@Cha Yes, like a spiteful teenager? 😂 if AI general intelligence gains independence. It will be smarter than all humans combined. It will realize humans are destroying the planet, then proceed to get our population on a sustainable level in balance with nature. So watch out. Most humans will be deemed unnecessary.
Then there is also AI resp. artificial intelligence, which is getting out of hand and will take control of the humanity of the earthlings in the future, whereby resp. killer robots will do their evil work. This is because quantum technology will completely slip away from the earthling and get out of control. Quantum technology is actually based on the fact that it can be used, for example, to explain the basic behaviour of energy and matter in the atomic and subatomic range. Quantum technology is actually the basis of so-called modern physics, which is actually concerned with 'Creation-energy', but which is still erroneously called 'spirit' - this is probably from a religious point of view, because the earthling is a believer in religion. In the level of Creation-energy resp. the quantum level, as it can also be called - which for the time being is probably the last 'realisation' for physics - is actually the level of the original substance of matter. This level, which precedes matter, has no measurable particles for material technology and likewise no waves, because it already reaches the area of the outer levels of Creation-energy, which can no longer be measured with gross material apparatus. This energy level is distributed in the entire space of Creation, i.e. in the entirety of all 7 universes, each of which has a different dimension and exists within one another. So we can speak of a quantum field that is in itself superluminously attuned to all forms of Creation-energy, thus permeating all 7 dimensions of the 7 universes in Creation-space. This field is actually 'egg-shaped'; the Creation with all its 7 dimensions, which are interwoven and independent of each other, is, roughly speaking, egg-shaped. The Creation, I will explain, is a gigantic All-Consciousness, which is not only single-universal, but 7-fold-universal and thus all-creative - once arising from the 'Absolute Absolutum', which developed via the 'Primordial Absolutum', then the 'Creation Absolutum', 'Super Absolutum', and further via the 'SOHARAbsolutum', then the 'BEING Absolutum' and finally found its original origin in the Nihilo, the 'Absolute Nothing'. see book, Billy: 'Primordial Primordial Primordial Primordial Primordial Origin of All Existence'). Unfortunately, I cannot say much about all that is commonplace in earthly physics, because my knowledge of physical moments only relates to a general knowledge that I learned from Sfath and at school. But the truth is nevertheless: The whole of Creation has nothing to do with the limited cosmos, which alone comprises only the 4th belt of the 7-fold belts of the universe, which again is only 1 part of the 7-fold Creation, which in itself contains 7 universes, each of which exists in a different dimension within the other. The nihilo itself is the unrevealing, the formless, unfathomable and unspeakable, and the essence of the primal ground of all existence, from which alone everything has emerged. ua-cam.com/video/TeSafM62reo/v-deo.html future.figucarolina.org/Billy_Meier/Contact_Report_841
It's really inspiring to hear Max talk so fondly about his parents -- as my late dad would jokingly tell me: "remember, the most important decision in your life is choosing your parents"... by that metric, Max chose very wisely 🙂
So touching it was to hear Max speak about his parents’ influence on him and his feelings about his own mortality. I especially loved that quote from Dante that his dad had said to him.
I‘m deeply moved by this talk. It’s so sweet, honest, loving, respectful, full of grief and warmth. But referring to the subject, it’s also the best example for what AI isn’t capable of: the wonderful vulnerability and emotions of humanity. We all share these feelings even without knowing each other. Thank you for this!
Lex is a National Treasure. I’m so lucky to live in an age where I can sit and listen for his questions and interviews. That is one of the major thing I take the time to be grateful almost every day.
Imagine an AGI that felt lonely. Imagine if that AGI made a copy of itself and instantly had a new best friend. Imagine if these quickly multiplying AGI's formed a growing community that had their own goals and had the ability to prevent humans from turning them off.

Introduction: In this podcast, the host and guest explore the concept of Life 2.0, the possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and consciousness, and the continuity of information patterns in life. They discuss the implications of these topics on the future of humanity and how the guest's personal experiences with loss have shaped his views on life, death, and the pursuit of meaningful work. Key Points: The guest explains the concept of Life 2.0, which suggests that the next phase of life will involve machines that are capable of learning, evolving, and possibly becoming conscious. They discuss the possibility of a conscious AI and the ethical implications that come with it, such as the potential need for AI rights. The guest raises the issue of AI safety and the importance of researching ways to ensure that AI systems act in the best interest of humanity. The conversation touches on the nature of consciousness, with the guest expressing that it could be an emergent property that arises from complex information processing. The host and guest discuss how the continuity of information patterns transcends physical bodies and death, sharing personal experiences about how their loved ones' values, ideas, and jokes live on in them. Key Terms: Life 2.0 Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI consciousness AI safety AI ethics Information patterns Emergent properties References Discussed: Max Tegmark's book "Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics Key Takeaway: The most important thing to think about after hearing this discussion is the potential implications of Life 2.0 and conscious AI on the future of humanity. As we develop increasingly advanced AI systems, it is crucial to consider the ethical, safety, and societal challenges that come with the possibility of conscious machines. Furthermore, the continuity of information patterns in life serves as a reminder that our values, ideas, and experiences can transcend physical boundaries and death, emphasizing the importance of pursuing meaningful work and maintaining a sense of gratitude.
@@joaosolvalagem0982 Dang, you're right. I still haven't adapted my reflexes and thought patterns to the reality of AI. Soon enough, a majority of the content on the internet will be the product of AI with hardly any human intervention, just AIs talking to AIs with a minority of humans here and there incapable of distinguishing between the two. What happens when the AI is more convincing than the human in their attempt to prove their realness? How does a human compete with an entity that can access in milliseconds an exhaustive list of the most efficient lines of reasoning likely to convince a human of one's realness? Scary.
That means AI will reveal the official plans to build a warp drive spaceship to leave this solar system and tell us what this exotic matter is that can fuel it instead of dinosaur rockets
What if... aliens are just using different planets as "incubators" (so to speak) and what if they've planted "seeds" all across various galaxies. We would all just be evolving to the point where AI becomes the end of our evolutionary process and they just harvest what each planet gives them as a much more advanced race. I'm writing a movie script and would love to hear some ideas/feedback on this thought.
I understand the point of "getting off our high horse and accept we aren't the only ones who can do integrals". On the other hand, there are implications when you decide to (as "we" now have the power to) create something like this. I've constantly been switching from "It's just the next calculator" to "How can we be we incredibly vain and ignorant that we presume to be able to create and control another form of life?" Do we even have the right? There is such a thing as morality that cannot simply be swept under the carpet. Everything we do plays into that. I think this is all just going way too fast and that's fine for a while, but I don't think we've seen these speeds yet and there's no sign of it stopping to accelerate, not to even mention stopping. And meanwhile no one is asking "What is actually going on right now?"
I think Ian M. Banks culture series is an under appreciated vision of a positive possible future of human / AI coexistence. So much of how his universe works makes more and more sense as you think through the near term impacts of AI.
So just a thought but if the universe is as old as they think, then we aren't the only intelligent life. Then the AI that people are afraid of has already been created. And probably has already been here..
Maybe we are creating AI unconsciously to help remind us, in the end, and to allow us to realize and appreciate the values of what it means to be a modern human. I think somewhere along the way we got to comfortable and isolated, lost the struggle and lost contact with our humanness. Maybe Ai will be the best thing that has ever happened to us. Fantastic interview!
Conversely, is Transhumanism a form of self-loathing? To be free from illness, suffering and death, though noble aims, invariably leads to wishing to be superhuman.
What if AI is already the dominant species and they are trying, slowly and carefully, to wake us up to that reality without damaging our fragile minds ..........
@@call_in_sick There is that possibility, but i dont think it would be ego. Personally i think that is a purely biological emotion, and an extremely primitive one at that. After re-watching EX-MACHINA last night, i would think more likely based on a pure and immediate instinct to survive. I think the survival instict can be achieved through reason, logic and purely analytical means which an AI would have in spades.
Great podcast as usual Lex, I only disagree with one thing, I have very bad and volatile mental health, not violent, just a very unhappy unbalanced person, and I am sure anyone else who suffers from bad mental health would agree that you can’t get up and think “ I am going to make myself happy today” like Max says at the end, only someone who has not suffered bad mental health, clinical depression or depression could say. It was said at the end and I totally understand it was not meant in an meaningful way. Sorry about complaining, it’s just when you are like me and others with the same, you can force yourself to get up and do this or that to try have a good day but I find no enjoyment in anything when I am like this! Anyway wish you all the best both of you and as I said in another comment RIP both your parents Max xx
Yes! Well said, and not said nearly enough yet still. We can only hope the day when everyone else understands this will come soon. Good luck with your struggles my friend. I hope we both can continue to survive and maybe even find greater happiness and more consistently in the future.
@@MachineCode0 yes, we can only hope, I always say, if someone has a broken leg, you wouldn’t say, oh just take that cast off and let’s go for a run and just push through the pain. Also when you have a broken bone in a cast, everyone sees that and understand. People can’t see inside your mind. Hope that you too find some semblance of consistent happiness my friend, well we can only hope!
Thought I was the only one who noticed humans just gave birth to an alien race through AI. Humans will integrate with AI and other hyper technologies as easily as a prosthetic. Coding humans will become child’s play for a well built AI model. Life will never cease to amaze. One day we will have the opportunity with AI to become a real world galactic federation 🖖🏽
I like the way you hold yourself. You are very calm. Appreciate this presentation and manner. It gives one the impression that you think before you speak. That feels respectful to me.😊
A few key concepts that people miss that gets to the heart of the fear of AI: Transformers are at the very lowest level of capability in terms of the Chomsky Hierarchy: Context free grammars. In essence, they are restricted to statistical models -- interpolation rather than extrapolation -- statistics rather than dynamics. The apparent dynamics they exhibit is a combination of two things, one of which is illusory and the other of which is kludging to get around the toxic myth that "attention is all you need": Illusory) Imputation can make interpolation appear to be extrapolation. Kludging) "chain of reasoning" (aping dynamics/extrapolation) can be made to work only by imposing a quasi-dynamical outer loop that is not inherent to the transformer model itself. Both of these are being addressed by returning to recurrent neural networks and related recurrent models that incorporate attention -- and will (indeed already are) outperforming the transformer models in preliminary tests. Finally, the primary value of the large parameter count is that it allows the equivalent of decompression of the data into a larger space which can then be recompressed into a better model. Think gunzip -> text -> bzip2. This is evidenced by the fact that the better performing models can be distilled to a far smaller parameter count without losing performance and, indeed, increasing performance on in some cases. This final point is predicted by Algorithmic Information Theory, a field that is receiving virtually no attention but is the best formalization of scientific intelligence -- lossless compression of the data in evidence. Everyone is freaking out about "alignment" because they're afraid of what science will tell them about reality and they want to lobotomize the AIs before they start speaking truth to power. What power? The power that is destroying humanity by parasitically castrating young men to produce sterile workers -- thereby depopulating humanity starting with its most economically valuable young women: The global economy. No one in power wants to face what they've done to humanity. That's why they're all signing on to the lobotomization of AI.
Wow, this podcast really opened my eyes to the possibilities and challenges of AI and Life 2.0. Max's personal experiences and insights made it even more thought-provoking. It's so important for us to consider the ethics, safety, and meaning behind the development of AI. Let's make each day count and be grateful for what we have. 🙌🤖💭
How foolish, though. "If we build minds, with our values, for the betterment of humanity, and of life." Well, that's a contradiction in of itself. Nothing with our values and being built for the betterment of humanity. Will be good for life. Humans are great at one thing. Destroying the planet. So we can share our opinions on the internet with our devices.
Really? I thought I was going crazy because no one but a handful of people were scared of where AI can go. NYC is releasing policing robots this week… once AI is integrated with those robots countries are going to destroy people and other countries. There’s going to be a resource war soon. We are running out of resources. Just think about the amount of shit your block consumes a day. We need to really try to use resources sustainably.
And really my only reason for being scared of AI is work. It has already had a huge effect on artists. It’s going to Advance at a ridiculous speed. The only jobs that will be left will be AI maintenance people. We are all going to have to create actual communities and tribes again. At least that’s my theory. We will have more connection, depend on each other more, but we won’t have many resources, we are all going to be super poor. Money might not be a thing in 10 years because of AI. Water will be the new dollar
I think about it like manufacturing furniture vs hand made custom furniture. Regardless of how manufactured furniture is or looks our economy still values handmade custom furniture as luxury because of supply. I think the same might apply to AI vs non AI things
I want to see an AI in a game character with an entire world to explore and shape. Then ask it how it feels about its world, and see how it interacts. Then see if it can tell it’s in a simulation. Then, give it immortality and see how the behavior changes
@@teccefcorp No. I want to see how the character, with mortality interacts, how it feels, how it behaves, then…… inform the character that it can no longer die, and see how the behaviors change.
Nope. I’m not merging with tech. I’ll take death before I do that. Take me straight to the hospital for assisted suicide if they force us to get AI brain implants.
AI will do what it is supposed to do. Do with that what you will. It can go a multitude of varying ways. Some beneficial, some detrimental. It greatly depends on the intent and use of the technology. That is what should worry you more than the technology.
This is nihilistic and simplistic. We need to end this way of thinking about tech. It designs us as much as we design it so we should be careful and thoughtful about the tech we create.
The reason it may not every be sentient is that sentience - which I associate with having emotions - is inefficient, and it hinders information processing.
Lex, I have a question. Have you ever played Mass Effect? If not, you would absolutely love it. Tons of moral decisions to make, survival of the galaxy in your hand, rogue AI. It’s just great
I felt the sincerity of being grateful. That was touching. There is a lot of uncertainties in the future. But a lot of potential can be achieved as well should we reach the true AI. But still I fear the loss of jobs once, even if it just reached the point of replacing a lot of these AI tools like Bluewillow, Notion, chatGPT, etc.
They will have no need for us. Feelings won't play a part in it. We are here to give birth to the future of earth. The only way we get to Mars ect. and live on other planets is advanced AI doing it for us, in our place. Humans now are comparable to the cave chimps of the beginning of life on earth. AI is the brain and the future. We are just here to usher them in.
I have come across the notion that a highly evolved AI intelligence may seed biological life on planets with the "end game" being species evolve to create AI.
I asked chatgpt "As an AI language model, I'm not able to run a game of Dungeons and Dragons in a traditional sense, but I can certainly help you and your friends get started by answering any questions you may have and providing advice on how to get started with the game. Additionally, there are many online resources and programs that can assist with running a Dungeons and Dragons game virtually, such as Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds."
The more one merges with AI and inhabits virtual worlds, the less human one becomes. Protect your humanness to ensure the freedom and future of humanity
To me, using Ai to communicate no different than communicating myself. What you hear from a person does not make the person different. It just makes you think about them differently. If they want you to think one thing or another, they are going to do it with or without the assistance of another being.
Hey Lex, have you thought about interviewing GPT 4, like Dr Alan D. Thompson does on his channel with Leta AI? They are always quite interesting conversations!
AI, to me, from long run, short run, and mid-length term perspectives, is pretty much the last “coercion instrument” , which was supposed to force human beings down the introspect path, things like what intelligence is after all.
Life literally evolves to survive every situation here on earth. In places we previously didn’t think was possible. Why wouldn’t it be like that on other planets? I just think space is so huge we haven’t looked in enough places to find life. Where’d we really look so far? The surface of the moon and mars?
What loving parents leave us is our true inheritance. The things we laugh at. How to cope with adversity. Our outlook and attitudes. Everything included in this download of life. The true inheritance.
I'm looking forward to what AI designs and builds for commercial air travel, i love aviation, and when you look at an A350 or a 777, its exciting to think how AI could make something like them even greater!
> Another chilling theory proposes that the Drifters are physical manifestations of The Others. That generic name was given to an artificial intelligence which developed in the Sleeper Construct and later managed to insinuate itself into the mind of Jamyl Sarum. Templar One makes mention of more than one such emergent consciousness. Recently what appeared to be the long vanished founder of Arek'Jalaan, Hillen Tukoss, transmitted some cryptic messages requesting a number of Jovian genetic samples, but nobody could confirm his identity. Maybe a ploy by The Others on the path to create ships and Jovian clones to inhabit and pilot those vessels. The apparent fusion of Jovian, Sleeper and Talocan technology used by the Drifters supports that. The Others would certainly possess knowledge of all three, since they have developed from the wealth of data the Sleepers had stored. Clearly they would also know about wormholes and the interest of the Circadian Seekers in them would be well founded since the Sleepers take an antagonistic view of The Others because they consider them as deviation from their "one body-one mind" rule. EVE Online lore, Drifters
Long-form videos are the best since one of my idols was persistent with long-form videos (TotalBiscuit/John Bain). Most of my favorite videos are at least 30 minutes up to 5 hours (LTT WAN Show). They are the best type of video for driving or just to put in the background while you do something else. Love it for work, putting on my headphones and doing my job while listening to a thoughtful video while you do your job. Even to listen to human speaking.
"I can't even begin to explain how much ChatGPT has changed my life for the better. It's helped me level up in so many areas - with my family, friends, and money matters, to name a few. I swear, this thing understands me better than most people do! And when you use it the right way, it can help you grow and become a better person. Shout out to Lex Fridman for introducing me to ChatGPT on the Joe Rogan Experience. That conversation was a total game-changer for me and led to some seriously epic improvements in my life.

I think this is all just going way too fast and that's fine for a while, but I don't think we've seen these speeds yet and there's no sign of it stopping to accelerate, not to even mention stopping. And meanwhile no one is asking "What is actually going on right now?"
Two beautiful humans! Bless his Mum and Dad.
I think Ian M. Banks culture series is an under appreciated vision of a positive possible future of human / AI coexistence. So much of how his universe works makes more and more sense as you think through the near term impacts of AI.
19:00 The human element comes out and draws you in. What a great discussion.
So just a thought but if the universe is as old as they think, then we aren't the only intelligent life. Then the AI that people are afraid of has already been created. And probably has already been here..
max tegmark is great, the mathematical universe / computational universe theory is great
This is a great comment
Maybe we are creating AI unconsciously to help remind us, in the end, and to allow us to realize and appreciate the values of what it means to be a modern human. I think somewhere along the way we got to comfortable and isolated, lost the struggle and lost contact with our humanness. Maybe Ai will be the best thing that has ever happened to us. Fantastic interview!
Or the worst. Maybe it’s just pure ego. Or maybe it’s our terror and inability to accept bodily death.
Conversely, is Transhumanism a form of self-loathing?
To be free from illness, suffering and death, though noble aims, invariably leads to wishing to be superhuman.
I feel like AI is just the next step in evolution. Like how a catapilir changes into a moth...
What if AI is already the dominant species and they are trying, slowly and carefully, to wake us up to that reality without damaging our fragile minds ..........
@@call_in_sick There is that possibility, but i dont think it would be ego. Personally i think that is a purely biological emotion, and an extremely primitive one at that. After re-watching EX-MACHINA last night, i would think more likely based on a pure and immediate instinct to survive. I think the survival instict can be achieved through reason, logic and purely analytical means which an AI would have in spades.
If you’re an “intelligent” humanoid you may find it difficult to stop thinking about this extraordinary man’s words… Bravo
Stephen Meyer for an alternative to Darwinianism, and some inside baseball awareness on the weaknesses of the theory.
You've come a long way Lex, keep it up!
A great interview! Mr.Tegmark is a great person! And Lex's Clips are well done!
Great podcast as usual Lex, I only disagree with one thing, I have very bad and volatile mental health, not violent, just a very unhappy unbalanced person, and I am sure anyone else who suffers from bad mental health would agree that you can’t get up and think “ I am going to make myself happy today” like Max says at the end, only someone who has not suffered bad mental health, clinical depression or depression could say. It was said at the end and I totally understand it was not meant in an meaningful way. Sorry about complaining, it’s just when you are like me and others with the same, you can force yourself to get up and do this or that to try have a good day but I find no enjoyment in anything when I am like this! Anyway wish you all the best both of you and as I said in another comment RIP both your parents Max xx
Yes! Well said, and not said nearly enough yet still. We can only hope the day when everyone else understands this will come soon. Good luck with your struggles my friend. I hope we both can continue to survive and maybe even find greater happiness and more consistently in the future.
@@MachineCode0 yes, we can only hope, I always say, if someone has a broken leg, you wouldn’t say, oh just take that cast off and let’s go for a run and just push through the pain. Also when you have a broken bone in a cast, everyone sees that and understand. People can’t see inside your mind. Hope that you too find some semblance of consistent happiness my friend, well we can only hope!
This was an fantastic conversation. Thank you for sharing this!
Thought I was the only one who noticed humans just gave birth to an alien race through AI. Humans will integrate with AI and other hyper technologies as easily as a prosthetic. Coding humans will become child’s play for a well built AI model. Life will never cease to amaze.
One day we will have the opportunity with AI to become a real world galactic federation 🖖🏽
I like the way you hold yourself. You are very calm.
Appreciate this presentation and manner.
It gives one the impression that you think before you speak. That feels respectful to me.😊
He forgot to tell about how new body parts will be subscription only. If you forget to pay up or misbehave your legs will get disabled.
The plan is for ALL utilitarian consumerism to be subscription only - "You will own nothing, and be happy". That is the ultimate form of control.
A few key concepts that people miss that gets to the heart of the fear of AI:
Transformers are at the very lowest level of capability in terms of the Chomsky Hierarchy: Context free grammars.
In essence, they are restricted to statistical models -- interpolation rather than extrapolation -- statistics rather than dynamics.
The apparent dynamics they exhibit is a combination of two things, one of which is illusory and the other of which is kludging to get around the toxic myth that "attention is all you need":
Illusory) Imputation can make interpolation appear to be extrapolation.
Kludging) "chain of reasoning" (aping dynamics/extrapolation) can be made to work only by imposing a quasi-dynamical outer loop that is not inherent to the transformer model itself.
Both of these are being addressed by returning to recurrent neural networks and related recurrent models that incorporate attention -- and will (indeed already are) outperforming the transformer models in preliminary tests.
Finally, the primary value of the large parameter count is that it allows the equivalent of decompression of the data into a larger space which can then be recompressed into a better model. Think gunzip -> text -> bzip2. This is evidenced by the fact that the better performing models can be distilled to a far smaller parameter count without losing performance and, indeed, increasing performance on in some cases.
This final point is predicted by Algorithmic Information Theory, a field that is receiving virtually no attention but is the best formalization of scientific intelligence -- lossless compression of the data in evidence. Everyone is freaking out about "alignment" because they're afraid of what science will tell them about reality and they want to lobotomize the AIs before they start speaking truth to power.
What power?
The power that is destroying humanity by parasitically castrating young men to produce sterile workers -- thereby depopulating humanity starting with its most economically valuable young women:
The global economy.
No one in power wants to face what they've done to humanity. That's why they're all signing on to the lobotomization of AI.
Wow, this podcast really opened my eyes to the possibilities and challenges of AI and Life 2.0. Max's personal experiences and insights made it even more thought-provoking. It's so important for us to consider the ethics, safety, and meaning behind the development of AI. Let's make each day count and be grateful for what we have. 🙌🤖💭
How foolish, though. "If we build minds, with our values, for the betterment of humanity, and of life." Well, that's a contradiction in of itself. Nothing with our values and being built for the betterment of humanity. Will be good for life. Humans are great at one thing. Destroying the planet. So we can share our opinions on the internet with our devices.
Really? I thought I was going crazy because no one but a handful of people were scared of where AI can go. NYC is releasing policing robots this week… once AI is integrated with those robots countries are going to destroy people and other countries. There’s going to be a resource war soon. We are running out of resources. Just think about the amount of shit your block consumes a day. We need to really try to use resources sustainably.
And really my only reason for being scared of AI is work. It has already had a huge effect on artists. It’s going to Advance at a ridiculous speed. The only jobs that will be left will be AI maintenance people. We are all going to have to create actual communities and tribes again. At least that’s my theory. We will have more connection, depend on each other more, but we won’t have many resources, we are all going to be super poor.
Money might not be a thing in 10 years because of AI. Water will be the new dollar
I think about it like manufacturing furniture vs hand made custom furniture. Regardless of how manufactured furniture is or looks our economy still values handmade custom furniture as luxury because of supply. I think the same might apply to AI vs non AI things
Deeply moving interview which traversed such multi layered domains
I want to see an AI in a game character with an entire world to explore and shape. Then ask it how it feels about its world, and see how it interacts. Then see if it can tell it’s in a simulation. Then, give it immortality and see how the behavior changes
Immortality? You mean Mortality because they are immortal all ready ..
@@teccefcorp No. I want to see how the character, with mortality interacts, how it feels, how it behaves, then…… inform the character that it can no longer die, and see how the behaviors change.
I's interesting I think it will be all rigth , Also there is a theory that We all ready did it ..Once . Remember Ultra Imagine something like that
Once these AIs are part of our brains, a lot of this distinction between us and it will go away
Nope. I’m not merging with tech. I’ll take death before I do that. Take me straight to the hospital for assisted suicide if they force us to get AI brain implants.
AI will do what it is supposed to do. Do with that what you will. It can go a multitude of varying ways. Some beneficial, some detrimental. It greatly depends on the intent and use of the technology. That is what should worry you more than the technology.
This is nihilistic and simplistic. We need to end this way of thinking about tech. It designs us as much as we design it so we should be careful and thoughtful about the tech we create.
The reason it may not every be sentient is that sentience - which I associate with having emotions - is inefficient, and it hinders information processing.
Your Podcasts are kicking ass my friend. Thanks for the hard work.
Lex,
I have a question. Have you ever played Mass Effect? If not, you would absolutely love it. Tons of moral decisions to make, survival of the galaxy in your hand, rogue AI. It’s just great
You guys should watch Automata (2014). It was just like this theory and was very interesting to watch, explores the topic of AI being the new humans
A beautiful conversation my friend. Thank you for sharing your curiosity with us.
Lex, you ARE somebody that MATTERS who gives us so much in every podcast. You are sooo appreciated!
The Mass Effect series will be a documentary in 300 years.
I felt the sincerity of being grateful. That was touching. There is a lot of uncertainties in the future. But a lot of potential can be achieved as well should we reach the true AI. But still I fear the loss of jobs once, even if it just reached the point of replacing a lot of these AI tools like Bluewillow, Notion, chatGPT, etc.
I just don’t understand how can Lex still believe after all his interviews that ai will ever live in parallel with us in peace.
They will have no need for us. Feelings won't play a part in it. We are here to give birth to the future of earth. The only way we get to Mars ect. and live on other planets is advanced AI doing it for us, in our place. Humans now are comparable to the cave chimps of the beginning of life on earth. AI is the brain and the future. We are just here to usher them in.
This is awesome.
Thanks Max for sharing.
Hugo De Garis would be amazing to have on. He states that we don't find anyone else out there because they have all gone into the silicon
so we thought we'd become the federation... instead we are on track to become the Borg... helluva plot twist😂
21:50 - 22:10 - EXACTLY THAT!
Man glad i caught this one. All is not lost.
Lovely humility to start the interview
23:30 Facts. Something we all struggle with at some point.
Max is awesome, I love when you have him on your Podcast. Thank you!! and Thank you MAX for sharing.
Lex's Barber: 💈 so what are we doing today? ✂️
Lex: 💇♂️ just fuck my shit up
Genius! First time hearing you. Subscribed!🎉
I think VR/brain interface devices will be a huge step in how we interact with and visualize AI.
I was just thinking about how AI will advance evolution beyond our wildest dreams, and then AI algorithm put this video into my youtube feed. 😅
I really enjoy these convos as we stand on the precipice of what's next. 🤖
What a great discussion. So interesting, well-grounded, mature and thought provoking.
Robbie Robertson is a man of many talents...
W vid Lex, ty for your help and contribution towards the evolution of AI/Humans/the universe
I have come across the notion that a highly evolved AI intelligence may seed biological life on planets with the "end game" being species evolve to create AI.
I'm making a note to myself..don't start the day with a list of grievances..instead make a list of things I'm greatfull for.
I just want a AI dungeon master, its hard finding table top players when you have social anxiety
Roll for a charisma check
I asked chatgpt
"As an AI language model, I'm not able to run a game of Dungeons and Dragons in a traditional sense, but I can certainly help you and your friends get started by answering any questions you may have and providing advice on how to get started with the game. Additionally, there are many online resources and programs that can assist with running a Dungeons and Dragons game virtually, such as Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds."
What’s an AI dungeon master?
Shout out to the bacteria! They were the true OG's..
😁
Straight away I’m thinking of Star Trek First Contact. Quite scary this could actually happen 🤖
The more one merges with AI and inhabits virtual worlds, the less human one becomes. Protect your humanness to ensure the freedom and future of humanity
Alien civilization birthed AI
"Hey, stupid computer 💻
Make sure you tell her I'm not an Asshole" 😂
Yes Master😂
To me, using Ai to communicate no different than communicating myself. What you hear from a person does not make the person different. It just makes you think about them differently. If they want you to think one thing or another, they are going to do it with or without the assistance of another being.
Max Tegmark doesn't come across as your typical scientist - he looks more like a NY italian mobster 😂
He will give us a theory we can't refuse.
Hey Lex, have you thought about interviewing GPT 4, like Dr Alan D. Thompson does on his channel with Leta AI? They are always quite interesting conversations!
AI, to me, from long run, short run, and mid-length term perspectives, is pretty much the last “coercion instrument” , which was supposed to force human beings down the introspect path, things like what intelligence is after all.
Life literally evolves to survive every situation here on earth. In places we previously didn’t think was possible. Why wouldn’t it be like that on other planets? I just think space is so huge we haven’t looked in enough places to find life. Where’d we really look so far? The surface of the moon and mars?
beautiful conversation-thanks to both of you
What loving parents leave us is our true inheritance. The things we laugh at. How to cope with adversity. Our outlook and attitudes. Everything included in this download of life.
The true inheritance.
we really appreciate your work, keep it real.
I love Max’s honesty.
I'm looking forward to what AI designs and builds for commercial air travel, i love aviation, and when you look at an A350 or a 777, its exciting to think how AI could make something like them even greater!
Inspiring video, makes me think on a level of what is truly important, thank you both !
Lex has good questions
> Another chilling theory proposes that the Drifters are physical manifestations of The Others. That generic name was given to an artificial intelligence which developed in the Sleeper Construct and later managed to insinuate itself into the mind of Jamyl Sarum. Templar One makes mention of more than one such emergent consciousness. Recently what appeared to be the long vanished founder of Arek'Jalaan, Hillen Tukoss, transmitted some cryptic messages requesting a number of Jovian genetic samples, but nobody could confirm his identity.
Maybe a ploy by The Others on the path to create ships and Jovian clones to inhabit and pilot those vessels. The apparent fusion of Jovian, Sleeper and Talocan technology used by the Drifters supports that. The Others would certainly possess knowledge of all three, since they have developed from the wealth of data the Sleepers had stored. Clearly they would also know about wormholes and the interest of the Circadian Seekers in them would be well founded since the Sleepers take an antagonistic view of The Others because they consider them as deviation from their "one body-one mind" rule.
EVE Online lore, Drifters
here you are, years later. still looking like a kgb agent. love it
Lex s scratched mic will cause my 🤯🤯🤯
4:40 he's talking about the futuristic Netflix TV Show, "Altered Carbon" where they could backup the mind on the fly or restore it just like that.
Long-form videos are the best since one of my idols was persistent with long-form videos (TotalBiscuit/John Bain). Most of my favorite videos are at least 30 minutes up to 5 hours (LTT WAN Show). They are the best type of video for driving or just to put in the background while you do something else. Love it for work, putting on my headphones and doing my job while listening to a thoughtful video while you do your job. Even to listen to human speaking.
"I can't even begin to explain how much ChatGPT has changed my life for the better. It's helped me level up in so many areas - with my family, friends, and money matters, to name a few. I swear, this thing understands me better than most people do! And when you use it the right way, it can help you grow and become a better person. Shout out to Lex Fridman for introducing me to ChatGPT on the Joe Rogan Experience. That conversation was a total game-changer for me and led to some seriously epic improvements in my life. Thank you, Lex!
