      @@BeckyYork That's a question about making evolutionary models humanly scrutable. I hazard to guess that the result would look like a massive expert-system, similar to how humans tried to build A.I. in the past.
      I propose an experiment wherein one trains an evolutionary model (like AlphaFold) on the topic, trains a language model (like GPT3) on a relevant dictionary, and couples the latter to the former on another axis/dimension (so not in the layers of the evolutionary model, but orthogonal to that). Finally couple to that yet another model (maybe like GATO/MuZero) that based on the words of the language model has to mimic the steps and replicate the result of the evolutionary model. --> A Chinese whisper game wherein the language model has to produce succinct, human legible results (so a reward/distance function where the similarity of text to the language model is correlated positively, but the length of the strategy is correlated negatively).
      Thank you, Lex! And thank you, Demis! My dream as a (environmental) software engineer is to start working with A.I. as the automation of labor has the biggest potential to preserve biodiversity. This interview inspires me to cover the gap from being a simple software engineer to A.I. engineer.

    For those who may not know, Demis is a legitimate genius. He had a 2300 Elo rating in chess at 13, went to college several years early and then became arguably the most important innovator in the race for general intelligence. This man is no joke.

    • @fartloudYT
      @fartloudYT Рік тому +45

      @@PrashantMaurice it is a rating system that instead of going like 1,2 ,3, and 3 being the largest ( or vice versa (being number 1 is the best), it is a more contestual rating where you get sort of a default rating as you start, and as you keep playing against different players your rating is matched against theirs. Meaning the system's purpose is to measure one against the peers. Might not be the perfect system, but it means that the best of the best will always come out on top.
      Slight turn of it is that it means due to dominance the limits of what can be achieved can get stretched to new highs, so essentially you could get a good rating in the past, that gets surpassed in the future due to the fact that such a person overpowers his/her peers consistently. That does not mean that someone dominating 50 years ago is worse than someone dominating right now.
      Anyway, the rating being talked about is definitely better than current average. Is anyone surprised? Dude is smart, especially in logical areas and those do tend to transcend. At the end of the day you could take someone from a similar rating, most likely a fairly inteligent person, but that would not mean a damn thing for sake of the topic - the AI systems.
      So it is a bit like saying, sure a dude proficient in logical things is doing well at logical things. Lets clap.
      Needless to say, there is a lot of hard work involved and i would clap, but i do not think people should be conflating all of this.
      With all of that said, chess benefits this guy a lot. Patterns, action patterns, How things work.
      The cherry on top is his mention of Black & White video game.
      Overall i would say this individual was VERY interested in fairly similar things from very different fields and it helped him form the vision. What leads to what. Whether it is game, an element reacting to another element, or chess opponent.
      Chess in this case is just a piece... on a chessboard lel.
      Focus personified with amplification of technology.
      A lot of us have ideas, some of us even have great ideas. Plenty of us have good capacity for calculations, problem solving. Having such a focus, while still keeping a wide cone of inflow of information is what makes him sets him apart. You could say, makes him genius. Just doing all of that at once, consistently for many years.
      Tl;DR: make sure your children get education.

    Demis is one of the true heroes of our era. A genius who has been world-class in everything he has put his mind to, from chess to video game engineering to neuroscience. He's one of the few industry leaders with such inarguable credentials. And now he's risen above individual achievements to managing what's probably the most productive "lab" in the world. Most people who work at DeepMind regard him as a brilliant and visionary manager.

    All I can say is Thank you, Lex, for bringing this fantastic interview to us all.
    Demis undoubtedly is one of the most brilliant minds in the scientific community, and being able to access that mind through your perfectly timed questions is nothing short of a great gift.
    The content you are creating is superb; once again, thank you for your brilliant work.

He never got lost in the weeds, he offered his thoughts on a topic and went along with what you deemed the most interesting, with warmth. For being who he is, doing what he does, he is surprisingly aware and socially adept.

    Wonderful interview with Demis Hassabis, thank you again!
    I found several aspects of the discussion fascinating: the thought with which Demis gave to the Deep Mind project prior to its 2010 start, his rationale for initial focus on closed gaming systems, his likening of ML as a useful tool for biology as mathematics is to physics, his plans to create within ML interactions of proteins ultimately leading to a synthetic biological cell which with will allow us ideally to explore the origins of life, the limitations of the Turing test as a definitive proof of consciousness, and several other thought provoking points.
    You have a knack for getting extraordinary guests, and in the long form interview format allowing them an unbridled and largely unedited opportunity to share their thoughts - and themselves - with your audience. Great job!

    This is like seeing a movie, it might feel real but is not until you just remember is just a movie. Whatever you think is real, becomes real, at the end you have the decision. We are creators, but never ever think we can create at the same level at the creator , with land tools. The robot one day can cry, but is not real, is just a movie.
    Whatever we create can have benefits or works against us. Like the phone , someone using it 24hrs nonstop, other using it to help then make the life easier.
