Privileged listening to this podcast. Night time listening, at bedtime. Best podcast on KZread, in my opinion.

Wow, and here I thought I was the only one ha ha! Every night as I fall asleep this podcast is playing. What a resource, especially for those wanting to learn quantum physics.

by far the best podcast on youtube. I could say many things about how incredible smart the host and the guests are and how diverse and fun the episodes are. I just wish more people had the chance to listen to this incredible product. I really hope you get more subscribers and viewers

Quite gobsmacked by this conversation. One to return to again and again. Brilliant.

I wish more people listened to you bro. Im a young black guy and just wished my friends enjoyed your podcast so i can theorize with my peers til then... I got you and lex friedman

You can ignore color all you want I wasn't trying to race bait just wishing there was peers in the hood who was interested in things like this. I was always mocked for being intelligent. It's nice to hear intelligent people speak

He's mentioned in a previous podcast that the audio-only setup allows for more convenient interviews where he travels to the guest. Also, camera is big money.

Both of you absolutely nailed the perfect pace with this interview. Kudos, it was thoroughly enjoyable. And you also managed to fold in key tangential digressions... a couple of which are high on my 'pet peeve' list...being: 1) Indeed, one of the most important discoveries we hope to make is the finding and analysis of extraterrestrial life...first and foremost being the microscopic kind (versus the intelligent kind) in search of a possible second genesis. We've only got a handful of opportunities that offer us the hope of such a discovery (Mars, Venus, Enceladus, Europa and maybe Titan). So the willful shitting all over Mars (which, invariably, will happen with a man-mission) is simply too big of a risk to take for the foreseeable future. Mars needs to be protected for the next 200-300 years as we A) continue to send robotic missions in an effort to fully evaluate the entirety of this opportunity, and B) use that interval to develop proper off-planet, best-practices via the Moon; and, 2) Incomprehensible AI discoveries (notwithstanding something that might come from an AGI) and the black-box problem. There literally is no one capable of understanding Alpha Zero and the Go/Chess moves it makes. Most people are oblivious as to how problematic that is. Even if the AI outputs observables that can be cross-checked (e.g., like the weight of a proton), that still leaves us in a precarious position with matters more substantive than a game. Existence in a world of "cuz the machine says so" is super problematic on numerous grounds. Thank you for broaching these matters. It's not done nearly enough.

Love your content. On my 5th time listening to Something Deeply Hidden.

I didn't find this depressing at all! Instead his rational and sensible approach made me hopeful and relaxed in this crazy time of disruption of the whole of society for I'm not sure what reason.

Mind cape! A new subset of podcasts lol

1:01:40 Neurolink is up to the task right now! I think he underestimates the speed of technological progression in this podcast. Sure, we don’t have AGI now, but tech companies are fully committed to create AGI and they aren’t stopping anytime soon.. I’d be very surprised if Moore’s Law doesn’t hold up until we accomplish AGI, and once that happens we will have created one of the most desirable technologies in human history.

05:11 „(the risk) ... when you are exploring a parameter space that’s never been explored by nature itself.“ - But that’s wrong in the case of the LHC? Afaik there were two lines of argument: 1. the universe produces collisions with higher energies all the time, 2. a miniature Black Hole would evaporate immediately anyway; I mean technically his argument was about „unknown unknowns“ and thus still stands, but the way he made it, rubbed me the wrong way. Edit: 19:00 I see, so he mentions it himself, thus restoring my confidence in him^^

How long would it take to cool down Venus by putting some mirrors in front of the planet? Wouldn't it be the planet to terraform rather than Mars?

Crazy foresight into this whole coronavirus thing lol.

Just bringing attention to the misspelling in the title "Mindcape" - not a big deal to me, but it might not be good for the algorithm. Great podcast as usual! wasn't as doom and gloom as I thought it might be before listening.

This was great, except it was missing the discussions on kitty litter and life insurance. Oh well, I'll get over it.

What happens at the coming point in history where the cost and availability of bio engineering inevitably drops to a level within the grasp of a enthusiast when we know that aprox 1% of the population has always been psychopathic? Is it even possible to perfectly prevent and combat Every genetically engineered mass virus released after that point in history?

How topical

Would have been nice to see Sir Rees talk some sense into Sir Freeman Dyson about the risks from climate change.

I just had a dream that Sabine Hossenfelder dressed up like wonder woman, tied me up with her golden lasso, and forced me to deny that MWI is science.

All leaders pander to their lobbyists. This is a ridiculous conversation, and really reveals the non progress these leaders are making other than selling their books. This is not news. Produce results. I do enjoy these and Lex Fridman's podcast. This one does invoke a certain silliness among trusted leaders.

Very poignant podcast

Talks about new technologies being exclusive to the rich seems to ignore the entirety of the history of technology, even when they go on to talk about that history. Cars and computers were once only for the rich. The first cars were driven by rich old white men in top hats. Take a look at the 8-10 lane highways crammed with traffic in LA on any given day of the week. Are they all wearing top hats still? Computers were once only usable by engineers, not only because they were so complicated, but also because they cost so much that you needed the finances of large institutions just to purchase the room or table top sized computers. According to a quick google search you can buy a used iphone for about 80 dollars now. Maybe not everyone can justify buying one, but most of the western world could justify that price. Any iphone is far more powerful and capable than the room sized multi-million dollar original computers. Its funny that people think of the technologies of the far future and then apparently can't imagine a decade or fifty years later when it will be cheap enough for most people.
