Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I mean, that is definitely a challenge.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:55:33.540
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
But you believe that we'll make it out
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:55:37.460
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and ultimately superintelligent AI will help us make it out
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:55:40.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
as opposed to destroy us.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:55:44.600
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I think so, but we do have to be mindful of these dangers.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:55:47.680
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And there are other dangers besides nuclear weapons, so.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:55:52.420
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So to get back to merging with AI,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:55:56.340
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
will we be able to upload our mind in a computer
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:01.060
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
in a way where we might even transcend
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:06.020
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
the constraints of our bodies?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:09.380
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So copy our mind into a computer and leave the body behind?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:11.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Let me describe one thing I've already done with my father.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:15.300
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
That's a great story.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:21.060
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So we created a technology, this is public,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:23.700
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
came out, I think, six years ago,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:26.660
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
where you could ask any question
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:30.140
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and the release product,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:33.740
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which I think is still on the market,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:35.220
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
it would read 200,000 books.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:37.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And then find the one sentence in 200,000 books
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:40.900
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
that best answered your question.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:46.140
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And it's actually quite interesting.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:49.860
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
You can ask all kinds of questions
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:51.180
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and you get the best answer in 200,000 books.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:52.740
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
But I was also able to take it
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:57.580
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and not go through 200,000 books,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:56:59.940
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
but go through a book that I put together,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:03.180
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which is basically everything my father had written.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:07.060
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So everything he had written, I had gathered,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:10.980
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and we created a book,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:14.660
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
everything that Frederick Herzog had written.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:17.100
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Now, I didn't think this actually would work that well
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:20.220
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
because stuff he had written was stuff about how to lay out.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:23.380
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I mean, he directed choral groups
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:30.900
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and music groups,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:35.900
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and he would be laying out how the people should,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:39.220
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
where they should sit and how to fund this
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:44.180
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and all kinds of things
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:49.660
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
that really didn't seem that interesting.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:52.220
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And yet, when you ask a question,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:57.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
it would go through it
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:57:59.900
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and it would actually give you a very good answer.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:00.820
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So I said, well, who's the most interesting composer?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:04.760
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And he said, well, definitely Brahms.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:07.860
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And he would go on about how Brahms was fabulous
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:09.500
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and talk about the importance of music education.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:13.220
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So you could have essentially a question and answer,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:18.020
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
a conversation with him.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:21.140
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
You could have a conversation with him,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:21.980
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which was actually more interesting than talking to him
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:23.020
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
because if you talked to him,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:25.940
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
he'd be concerned about how they're gonna lay out
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:27.020
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
this property to give a choral group.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:30.080
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
He'd be concerned about the day to day
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:34.220
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
versus the big questions.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:36.060
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Exactly, yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:37.300
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And you did ask about the meaning of life
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:39.060
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and he answered, love.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:41.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:43.260
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Do you miss him?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:46.460
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yes, I do.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:49.180
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yeah, you get used to missing somebody after 52 years,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:52.940
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and I didn't really have intelligent conversations with him
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:58:58.540
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
until later in life.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:02.700
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
In the last few years, he was sick,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:06.940
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which meant he was home a lot
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:08.780
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and I was actually able to talk to him
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:10.140
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
about different things like music and other things.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:11.900
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And so I miss that very much.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:15.780
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
What did you learn about life from your father?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:19.820
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
What part of him is with you now?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:25.180
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
He was devoted to music.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:29.020
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And when he would create something to music,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:31.580
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
it put him in a different world.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:33.860
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Otherwise, he was very shy.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:37.540
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And if people got together,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:42.520
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
he tended not to interact with people
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:43.780
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
just because of his shyness.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:47.020
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
But when he created music, he was like a different person.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:49.780
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Do you have that in you?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:55.340
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
That kind of light that shines?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:56.540
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I mean, I got involved with technology at like age five.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#00:59:59.840
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And you fell in love with it
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:06.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
in the same way he did with music?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:07.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yeah, yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:09.380
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I remember this actually happened with my grandmother.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:11.300
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
She had a manual typewriter
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:16.940
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and she wrote a book, One Life Is Not Enough,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:20.060
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which actually a good title for a book I might write,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:23.060
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
but it was about a school she had created.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:26.240
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Well, actually her mother created it.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:30.260
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So my mother's mother's mother created the school in 1868.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:33.800
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And it was the first school in Europe
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:38.300
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
that provided higher education for girls.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:40.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
It went through 14th grade.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:42.660
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
If you were a girl and you were lucky enough
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:45.620
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
to get an education at all,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:48.260
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
it would go through like ninth grade.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:50.700
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And many people didn't have any education as a girl.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:52.940
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
This went through 14th grade.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:00:56.660
