AI and Quantum Computing: Glimpsing the Near Future

I got here by accident, i stayed on purpose...

This is about 7x more interesting than I expected

First time hear Eric speaks scientifically. Now I understand why Google was so successful. His understanding the progress in AI is the deepest and the logical I ever heard. Impressed!

Eric is oddly very, very proud of having been friends with Henry Kissinger. A very sharp and clever mind with a glaring blind spot!

One of the most interesting episodes of World Science Festival, ever.

This guy was at Princeton 50 years ago? That is some very effective anti-aging treatment.

Eric went from fighting the man to being best friends with Henry Kissinger. What a transformation.

This aspect of learning is like the old reading. Marvellous. I got 'stuck' in certain subjects & didn't progress within those subjects. Once I left School & continued my education whilst working, I eventually reached my goal.

Eric Schmidt is a Great Communicator! You know Eric is wicked smart when he has Brian saying "scary" multiple times.

This is one of your best interviews Brian! You did a remarkable job eliciting incredible insights from your guest. Thank you 🙏

Tbh... it is a little rough to listen to a scientist actually say "Henry Kissinger was my best friend..." Oh man, that is rough. It is possible that he would be one of the 10 most evil people in American history. I have a hard time understanding how someone who can be so brilliant and objective could form a relationship with a such darkness? I am gonna do my best to move on from that sentence, and hopefully me venting here will be enough so I don't do the typical thing and dismiss someone just because we have different values. There is still a lot to learn here, and I am telling myself "don't allow my own personal politics to interfere with expanding my knowledge of the universe". Ok, vent over. Hopefully I can be more mature and appreciate this for what it is.

This guy scares me. Alarm bells when I hear a close friend of Henry Kissinger, productivity, economic growth etc. .Prof Brian's question about becoming the big man is such an excellent one that I don't think he managed to get an honest answer to

One of the most phenomenal discussions on AI to date.

One of the most interesting discussions I have heard about this technology and it's potential impacts. Eric Schmidt is an extraordinary and perceptive man. Thanks Brian.

Great conversation! 🔭🚀🛰️🪐

There is an underlying very simplistic view of good and bad in many parts of this discussion.

Amazing conversation, thanks for sharing.

Such clear and concise chat. Eric was a close friend with Henry Kissinger (a war criminal). Interesting.

Really incredible conversation... so much knowledge, so much to think about. Thanks for putting it together Brian!

The last thing we want is a virtual Kissinger! We had to wait for decades until that PoS kicked the bucket
