They’re definitely worth taking the time to watch, imho. I’ve gone through most of them over the past couple of weeks, and have just a handful more to watch (and will probably skip Kurzweill and the econ/vc ones). My favorites so far have been Schmidhuber, Hutter, Drescher, and Nielsen (Quantum Computing). Anna Saloman’s talks were both very good as well, as was Eliezer’s if you haven’t heard his existential risk and cognitive biases lecture many times before.
By the way, if you haven’t already viewed it, Michael Nielsen’s talk at the singularity summit is fascinating: Quantum Computing: What It Is, What It Is Not, What We Have Yet to Learn.
Ah, thanks for the link. The only summit video I’ve seen before was Jurgen Schmidhuber’s, perhaps I should watch more of ’em.
