Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So start with, don't start thinking about the risks,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:22.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
start thinking about the goals.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:24.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And then when you do that,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:26.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
then you can think about the obstacles you want to avoid.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:28.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I often get students coming in right here into my office
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:30.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
for career advice.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:32.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I always ask them this very question,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:34.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
where do you want to be in the future?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:35.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
If all she can say is, oh, maybe I'll have cancer,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:37.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
maybe I'll get run over by a truck.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:40.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Yeah, focus on the obstacles instead of the goals.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:42.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
She's just going to end up a hypochondriac paranoid.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:44.280
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Whereas if she comes in and fire in her eyes
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:47.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and is like, I want to be there.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:49.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And then we can talk about the obstacles
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:51.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and see how we can circumvent them.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:53.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
That's, I think, a much, much healthier attitude.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:55.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And I feel it's very challenging to come up with a vision
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:14:58.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
for the future, which we are unequivocally excited about.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:03.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I'm not just talking now in the vague terms,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:08.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
like, yeah, let's cure cancer, fine.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:10.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I'm talking about what kind of society
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:12.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
do we want to create?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:14.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
What do we want it to mean to be human in the age of AI,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:15.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
in the age of AGI?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:20.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So if we can have this conversation,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:22.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
broad, inclusive conversation,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:25.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and gradually start converging towards some,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:28.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
some future that with some direction, at least,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:31.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that we want to steer towards, right,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:34.240
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
then we'll be much more motivated
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:35.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
to constructively take on the obstacles.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:38.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And I think if I had, if I had to,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:39.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
if I try to wrap this up in a more succinct way,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:43.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I think we can all agree already now
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:46.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that we should aspire to build AGI
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:51.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that doesn't overpower us, but that empowers us.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:15:56.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And think of the many various ways that can do that,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:05.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
whether that's from my side of the world
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:08.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
of autonomous vehicles.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:11.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I'm personally actually from the camp
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:12.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that believes this human level intelligence
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:14.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is required to achieve something like vehicles
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:16.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that would actually be something we would enjoy using
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:20.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and being part of.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:23.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So that's one example, and certainly there's a lot
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:25.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
of other types of robots and medicine and so on.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:27.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So focusing on those and then coming up with the obstacles,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:30.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
coming up with the ways that that can go wrong
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:33.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and solving those one at a time.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:35.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And just because you can build an autonomous vehicle,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:38.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
even if you could build one
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:41.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that would drive just fine without you,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:42.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
maybe there are some things in life
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:45.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that we would actually want to do ourselves.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:46.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
That's right.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:48.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Right, like, for example,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:49.240
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
if you think of our society as a whole,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:51.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
there are some things that we find very meaningful to do.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:53.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And that doesn't mean we have to stop doing them
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:57.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
just because machines can do them better.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:16:59.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I'm not gonna stop playing tennis
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:02.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
just the day someone builds a tennis robot and beat me.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:04.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
People are still playing chess and even go.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:07.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Yeah, and in the very near term even,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:09.600
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
some people are advocating basic income, replace jobs.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:14.600
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
But if the government is gonna be willing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:18.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
to just hand out cash to people for doing nothing,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:20.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
then one should also seriously consider
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:24.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
whether the government should also hire
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:25.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
a lot more teachers and nurses
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:27.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and the kind of jobs which people often
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:29.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
find great fulfillment in doing, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:32.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
We get very tired of hearing politicians saying,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:34.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
oh, we can't afford hiring more teachers,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:36.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
but we're gonna maybe have basic income.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:39.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
If we can have more serious research and thought
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:41.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
into what gives meaning to our lives,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:44.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
the jobs give so much more than income, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:46.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Mm hmm.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:48.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And then think about in the future,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:50.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
what are the roles that we wanna have people
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:17:53.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
continually feeling empowered by machines?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:00.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And I think sort of, I come from Russia,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:03.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
from the Soviet Union.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:06.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And I think for a lot of people in the 20th century,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:07.240
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
going to the moon, going to space was an inspiring thing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:10.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I feel like the universe of the mind,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:14.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
so AI, understanding, creating intelligence
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:18.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is that for the 21st century.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:20.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So it's really surprising.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:23.240
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And I've heard you mention this.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:24.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
It's really surprising to me,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:25.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
both on the research funding side,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:27.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that it's not funded as greatly as it could be,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:29.240
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
but most importantly, on the politician side,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:31.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that it's not part of the public discourse
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:34.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
except in the killer bots terminator kind of view,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:36.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that people are not yet, I think, perhaps excited
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:40.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
by the possible positive future
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:44.880
