8 minutes into the video yet again a physicist who has no idea what a Turing machine is, he claims a Turing machine is like a laptop that cannot self replicate because its tape is symbolic and a von Neumann machine is more like a 3D printer since the memory grid corresponds to a space of atoms.

This is so insane. Every physicist and every other AI speaker needs to please take an actual class or two in 1) computability, and 2) complexity. As in actually read through Sipser or other equivalent textbook and do the homework problems and pass an exam.

To see public speakers openly abuse Alan Turing's own theories/arguments is so offensive and wrong. They would not do this in their own field be it physics or genetics.
