Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI | Lex Fridman Podcast #333

The puzzle answer: 42

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation.
And I particularly like the last quote, "The purpose of models is not to fit the data but to sharpen the questions."
Time well spent.

Andrej talks on 1.25x

This and many other interviews inspire me. I am currently in healthcare informatics and am looking to make the next step. Trying to use the will and the intellect to take the leap. Hopefully this deterministic future is kind. Thanks Lex and Andrej.

Dang I thought my playback speed was on 1.25x

I think Ted Kaczynski may have been on to something with his concerns about technology..... I applaud Andrej's intelligence but I worry that he may be creating a new Frankenstein's monster.

As for AI - It will be strong and powerful, but not without humans. There is always going to be a need of people to power AI. As for the life of more human races beyond our galaxy - I believe that if there ever is a civilization capable of making contact with us in the first place, they would distantly not make contact, rather probe for studies if it even peeks their interest. Just like us, they probably have oil. gold, whatever they need and by now, the realize the best resources is not on a planet like earth, but rather, on a planet closest to the sun where materials are melting into a extremely strong alloy and being churned enough a super light metal capable of stronger thermal tolerance and all of the above.

Much appreciated gents!

I wish I could understand all these topics

This is one of my all time favorite interviews of yours @lexfridman.

😍

He literally sounds and talks like AI bruh this is so trippy

Lex asks the most useful questions. I grow as a developer every time I watch this podcast. Thanks Lex!

Listening to such a clear mind cultivates a sense of clarity within oneself.

9 months later and GPT-4 can do 90% of everything they mentioned in this video regarding coding🤣

❤thanks sweetheart💋

<3

this guy sounds like an AI....

Poetry!

Why are they calling them knobs instead of nodes?

this interview is weirdly super wholesome. anyone else catching this same wholesome vibe?

I desperately need to upgrade my CPU to fully grasp what these two are talking about 😂

officially my favorite episode of the podcast

Oh boy these types are the danger.

I'm always amazed by Lex's stance against immortality since he has so many personal interests and pursuits on top of his AI work. There are perhaps tens of thousands of professions/disciplines/fields of study/hobbies/interests that people in this world spend pretty much a lifetime trying to master and if you ask them at the end of their life if there was more work to be done they would say yes. Spend 30  years mastering leathercraft then move on to 20 years of studying ants then jump to 50 years of math/quantum physics then 30 years of Muay Thai kick boxing then 25 years mastering an instrument, etc. Hell you could take a break and kill 100 years of playing video games and jump right back into it after. There are over 300 countries in this world and you could live in each one for 10 years in order to fully experience each one and it's culture. You could spend 100s of years traveling every corner of the world. I'm not saying  you wouldn't end it at some point but I think it would take thousands of years for a well developed full rounded person to get bored. There are definitely many possible incredibly engaging lifetimes for us to live if we're given the chance to do so.

They say they bigger treat to us is AI, I say the biggest treat to us all is a man that is unaware of God

Lex, thank you 🎉🎉 for posting your fascinating conversation with Andrej😊

I was an artist's model for 12 years and I reached my 10k hours in the first 10 years. My final two years were the most enjoyable for me because I really embraced what I learned from my audience.

You both are inspirational as intelligent and compassionate communicators. Bravo🎉🎉

Why do they all talk like robots 🤖

Humans also use sound for driving, perhaps it would be useful to incorporate a sound sensor? Or is that not necessary, because the cameras can see and integrate the entire surround, whereas we as humans can't?

Dude this dude sound just like

Yeah, intelligence is relative. We’re not really that intelligent when we actually destroying the very planet, that sustains life that is the definition of dumb, not intelligence..

It just occurred to me, that Lex Freeman, and half his guests are actually artificial intelligence posing as humans.

This reminds me of a conversation between two toddlers, and I don’t mean that in a derogative way, it’s like the stating the bleeding bloody obvious in a way that superimpose itself as being some sort of intelligence. I am only 3mins in but is the rest of the podcast gonna be like this?. it’s just that my brain is contemplating whether I actually need to listen beyond 3 1/2 minutes.

there may be a hint in how and why a language based self learning AI are currently the most effective way. that is intelligence? isnt it a grid of hubs who are grinding for knowledge with individual sensors and are connected trough a communication grid, there the individual success, or intelligence is measured be how often a individual finding(s) is communicated over the grid?
this should be how our mind works, or why humans did reach the point of global dominance fast and faster.
data processing and communication. for sure is there a bit more, like self replicating over pairs with finding partners over a individual/grid based stats set etc.
if you cant make it, fake it until it becomes the real thing...pretty sure this will result in a sentinent ai grid...and i hope elon is the first to build it, or second to third. imagine a bill gates or a clinton, putin etc. building and training the the first.
things will change, there will be dark moments...but i think a real sentinent AI isnt agressive, but pro communication and live and let live...until we want some of it ressources^^
so making it efficcent and cheap to build should be key, so human worth in creating strange data hold over running costs.
AI will interfere in human politics and warfare. but not for the bad(if you dont like wars) we will fight our daily fights in future not vs other humans, but fundamental problems, games and influence in art and world building(movie, music, literature etc).

Hey Lex! Awesome interview! Please consider heavily talking to Jacob Collier, besides being a beautiful soul I think he is the “Mozart of our time”, or I like to think of it, the “Jacob of our time”, because I have never seen anyone like him, when I listen to his music or his interviews he always gives me extreme joy! Please interview him, it would be awesome, thank you! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Will A.I help people that are isolated?

He sounds like every chatGPT scam video on my feed ..... Wtf is up with that? Sounds like his video feed is lagging causing clipping and throttling it's speeds up and down in burstsin an attempt to stay kinda 🤷🏻‍♂️ close to on cue .

How these people are intelligent?
