Maybe you heard about it on Naval‘s podcast, or perhaps you follow the father of quantum computing himself on Twitter. However you’ve become acquainted with the book, join A. Lowell Richardson and other members of the Gödel, Escher, Bach crew in exploring David Deutsch’s acclaimed The Beginning of Infinity, an “exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge.”
Our 15-salon series continues with Chapter 6: The Jump to Universality and Chapter 7: Artificial Creativity. When do incremental improvements in systems of knowledge or technology lead to the jump to universality? Can the jump to universality only happen in digital systems? What is the unsolved philosophical problem at the heart of artificial intelligence? Come discuss these and further questions with other curious minds.
