The speaker discusses the potential of using quantum mechanical bits in a computer to run an artificial general intelligence program and the misunderstandings around Everett's multiverse version of quantum theory.

The guest imagines a future where we have enough control over individual qubits to use quantum mechanical bits in a computer and run an AGI program that involves the existing theory and an observer, and mystifies why people don't accept the Everett interpretation which simply requires accepting quantum theory.

Quantum Computing
Summary

The introduction of quantum computers have allowed for greater computation and the ability to solve complex algorithms like Shor's algorithm, which factors prime numbers. Moving the theoretical Turing machine to a real quantum computer has expanded computational universality as we know it.
