Listen to this guy! I'm 40, married, with three children and decided to go back to school only a couple years ago. I graduate next spring but it has generally been a very stressful and difficult uphill climb. Don't wait until you're older to pursue your dreams. Those if you in your 20s and are reading this, pursue your dreams while you are young, have no responsibilities (mortgage, family, etc.), and while your energy is at its peak. Don't procrastinate, don't put it off, and never prioritize pleasure over purpose. Also, like he said, your friends will make or break you. Be careful who you run with- don't let others discourage you or talk you out of something you really want to do. Arvind is an inspiration to us all!
Energy levels do reduce in your 40s. You definitely have reduced intellectual stamina I find. That being said you can still learn stuff. But not as well as you can in your teens and twenties.
Very grounded, very wise, very intelligent, quite technical, lots of GK and minimum self promotion... Not many guest boast that sort of combination, even the big hitters! Wish Aravind loads of luck!
Congratulations Mr. Srinivas. You built something truly of value and improved speed of learning for billions of people worldwide. Hats off and bravo to you.
Being an initial user of Quora, I feel like they could have gotten here way before Perplexity, but didn't. Aravind's vision seems very aligned with what Quora back in the day was like without an AI, you search and it would give you a summary and the top n relevant answers based on statistical ranking of an answer by other humans. It also had related questions which were asked.
Quote that brought me here: "Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity, played a jarring mix of great founder and idiot disaster monkey on Lex Fridman. The parts where he describes the practical business of Perplexity are great, assuming he is not making things up. Then he will speculate about a future full of powerful AI agents doing everything, and say ‘I am not worried about AIs taking over’ as a throwaway line and get back to talking about other things, or say that open sourcing is the way to go because most people won’t have enough compute to do anything dangerous with the models." :)
Aravind is a great guest!! AI is just ridiculous at this point... so many amazing things it can do.. Chat GPT, Synesthesia, Lemon AI, etc.... it's just ridiculous
Phind is better, but Perplexity has a better UI. Their Pro version is really good, but who in their right mind would want to pay for $20 a month for something like that?
Perhaps the only interview which I would never mind coming back to and watching all 3 hours of it, while replaying a few sections every single time. Aravind's clarity of thought and ideas that are backed up by extensive research and solid historical data are just exhilarating.
I never listened to Aravind before but your words hit hard and very relatable on so many level . Great advice for people like us who are trying to find a light at the end of tunnel! Well done podcast.
@Aravind Srinivas thank you for Perplexity. i just downloaded the app and it is a breath of fresh air to receive a direct answer and a relevant path to pursue for further information
I love the way Aravind established his business purpose here … evident from the use of word ‘Knowledge’, ‘learn’ which ties to the objective of their business … #inspiring
The clarity and simplicity with which Arvind speaks, tells a lot about how determined he is to achieve his goal rather than only playing with consumers and money, like some of the biggest tech leaders Sa....
I have been using perplexity for sometime. It really has really bought in some intense competition in a complacent market place. The winner is the consumer.
The depth and technical knowledge he has over AI and Machine Learning is almost superhuman. He's probably going to be the next Elon or Sergey. What a prodigy! One of the best podcast I have listened to in a long time. I had to stop and search every 10-15 seconds, and came back smarter. It's easily one of the densest podcast with so much knowledge compressed. Love it 👏
Enjoyed the talk; hours just zoomed by. Resonated with the guest’s relentlessness on ingenuity and humanity, and both’s unpretentious exchange. The host, as always was astute in grasping the other party, and offered on-point response!
"I don't know" is even hard for humans to say....,. So far I really like Perplexity - I didn't even know everything was vetted by literature references - that explains certain aspects..... very cool.
For me the way to use search engine's, mainly google search, is by searching for the webpages on the subject in the search. Not looking for the search to give the anwsers but for sites which contain the information about the thing for which I have questions.
I subscribed to the Pro version. And have basically never used Google to search for anything again. If only the average human knew how this tool could benefit them.
@@shwetagk5362 I think it’s an adoption problem. If people could magically use it for a week, they might get it and see that it might work well for them. Especially when searching on your phone for answers to literally anything
Fell asleep before this came on, no joke had a dream about how advanced AI will be in just a couple years. World panic. Woke up and re-watched this!! Amazing podcast
One thing we always miss here is the cost of each query in an LLM. For instance if you are using RAGs you will end up calling LLMs and also GPUs for indexing and retrieval. We need to reduce this cost .
I would like to say that I find your podcast and your voice quite calming, almost soothing. By the way, the only starburst I buy is that one, the new can brew coffee, vanilla flavor is my go to cold brew can coffee beverage.
Can't wait to listen! Perplexity is my favorite tool at the moment. It's a huge time saver & seems like a whole new landscape opened up in front of me!
Did this man just mention Einstein in the first 5 seconds of the video Introduction ??? After a long time in the IT industry, I finally feel it's time my time to brighten and share valuable information/Content with the World, for 0 Costs. **Einstein's BFF** is what my YT Banner literally says, exactly that was the feeling I was experiencing in Rabbit Holes... Mr. Lex, I think they deserve uppercase as legit Names does. :). Big Motivation if you ask me. Thank you Arvind.🚀 Thank you Lex.🚀 Special thanks to all the people 🚀 who enjoy digging Rabbit Holes!
I tested this engine by asking it to give a general biography of me. It falsely stated that I was the host of a particular podcast. I had been a guest on that podcast once but was not and am not the host. It also falsely cited me as the author of a scientific paper while ignoring many other publications that it could have cited. I would say that based on this brief analysis it is in early beta mode if the CEO is suggesting it returns "academic" information, meaning that it cites sources. If the sources are incorrect then it is no more useful (academically) than other AI engines, which often return false citations or attributions.
insightful and thought provoking podcast! I stopped at relevance of query against raw data collected from Oracle Forums. After listening to him, I really want to get back to my pet project from last year.
Really enjoying this talk! I appreciate people like this individual who are so generous in providing us with insight as to the meticulous work required to get to clean AGI. It is also refreshing to not hear things of a NSFW nature in these talks. There is something uncomfortably wrong about judging someone based on their dipping into subject matter that is best left for us to privately deal with and analyze for improvement towards the good.
Guy with a clear genius complex. These tech startup types will do the most basic engineering, rack up vc capital, and call themselves revolutionary. Damn aravavindi, bravo
There are tons of services like Perplexity. Their latest update which converts ai summaries of SERP results (this is what they do basically) to AI articles, hosted on their website. This shows a deadend in innovation and is basically a parasite SEO strategy. The CEO is super active recently with interviews which is a sign the business growth flattened and saturated, and they are preparing for the next investment round. Good luck fighting Google and Bing on their ground with a model practically owned by Microsoft
The guy has answered the questions in a pretty straightforward way. Plus he's not just an engineering graduate like you've implied, he has a doctorate. You seem to form your opinions based on a lot of preconceived notions and preexisting biases.
I was off put initially, there was just too many ill delivered analogies taken from the greatest founders. But when I heard him talk about the mechanics of the models that's when I realized he's extremely knowledgable.
I just tried using perplexity to price compare three different grocery items between two websites (Walmart and Meijer). First I only gave it product names, it could only find prices for a few items on it's own. Second I gave direct links to the items at each store, even with the links it was pulling the wrong prices off the pages. Third I told it the correct prices for each item. Fourth I asked for it to summarize the prices of all three items combined between the two websites, it forgot the prices for two of the items, I had to remind it to scroll back and reference what it already knew. Guess it wasn't built for this, but would've been neat if it worked, especially if it worked on the first try.
First you only gave it product names: prices on items, especially grocery items, differ widely throughout the world. Second you gave it direct links: meaning you asked it to find something you already knew. And it would still search all of it's available information, not just your "direct links". Third: you've gone insane by this point. Fourth: Again, it searches all available information. Ask better questions. ❤ It works better than you think.
No I agree with you. I like perplexity as a product.... no I love it lol but only for specific use cases. For example, it's reaaaaallly good at finding youtube videos that i have had trouble finding again on UA-cam after forgetting the video title or the channel name.
hello Lex, I came here to tell you that you still have so much time to go out and build something amazing. Im sure you can take pride in the fact that you can probably drop everything you are doing to start something tomorrow, if your heart was really there. Besides, imo the best approach today is to build an audience first before offering a product. so either way, to me it looks you truly have the best of both worlds 🎉
@@artrdl2114that is true as well, I am myself an Indian expat, and I can confirm that, I can say that about half of the ones inside the country as well 😂😂
31:37 as a 10+ SEM/SEO Expert that have worked at google i must said that this is a really interesting conversation. Some things can be debatible but still its a good starting point into SEO/SEM
Getting knowledge and information to the people faster than ever before. Yes yes making a better world. You guys are awesome. Yes let’s fix the internet with ai.
Hes book smart,but mental he sounds weak, W dwelling on nonsense, with much worry and anxiety.. Look!! Life is short, Keep positive and confidence! About!! Just do it!! Gd luck! "People"!!
Wishes for guests: (1) an economists talking about the future of AI,human labor and UBI ; (2) an AI researcher talking about datasets, censorship and how it affects the skills of a model (and could something similar be true for humans and societies?)
@@hayekianman With your question formulated like that (and by that I mean "passive-aggressively"), I don't think you want a discussion, but here's a definition and maybe you can find your own answer: economics - the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and >>>transfer of wealth

everyone becomes a robot on your podcast , your vibes are infectious
❤👍Obsessed with AI related videos, would be really amazing to see you create playlists of AI related content (content from your channel)
We need something in Real-Time 😅..
Great episode thanks! FYI at some point mentioned Aravind mentions NavBoost but the transcript tagged it as "Now Boost"
Listen to this guy! I'm 40, married, with three children and decided to go back to school only a couple years ago. I graduate next spring but it has generally been a very stressful and difficult uphill climb. Don't wait until you're older to pursue your dreams. Those if you in your 20s and are reading this, pursue your dreams while you are young, have no responsibilities (mortgage, family, etc.), and while your energy is at its peak. Don't procrastinate, don't put it off, and never prioritize pleasure over purpose. Also, like he said, your friends will make or break you. Be careful who you run with- don't let others discourage you or talk you out of something you really want to do. Arvind is an inspiration to us all!
I'm in the same boat, and completely agree with you.
well said ✔👍
Amen brother.
If you don't have kids, it's actually much easier to study when you're older, but off course you need to be driven.
Energy levels do reduce in your 40s. You definitely have reduced intellectual stamina I find. That being said you can still learn stuff. But not as well as you can in your teens and twenties.
this dude is extremely smart. One of the best AI related conversation with techicalities and not just whinning about safety
Both are very smart.
Probably anyone else is actually busy. Or doesn't want to help the competition
There is a strong possibility that humans simply cannot safely create AGI.
If that is the case, then it won't be considered "whining".
Part of his brain is AI-implanted. He volunteered. See related vid.
do you work in the tech industry?
The way Aravind thinks is truly incredible, one of the best I've seen on the Lex Fridman Podcast. Definitely one of the great leading thinkers of AI.
Very grounded, very wise, very intelligent, quite technical, lots of GK and minimum self promotion...
Not many guest boast that sort of combination, even the big hitters!
Wish Aravind loads of luck!
You studied in India, didn't you??

now this is a podcast guest. Stellar.
He's full of bull... But sure
This was terrible 😂

Definitely one of the better recent podcasts guests! Enjoying it now :)
Boring as all hell to listen to.
Man I had to listen to this multiple times not to miss any part of it. What a guy. His depth of understanding is mind-blowing.
Feels good to see an Indian not just becoming CEO but also being a founder of a disruptive tech company
Who cares

@@marial3231Indians
There are a lot of Indian CEOs but they are not founders. This is the first founder I have come across
I just learned of Perplexity from this. This is brilliant. Thank you both /all.
YES I LOVE PERPLEXITY. Pro user since May of last year and how far it's come in that time period is amazing. Where knowledge begins.
Try Kognitium.
Do you use it instead of chatGPT?
It does make up citations sometimes though
Congratulations Mr. Srinivas. You built something truly of value and improved speed of learning for billions of people worldwide. Hats off and bravo to you.
thank u sir.
I couldn't have said it better
Perplexity works so well➡

Perplexity is my current go to for any searches and I get the best result there by far compared to any other way of searching
How much are you paying?
Phind is better, but Perplexity has a better UI. Their Pro version is really good, but who in their right mind would want to pay for $20 a month for something like that?
@@SahilP2648 Who wouldnt? I already do lol, its so good, id pay 100 $ a month tbh.
@@SahilP2648Not me, but those for whom infirmation search is daily work it could make sense. Not that i know thise who pay. I pay for chatgpt instead
People pay $20per for streaming services
Lex fridman talking to technologists is why I started listening to the podcast
Perhaps the only interview which I would never mind coming back to and watching all 3 hours of it, while replaying a few sections every single time. Aravind's clarity of thought and ideas that are backed up by extensive research and solid historical data are just exhilarating.
This just became one of my all time favourite interviews. Such high quality conversation. Thank you!❤
same with me
I am enjoying the bearded Lex era
I'm enjoying still being alive.
the depth and existential nature of this conversation and this is the top comment. 😂
in his beard era 🙏
@@Benjaminduduu you know we were all thinking it
The Amazon changes a man
All HAIL THE BEARDED LEX ERA . I feel like I’m witnessing history before my eyes as you grow out your stubble after your jungle adventures!

He's way more loose and fluid too
I never listened to Aravind before but your words hit hard and very relatable on so many level . Great advice for people like us who are trying to find a light at the end of tunnel! Well done podcast.

Lex took ayahuasca and the beard has stayed. ❤️
LOL
😂❤ I love the beard!
My foo is trippin ballz hard
his virginity is in peril if he keeps that beard...
😅
I find listening to lex and guests sooo soothing to my ear and mind. Particulaly love listening during my long or more run. I love your work Lex!
I have been using perplexity for sometime. It really has really bought in some intense competition in a complacent market place. The winner is the consumer.
Thank you for having him on the podcast!
The depth and technical knowledge he has over AI and Machine Learning is almost superhuman. He's probably going to be the next Elon or Sergey. What a prodigy! One of the best podcast I have listened to in a long time. I had to stop and search every 10-15 seconds, and came back smarter.

Wow! Only five minutes in and this guy gives great vibes all around … How have I never heard of this?
Enjoyed the talk; hours just zoomed by. Resonated with the guest’s relentlessness on ingenuity and humanity, and both’s unpretentious exchange. The host, as always was astute in grasping the other party, and offered on-point response!
Aravind sounds like an LLM trained on all the public comments by technology billionaires.
😂🎉
He uses a lot of their vocabulary but he sounds much more sincere, in my estimation.
The Tech acumen on Aravind is just stupendous.
works like a charm!I use Perplexity to upload my CV, paste a job description and get it to write me a cover letter. Works like a charn!
I was just doing that with chat gpt a few days ago but perplexity seems like a much better tool I'm exited to give it a try
@@Past10Performance Yes, I have almost stopped using chatgpt
Great podcast. Aravind is an inspiration for other Indian Tech Founders like us.
Arvind is great into technical and wont take the cue of humour. Tgis guy is truly knowledgeable
The greatest mathematician of last 3 century Mr. Srinivasan Ramanujan,
"I don't know" is even hard for humans to say....,.
So far I really like Perplexity - I didn't even know everything was vetted by literature references - that explains certain aspects..... very cool.
It returned incorrect references to me.
Love that “your margin is my opportunity” transcends a lot of business industries
That's a statement by Jeff Bezos one of the early investor in Perplexity .
have a few tabs with perplexity opened rn and basically all the time, so great job!
Thanks for having Aravind on 👍 Good to teach people smart stuff
For me the way to use search engine's, mainly google search, is by searching for the webpages on the subject in the search. Not looking for the search to give the anwsers but for sites which contain the information about the thing for which I have questions.
love this guy. so clear, articulate. simplifies ridiculous complexity so everyone can understand it. Rooting for perplexity!
When there are so many cherries on the cake, you may have to ask yourself whether you are baking a cake, or in fact making a cherry pie.
Lex Fridman, the genius who can talk to everyone, no matter how smart or genuine they are. I covet that level of social skills.
I subscribed to the Pro version. And have basically never used Google to search for anything again. If only the average human knew how this tool could benefit them.
Do not underestimate humans :) I thinks it’s a distribution problem.
How could it benefit them for their business ?

Another Indian putting on a stellar display of intellect! Indian lads are damn brilliant, all they lack is tools.
This human is more casual than lex:). Most casual convo all time about complex topics. Perplexity is doing so well. Great get!
Used preplexity recently and loved it very much. I think Aravind and his team on really on great trajectory.
Lex, I absolutely love the new beard! Lends you an artful dignity in appearance. Rather fitting :)
There's a silent sense of feud between Lex Fridman and Aravind Srinivas. I love it, I want to see arguments more in the future.

truly great interview and one of the best recently about AI.
Thanks Lex and Aravind, this has been a remarkable revelation for me.
Perplexity blows the doors off Google for search. Nobody (but Aravind) apparently could see that Google was perfectly poised for disruption.
For sure. Wikipedia wont be able to compete either, especially became it isnt accurate

Lex is to podcast what AI is to technology .Blessed to have him around to keep us curious 🙏
Wow you didn’t have to go for his throat like that. What a hater
How does Perplexity differ from Bing Copilot?
This is one of the best AI conversations in June 2024

There should be awards for guests in such episodes.
This person is very smart. Good interview
He also works at MIT and with robotics, so I'd expect so.

@@harveydoherty6995 Worst poem ever. Don't quit your day job at the Sadatorium.
@@Kube_Dog boo
@@DonG-1949 That doesn't scare anyone.
Wishes for guests: (1) an economists talking about the future of AI,human labor and UBI ; (2) an AI researcher talking about datasets, censorship and how it affects the skills of a model (and could something similar be true for humans and societies?)
UBI? its a govt policy. whats that got to do with economics
@@hayekianman With your question formulated like that (and by that I mean "passive-aggressively"), I don't think you want a discussion, but here's a definition and maybe you can find your own answer:
economics - the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and >>>transfer of wealth

Always try and ask the right questions.
