Here's my conversation with Guillaume Verdon (@GillVerd) aka Beff Jezos (@beffjezos), a physicist, quantum computing researcher, and founder of e/acc (effective accelerationism) movement that advocates for rapid technological progress, physics-based reasoning, and memes. Guillaume & Beff are two fascinating identities co-existing inside one human mind, recently merged. And yes, I did talk to Jeff Bezos and Beff Jezos back-to-back on the podcast, because the most entertaining outcome is the most likely. Happy holidays! ❤ It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.
