Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
to optimize over.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:25:40.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So I think that's the future,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:25:41.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and that forces us to contend with
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:25:43.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
what do we find compelling and beautiful
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:25:50.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
about the art form itself?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:25:51.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
So certainly an art that's being pushed,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:25:53.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that question is being raised.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:25:56.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Is AI like a fundamentally worse artist than a human being?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:25:58.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Why do we appreciate art?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:03.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Is that, that's something you guys have talked about.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:05.560
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
What do you think about all the Dali
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:07.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and all the diffusion based methods that are being generated
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:10.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that are being, that are generating art now?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:15.140
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
What do you think about that?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:17.380
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I know, I'll tell you what I think,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:18.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
but I also feel like what I'm saying is,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:20.220
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I sound like the guy who didn't like
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:22.620
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that Bob Dylan brought in the electric guitar.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:25.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
You know, the more I talk to Chad about it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:27.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the more I feel like grandpa doesn't wanna let go
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:30.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
of this or that, or I'm not ready for the printing press
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:33.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
or the horseless carriage.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:36.380
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But I do feel that art is a connection between people.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:37.900
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It's, when you look at a beautiful painting or a sculpture,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:44.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
you're seeing the humanity of the person
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:47.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that brought that painting to life
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:49.640
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
or sculpted this incredible piece of art.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:53.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And I think without the human being there to make it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:56.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
it's not worth as much just to have it there
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:26:59.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
because the art, it's advanced.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:03.640
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I've seen it advance, I don't know, you tell me,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:07.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
but I feel like just in the past three or four months,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:09.200
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I'm just a consumer as far as that stuff goes.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:11.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I'm not on the inside.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:13.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I don't get it even, but it's been getting a lot better,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:14.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the betas that they're releasing, right?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:18.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Absolutely, one of the big breakthroughs,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:20.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I mean Dolly really started it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:23.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
is that if you train a system on language,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:24.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
it turns out there's a lot of language
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:28.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and images on the internet,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:31.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
but language is really where it's at
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:33.440
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
in terms of the depth of human knowledge.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:35.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And so if you train a system on language,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:37.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
it's able to generate some incredible art.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:40.120
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And that was the breakthrough.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:42.220
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
With the same kind of mechanisms
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:43.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that are called transformers,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:44.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
they're able to, when scaled,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:45.900
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
capture some deep representation of the language
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:49.560
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that's on the internet.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:52.440
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And so, yeah, the things it's been able to generate to me
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:53.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
look like it's novel.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:27:58.240
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It doesn't look like it's mimicking anything.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:01.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It looks like it's creating totally new ideas.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:03.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And they're beautiful, and they're interesting,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:07.040
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and they're all the ways that we think
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:09.480
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that art is interesting.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:13.300
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
The only thing it's missing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:14.360
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
is the scarcity that art often has,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:15.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
which is it takes a lot of work
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:17.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
for one artist to create one piece,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:19.920
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
one human being to create one piece of art
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:21.520
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that can just generate endlessly.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:24.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And that makes us appreciate the thing less for some reason.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:26.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Do you have any sort of a similar opinion that I do
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:30.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
that if art doesn't come from a human being,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:33.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
it's inherently worth a little less?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:35.660
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah, I think, I don't know if it's the human being,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:38.880
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
but the artist matters.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:41.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Right.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:44.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
For me.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:46.100
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And I think some of that has to do with the world view,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:46.940
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the artist and the backstory, the memories,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:51.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the life that led up to this piece of art,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:54.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the perspective they take on the world,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:57.680
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the journey they took to the world,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:28:59.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
the struggle, the triumphs, all that kind of stuff.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:01.960
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But I think AI systems can probably have the same.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:04.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But we would have to,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:08.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
as opposed to treating it as a one black box,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:10.580
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
it would have to be an artist that has a Twitter account,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:13.720
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and they have a consistent personality,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:17.600
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
they have a consistent avatar.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:19.640
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:21.560
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
And I think down the line,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:22.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
have something like human rights.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:23.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
But then it really becomes awfully like a person.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:25.320
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Oi, that's terrifying.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:28.760
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
As much as I dig dudes, it's terrifying, I hope.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:31.160
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
It's terrifying, like, you know,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:34.400
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
a lot of things that came with the internet
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:36.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
and the digital age are terrifying.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:38.280
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
Porn is terrifying, the mass,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:39.940
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
like the amount of porn that's online now is terrifying.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:41.840
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
The, like you mentioned, Bob Dylan with electric guitar,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:45.180
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
I would compare it more to the leap from,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:48.080
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
to sort of to the Napster and the Spotifyzation of music,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:51.800
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
which is like, you have these,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:58.120
Will Sasso: Comedy, MADtv, AI, Friendship, Madness, and Pro Wrestling | Lex Fridman Podcast #323
it's less about albums now,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0323-large.html#01:29:59.940
