Father Of Quantum Computing: How To Think Like A Genius - David Deutsch - #1164

David Deutsch joins Chris Williamson to discuss his radical ideas on knowledge, error, optimism, and AI. He argues that being wrong is the primary engine of progress, and that certainty is a harmful goal. Deutsch contends that optimism is the most rational worldview because all problems are ultimately soluble with the right knowledge. He also explains why large language models cannot achieve artificial general intelligence, critiques the education system for stifling creativity, and shares his philosophy of the good life centered on seeking truth.
