I didn’t know about David Deutsch, thanks for the information!
it’s really a subset of Copenhagen QM, and thus shouldn’t require more or different imagination.
Then perhaps the only advantage is that you don’t have to waste your time worrying “what if my proposed solution is already so big that the wavefunction will collapse before it computes the result”. But to get this advantage, you don’t really have to believe in MWI. It’s enough to profess belief in colapse, but ignore the consequences of that belief while designing algorithms, which is something humans excel at.
