Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that we can build together.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:46.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So we should be, because politicians usually just focus
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:48.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
on the next election cycle, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:51.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
The single most important thing I feel we humans have learned
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:54.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
in the entire history of science
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:57.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is they were the masters of underestimation.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:18:59.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
We underestimated the size of our cosmos again and again,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:02.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
realizing that everything we thought existed
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:08.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
was just a small part of something grander, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:10.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Planet, solar system, the galaxy, clusters of galaxies.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:12.240
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
The universe.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:16.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And we now know that the future has just
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:18.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
so much more potential
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:23.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
than our ancestors could ever have dreamt of.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:25.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
This cosmos, imagine if all of Earth
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:27.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
was completely devoid of life,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:33.600
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
except for Cambridge, Massachusetts.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:36.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Wouldn't it be kind of lame if all we ever aspired to
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:39.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
was to stay in Cambridge, Massachusetts forever
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:42.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and then go extinct in one week,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:45.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
even though Earth was gonna continue on for longer?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:47.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
That sort of attitude I think we have now
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:49.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
on the cosmic scale, life can flourish on Earth,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:54.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
not for four years, but for billions of years.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:19:57.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I can even tell you about how to move it out of harm's way
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:00.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
when the sun gets too hot.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:02.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And then we have so much more resources out here,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:04.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
which today, maybe there are a lot of other planets
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:09.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
with bacteria or cow like life on them,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:12.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
but most of this, all this opportunity seems,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:14.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
as far as we can tell, to be largely dead,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:19.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
like the Sahara Desert.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:22.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And yet we have the opportunity to help life flourish
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:23.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
around this for billions of years.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:28.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So let's quit squabbling about
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:30.280
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
whether some little border should be drawn
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:34.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
one mile to the left or right,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:36.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and look up into the skies and realize,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:38.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
hey, we can do such incredible things.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:41.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Yeah, and that's, I think, why it's really exciting
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:44.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that you and others are connected
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:46.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
with some of the work Elon Musk is doing,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:49.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
because he's literally going out into that space,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:51.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
really exploring our universe, and it's wonderful.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:54.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
That is exactly why Elon Musk is so misunderstood, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:20:57.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Misconstrued him as some kind of pessimistic doomsayer.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:02.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
The reason he cares so much about AI safety
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:05.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is because he more than almost anyone else appreciates
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:07.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
these amazing opportunities that we'll squander
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:12.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
if we wipe out here on Earth.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:14.280
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
We're not just going to wipe out the next generation,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:16.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
all generations, and this incredible opportunity
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:19.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that's out there, and that would really be a waste.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:23.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And AI, for people who think that it would be better
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:25.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
to do without technology, let me just mention that
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:30.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
if we don't improve our technology,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:34.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
the question isn't whether humanity is going to go extinct.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:36.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
The question is just whether we're going to get taken out
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:39.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
by the next big asteroid or the next super volcano
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:41.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
or something else dumb that we could easily prevent
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:44.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
with more tech, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:48.280
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And if we want life to flourish throughout the cosmos,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:49.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
AI is the key to it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:53.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
As I mentioned in a lot of detail in my book right there,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:56.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
even many of the most inspired sci fi writers,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:21:59.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I feel have totally underestimated the opportunities
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:04.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
for space travel, especially at the other galaxies,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:08.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
because they weren't thinking about the possibility of AGI,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:11.240
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
which just makes it so much easier.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:15.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Right, yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:17.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So that goes to your view of AGI that enables our progress,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:18.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that enables a better life.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:24.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So that's a beautiful way to put it
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:25.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and then something to strive for.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:28.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So Max, thank you so much.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:29.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Thank you for your time today.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:31.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
It's been awesome.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:32.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Thank you so much.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:33.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Thanks.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#01:22:34.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Have a great day.

Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
As part of MIT course 6S099 on artificial general intelligence, I got a chance to sit
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:00:00.000
Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
down with Christoph Koch, who is one of the seminal figures in neurobiology, neuroscience,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:00:05.800
Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
and generally in the study of consciousness.

https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:00:33.880
Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
and the general public in the way we think about consciousness, in the way we see ourselves
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:00:38.760
Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
as human beings.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:00:43.720

https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:01:09.800
Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
Okay, before we delve into the beautiful mysteries of consciousness, let's zoom out a little
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:01:11.760
Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
bit and let me ask, do you think there's intelligent life out there in the universe?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:01:17.360
Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
Yes, I do believe so.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:01:23.200
Christof Koch: Consciousness | Lex Fridman Podcast #2
We have no evidence of it, but I think the probabilities are overwhelming in favor of
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0002-large.html#00:01:25.560
