Adam Brown โ€“ How Future Civilizations Could Change The Laws of Physics

In fiber optic cables, you reach trouble because they start getting absorbed by the fiber optics after tens of miles.

But in the vacuum, you could, in principle, share quantum entanglement across the universe if you did it right.

You also care about bandwidth and interconnects and things like that.

Adam Brown โ€“ How Future Civilizations Could Change The Laws of Physics

So perhaps the same would be true.

Adam Brown โ€“ How Future Civilizations Could Change The Laws of Physics

I mean, here we're getting into a pretty speculative area, but you could imagine either configuration, either in which you have a huge number of different quantum computers that are talking to each other via...

entanglement networks or in which you just have one big central computer yeah um final question uh timeline to when you are automated as a physicist oh good question um many of the tasks that i might have performed in the past i think are already automated at some level until i am totally out of the picture and no longer necessary um

Adam Brown โ€“ How Future Civilizations Could Change The Laws of Physics

That's probably pretty close to ASI complete.

Adam Brown โ€“ How Future Civilizations Could Change The Laws of Physics

So whatever your timeline for ASI is.

Adam Brown โ€“ How Future Civilizations Could Change The Laws of Physics

Well, I guess the question is always yours.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Adam Brown โ€“ How Future Civilizations Could Change The Laws of Physics

Yeah, I'm squirming somewhat uncomfortably in answer to that question because I'm not totally sure.
