A documentary about a scientist who thinks time loops are real

The current consensus driving the scale-up of AI data centers rests on two assumptions: The human brain is a biological computer operating without quantum effects. The human brain does not solve computationally "hard" problems (NP-hard / PSPACE); it merely runs efficient heuristic approximations. Under these assumptions scaling classical compute architectures will eventually match biological cognitive capacity. With this in mind I made a documentary. Last summer I followed Henrik Kjeldsen, a Teaching Professor of Biomedical Engineering in Denmark, who argues the assumptions above are…
