AI is way behind especially in "solving Universe" - which was recently solved in free "Time Matters eBook" (Hubble redshift is not due to expansion and Big Bang, but thanks to time dilation in past translates into redshift today; Vera Rubin puzzle about fast spinning spiral galaxies and not falling apart is not due to dark matter, but due to time faster at ~0.001 rate in spiral arms, that alone holds galaxies together; and other, if not all, puzzles about our Universe, "UFO" including).

[@scottydog9997]

Lex is smart? I think he is alright, but he never came across as "smart" to me. He definitely has some sway getting high profile individuals on his show, and is a reasonable conversationalist.

[@0cer0]

@@scottydog9997 Lex has a remarkable way of speaking. It looks to me as if he wants to get into a state of purposelessness, to be able to express what his mind finds, uninfluenced and without too much control by his everyday consciousness. It's like ink painting in Zen or Cy Twombly’s struggle for elimination of personal influences on the image result. So it is that Lex lets the words flow out of him, with a minimum of control and at the pace at which they form in his mind. And that's what creates this slurred, indistinct speech pattern. One should not interpret this as a lack of smartness. If you pay attention to the content and less to the form, you will better recognize the sharpness of his mind. (Funny, of course, is the contrast with Andrej's super-accented, extremely efficient speaking style...)

[@jamieb7799]

I can't help but really like Andrej. There is a childlike excitement that exudes out of every part of his demeanor. His obvious passion is contageous and that is truly endearing & critical in moving this field forward in a positive direction. Not too many people you could say that about.

[@marbin1069]

In my view, this is the best AI interview conducted by Lex to date. 41:50 - This is the main reason why large language models understand and reason, in many cases, in a similar way to how humans do. The psychological and/or philosophical (extremely simple) idea underlying the success of these large language models is that the brain may be, fundamentally, a predictive system. Whose main goal is the prediction of characters/words, pixels/images, ... If we consider this hypothesis (that could be) true, then we should focus our efforts on developing architectures (e.g. Transformers) that allow us to make better predictions.

I really like when Lex interviews people in AI. The questions that he comes with are more refined than normal questions and we also hear his voice more since he is also an expert in the field.

[@THEVIERAOS]

I mean… ai is his main thing

[@xd0404]

I'm truly inspired, overwhelmed, motivated, shocked at how much I can learn. Lex's questions range from the super geek way over my head to the extremely daring "what does it all mean". His questions really bring out who Andrej really is. On the other end, Andrej is so truthful, transparent, present, it is a pure joy to see and hear the best of how we can be in the world. This podcast is a turning point for me.

[@ricmrodrigues]

How Andrej described working on a problem is exactly how I do. And what he said about night time quietness being great to focus, 200%. And also becoming obsessed with it and having it all on RAM, it's like he's describing my process, I can relate so much! This happened to me last night and this morning! Best problem solving I've ever done was, hands down, at night! Amazing how he described this so accurately to match my process.

One of things that makes this channel so great is how you highlight these people that never get the recognition they deserve in the mainstream world. That was a good one. I like that guy he's a positive energy for sure.

What a refreshing video and so contrasting compared to the last podcast (which I was only able to listen for 5 minutes).

[@ExploreLearnEnglishWithGeorge]

makes me proud of being Slovak myself, we/humanity needs more people like Andrej Karpathy

[@nickitoff9629]

I could listen to you both talk all day! Feels good to questions my ideas or opinions and this show is a killer source. You share so much knowledge; Thank you Dr. Fridman, and Dr. Karpathy!! Love the show!!

[@Skynet_the_AI]

Killer…. Good word choice 😉

[@beathoven70]

Awesome podcast and i really love Andrej. His latest lectures really are fantastic and i can't recommend them highly enough!

[@fabriziopellegrini9517]

Where can these lectures be found? I discovered Andrej in the last days and I'd like to know also if there are courses taught by him :), thanks

[@paulthegaull]

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

[@andrepeniche]

When Andrej talks, it feels like the video is sped up by 1.5x

[@mailoisback]

My favorite podcast so far. I am a big fan of Andrej. Thank you both!!

[@colbytender4302]

Mr. Friedman and Mr. Karpathy, very great interview. You both represent the reason why we (as humans in 2022) will (and should) watch and listen to long forum discussions. This is free learning to the masses, which once was only accessible to the few. Sirs, realize what you've done in this interview is VERY important.

[@Skynet_the_AI]

Who else.... would "WE" (humans in _ _ _ _) be?? 😆😆😆 right. yes. I know. agreed. 😉🙃

[@roberthodor3918]

That's what I call an interview! Such a piece of normality in today's times feels really refreshing. Greetings from Kosice, Slovakia.

[@BlackCat4SMR]

I think his podcasts just have a way better vibe to them when the background is just completely black rather than having a bright room with distractions like pictures and stuff on the wall in the background lol

[@letsmakeithappen7161]

Andrej's laughter :D Love it!

[@megadebtification]

Thank you, Andrej.. This was a brilliant podcast! Absolutely loved it.. Hope to see a part 2 this year, given the pace of AI progress :)

[@dnbjedi]

Never seen Lex so relaxed and in his mode.

[@patordie]

I don't often comment on youtube videos, but Andrej was a joy to listen to. Thank you.

[@chaidaro]

You guys should have more podcast together. This is so insightful and very entertaining.

I really hope eventually we will get a second run on this. AI moves so fast, they could probably do this yearly without any issue. :)

[@DmytroSemchuk]

For the creator of the universe to notice us, we are trying to create systems that are loud enough to answer back. wow, that is awesome, one of the best quotes I've heard in my life, definitely resonates with me.

[@Skynet_the_AI]

Wow

[@LeagueBeer]

This guy is so good at explaining I'm feeling like I'm making those words up myself

[@tgwashdc]

Such a delight! Two great minds talking about deep questions.

[@justsomeguy4260]

He believes the universe has intelligent life outside earth, I like this guy.

[@richardurwin]

Thank you for this interview. I love the intestinity from Mr Karpathy in answering questions during this interview; further and how he does not seem to trust hi own intuition when asked directly in this interview. For I personally, this is the most insightful and interview on AI. Awesome!

[@evdm7482]

Finally a video I don’t have to speed up, I might even have to slow it down…

[@joostvankruijsdijk98]

The most interesting question in this interview is asked at 13:59 when Lex Says, 'The jump from bacteria to more complex organisms is the hardest jump'. How can it be that on earth we made the jump from bacteria to where we are today: a technological society. (and how can it be that we haven't found other planets where this happened too)/ I suspect the main reason lies in the fact that the earth got tilted 4.5 billion years ago. Because of this we have our seasons and every day differs from all other days in terms of temperature and the amount of sunlight and weather conditions overall. Evolution thrives on constantly changing environments . A bacteria might thrive with 18 hours of sunlight everyday (June) but fail to do so with only 6 hours (December). In a situation where earth was not tilted you would get 12 hours of sunlight everyday. So it's plausible that on a tilted earth evolutionary forces are factor X higher than evolutionary forces on a non-tilted earth. This might have speeded up evolution with X billion years and be the main reason we are the most advanced form of life in the universe relatively close to us. @Lex really interested to get your take on this.

[@jannekestuulen9521]

Extremely intesting thought! This might indeed be one of the main reason we have made this jump so quickly.

[@emieldevries7397]

Very interesting indeed. It should be possible to estimate different evolutionary speeds by simulating this in a scientific controlled environment. This could give an estimate of how quickly life would get to the current level of complexity in a situation where the earth is not tilted.

I now realize that I did take something positive from the 30 minutes I spent watching Ye’s interview! It helped me appreciate much more this podcast and this guys. What an amazing two people Lex and Andrej are. Thanks for the podcasts!

[@DrTune]

The Ye interview is iin the bottom 1% of Lex's output in terms of "things I want to listen to". It sure got a lot of views though.

[@MrYounis26]

@@DrTune because its simple and the mass audience can relate and understand to that podcast.

[@MrYounis26]

Also what other podcasts besides ye is bottom 1%

[@rich21421]

Sounds cruel but another good thing is that ppl get to see a & hopefully discern the genius from the not so much. Unfortunately we live at times where Ye is so much more popular than Andrej smh

[@autohmae]

@@rich21421 Which also has an advantage: it allows people like Andrej to focus on what they are doing.
