causal claim
In the Maxwell’s demon thought experiment, the demon would need to delete some of the information it gathers; the energy required for deletion would cause entropy to increase.

In their words
The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“they have access to so much information by doing this thing he's doing that he'd have to delete some and when deleting information he'd have to spend energy which would then make sure entropy increases so even though we're not at the level where we can be Maxwell's demon I think your question is like very visionary towards like a future where we store so much data we have to delete some”Play from 27:57Report a misattribution
