deutsch offers his insights into the physics that will impact our future, challenging our new technologies, such as AGI and the development of synthetic humans, as depicted in movies. Join us for this fascinating discussion as we go INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- 00:00:00 – 00:00:39 Could machines experience thoughts and sensations like humans?
- 00:00:45 – 00:01:46 Deutsch argues subjective experiences can arise from any system replicating brain-like processing.
- 00:01:47 – 00:02:25 We never experience the present moment directly but recall slightly delayed interpretations.
- 00:02:25 – 00:03:30 Deutsch views himself as software running on brain hardware, embodiment is mainly computational.
- 00:03:30 – 00:04:37 Loss of physical body parts doesn’t reduce personhood
- 00:04:43 – 00:07:13 Story of “lock-in” from horse’s width shaping space tech leads to analogy about AI hardware lock-in.
- 00:08:10 – 00:09:20 Lock-in may slow progress but creativity ensures no permanent limits.
- 00:09:20 – 00:12:15 Square roots and complex numbers naturally emerge in physics due to algebraic structures of reality.
- 00:12:15 – 00:13:31 Not all mathematical structures are worth exploring—only those relevant to solving physics problems.
- 00:13:31 – 00:17:00 Shift to memetics: persistence of anti-Jewish patterns is deeper than typical memes.
- 00:17:00 – 00:19:26 Pattern predates Christianity; it persists through cultural rationalizations, not simple hatred.
- 00:19:50 – 00:21:23 Discussion of life vs. death choices from Torah portion ties to Deutsch’s book on infinity
- 00:21:44 – 00:22:32 Humanity faces no upper or lower bounds—capable of infinite progress or catastrophic mistakes
- 00:23:36 – 00:24:21 Advice to young self-consider interference processes as a door to quantum computation
- 00:25:16 – 00:26:13 Deutsch admits past mistakes—initially misjudged multiverse explanations and free will
- 00:27:08 – 00:28:08 David redefines free will as the ability to create objectively new knowledge.
- 00:28:14 – 00:28:41 AGI programs will have free will once true AI is achieved.
- 00:29:02 – 00:29:18 Conclusion
