Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
the more we're able to reconstruct that person
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:16:52.880
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and allow them to live on.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:16:56.080
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And eventually as we go forward,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:16:59.360
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
we're gonna have more and more of this data
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:01.440
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
because we're gonna have none of us
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:03.160
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
that are inside our neocortex
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:06.360
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and we're gonna collect a lot of data.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:08.360
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
In fact, anything that's data is always collected.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:11.120
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
There is something a little bit sad,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:15.800
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which is becoming, or maybe it's hopeful,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:18.680
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which is more and more common these days,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:23.200
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which when a person passes away,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:26.800
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
you have their Twitter account,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:28.360
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and you have the last tweet they tweeted,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:31.080
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
like something they needed.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:34.080
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And you can recreate them now
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:35.040
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
with large language models and so on.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:36.520
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I mean, you can create somebody that's just like them
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:38.360
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and can actually continue to communicate.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:40.880
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I think that's really exciting
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:45.040
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
because I think in some sense,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:46.440
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
like if I were to die today,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:49.360
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
in some sense I would continue on if I continued tweeting.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:51.760
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I tweet, therefore I am.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:56.120
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yeah, well, I mean, that's one of the advantages
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:17:58.880
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
of a replicant, they can recreate the communications
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:02.040
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
of that person.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:06.600
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Do you hope, do you think, do you hope
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:10.320
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
humans will become a multi planetary species?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:14.400
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
You've talked about the phases, the six epochs,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:17.440
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and one of them is reaching out into the stars in part.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:20.040
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yes, but the kind of attempts we're making now
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:23.600
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
to go to other planetary objects
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:28.240
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
doesn't excite me that much
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:34.400
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
because it's not really advancing anything.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:36.560
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
It's not efficient enough?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:38.840
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yeah, and we're also putting out other human beings,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:41.160
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which is a very inefficient way
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:48.120
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
to explore these other objects.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:50.440
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
What I'm really talking about in the sixth epoch,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:52.600
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
the universe wakes up.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:18:57.800
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
It's where we can spread our super intelligence
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:00.240
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
throughout the universe.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:03.080
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And that doesn't mean sending a very soft,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:05.400
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
squishy creatures like humans.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:08.120
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yeah, the universe wakes up.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:10.200
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I mean, we would send intelligence masses of nanobots
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:13.840
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which can then go out and colonize
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:18.840
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
these other parts of the universe.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:24.880
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Do you think there's intelligent alien civilizations
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:29.000
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
out there that our bots might meet?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:31.600
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
My hunch is no.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:35.240
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Most people say yes, absolutely.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:38.760
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I mean, and the universe is too big.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:40.720
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And they'll cite the Drake equation.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:43.480
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And I think in Singularity is Near,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:46.160
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I have two analyses of the Drake equation,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:52.560
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
both with very reasonable assumptions.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:19:56.200
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And one gives you thousands of advanced civilizations
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:00.000
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
in each galaxy.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:04.960
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And another one gives you one civilization.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:07.440
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And we know of one.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:11.840
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
A lot of the analyses are forgetting
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:13.680
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
the exponential growth of computation.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:16.600
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Because we've gone from where the fastest way
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:21.200
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I could send a message to somebody was with a pony,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:24.840
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
which was what, like a century and a half ago?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:30.160
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
To the advanced civilization we have today.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:34.920
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
And if you accept what I've said,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:37.880
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
go forward a few decades,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:40.880
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
you can have absolutely fantastic amount of civilization
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:42.720
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
compared to a pony, and that's in a couple hundred years.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:46.800
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Yeah, the speed and the scale of information transfer
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:50.400
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
is growing exponentially in a blink of an eye.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:53.320
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Now think about these other civilizations.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:20:58.720
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
They're gonna be spread out at cosmic times.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:01.680
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So if something is like ahead of us or behind us,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:06.320
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
it could be ahead of us or behind us by maybe millions
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:10.160
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
of years, which isn't that much.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:14.280
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
I mean, the world is billions of years old,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:16.440
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
14 billion or something.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:21.520
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So even a thousand years, if two or 300 years is enough
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:23.960
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
to go from a pony to fantastic amount of civilization,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:29.760
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
we would see that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:33.920
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So of other civilizations that have occurred,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:35.920
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
okay, some might be behind us, but some might be ahead of us.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:39.720
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
If they're ahead of us, they're ahead of us
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:43.960
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
by thousands, millions of years,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:45.800
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
and they would be so far beyond us,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:49.560
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
they would be doing galaxy wide engineering.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:51.760
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
But we don't see anything doing galaxy wide engineering.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:21:56.200
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So either they don't exist, or this very universe
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:00.080
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
is a construction of an alien species.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:05.120
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
We're living inside a video game.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:08.340
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Well, that's another explanation that yes,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:11.760
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
you've got some teenage kids in another civilization.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:14.840
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
Do you find compelling the simulation hypothesis
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:19.140
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
as a thought experiment that we're living in a simulation?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:22.280
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
The universe is computational.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:25.640
Ray Kurzweil: Singularity, Superintelligence, and Immortality | Lex Fridman Podcast #321
So we are an example in a computational world.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0321-large.html#01:22:29.400
