Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | some other cells external environment, right? So where does that with that border between you, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:29:57.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | you and the outside world, you don't really know where that is, right? Every every collection of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:02.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | cell has to figure that out from scratch. And the fact that evolution requires all of these things | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:05.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | to figure out what they are, what effectors they have, what sensors they have, where does it make | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:10.880 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | sense to draw a boundary between me and the outside world? The fact that you have to build all | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:15.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that from scratch, this autopoiesis is what defines the border of a self. Now, biology uses like a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:18.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | multi a multi scale competency architecture, meaning that every level has goals. So so | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:26.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | molecular networks have goals, cells have goals, tissues, organs, colonies. And and it's the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:31.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | interplay of all of those that that enable biology to solve problems in new ways, for example, in | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:38.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | xenobots and various other things. This is, you know, it's exactly as you said, in many ways, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:43.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | the cells are discovering new ways of being. But at the same time, evolution certainly shapes all | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:50.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | this. So so evolution is very good at this agential bioengineering, right? When evolution | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:30:56.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | is discovering a new way of being an animal, you know, an animal or a plant or something, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:01.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | sometimes it's by changing the hardware, you know, protein, changing proteins, protein structure, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:06.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and so on. But much of the time, it's not by changing the hardware, it's by changing the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:10.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | signals that the cells give to each other. It's doing what we as engineers do, which is try to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:14.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | convince the cells to do various things by using signals, experiences, stimuli. That's what biology | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:17.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | does. It has to, because it's not dealing with a blank slate. Every time as you know, if you're | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:22.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | evolution, and you're trying to make make a make an organism, you're not dealing with a passive | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:27.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | material that is fresh, and you have to specify it already wants to do certain things. So the easiest | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:32.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | way to do that search to find whatever is going to be adaptive, is to find the signals that are | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:37.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | going to convince cells to do various things, right? Your sense is that evolution operates | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:42.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | both in the software and the hardware. And it's just easier, more efficient to operate in the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:48.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | software. Yes. And I should also say, I don't think the distinction is sharp. In other words, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:54.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I think it's a continuum. But I think we can but I think it's a meaningful distinction where you can | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:31:58.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | make changes to a particular protein, and now the enzymatic function is different, and it metabolizes | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:03.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | differently, and whatever, and that will have implications for fitness. Or you can change the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:08.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | huge amount of information in the genome that isn't structural at all. It's, it's, it's signaling, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:14.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | it's when and how do cells say certain things to each other. And that can have massive changes, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:20.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | as far as how it's going to solve problems. I mean, this idea of multi hierarchical | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:25.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | competence architecture, which is incredible to think about. So this hierarchy that evolution | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:29.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | builds, I don't know who's responsible for this. I also see the incompetence of bureaucracies | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:35.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | of humans when they get together. So how the hell does evolution build this, where at every level, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:43.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | only the best get to stick around, they somehow figure out how to do their job without knowing | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:53.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | the bigger picture. And then there's like the bosses that do the bigger thing somehow, or that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:32:57.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | you can now abstract away the small group of cells as a as an organ or something. And then | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:04.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that organ does something bigger in the context of the full body or something like this. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:11.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | How is that built? Is there some intuition you can kind of provide of how that's constructed, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:17.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that that hierarchical competence architecture? I love that competence, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:23.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | just the word competence is pretty cool in this context, because everybody's good at their job. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:29.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Yeah, no, it's really key. And the other nice thing about competency is that so my central | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:34.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | belief in all of this is that engineering is the right perspective on all of this stuff, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:39.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | because it gets you away from subjective terms. You know, people talk about sentience and this | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:43.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and that those things very hard to define, or people argue about them philosophically. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:50.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I think that engineering terms like competency, like, you know, pursuit of goals, right? All of | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:33:54.880 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | these things are, are empirically incredibly useful, because you know, when you see it, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:02.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and if it helps you build, right, if I if I can pick the right level, I say, this thing has, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:06.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I believe this is x level of like, competency, I think it's like a thermostat, or I think it's | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:11.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | like a better thermostat, or I think it's a, you know, various other kinds of, you know, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:17.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | many, many different kinds of complex systems. If that helps me to control and predict and build | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:22.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | such systems, then that's all there is to say, there's no more philosophy to argue about. So I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:28.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | like competency in that way, because you can quantify, you could, you have to, in fact, you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:32.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | have to, you have to make a claim competent at what? And then, or if I say, if I tell you, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:35.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | it has a goal, the question is, what's the goal? And how do you know? And I say, well, because | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:38.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | every time I deviated from this particular state, that's what it spends energy to get back to, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:42.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that's the goal. And we can quantify it, and we can be objective about it. So so so the the, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:46.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | we're not used to thinking about this, I give a talk sometimes called Why don't robots get cancer, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:51.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | right? And the reason robots don't get cancer is because generally speaking, with a few exceptions, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:34:56.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | our architectures have been, you've got a bunch of dumb parts. And you hope that if you put them | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:00.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | together, the the the overlying machine will have some intelligence and do something rather, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:05.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | right, but the individual parts don't don't care, they don't have an agenda. Biology isn't like | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:09.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that every level has an agenda. And the final outcome is the result of cooperation and competition, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:13.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | both within and across levels. So for example, during embryogenesis, your tissues and organs are | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:20.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | competing with each other. And it's actually a really important part of development, there's a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:25.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | reason they compete with each other, they're not all just, you know, sort of helping each other, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:28.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | they're also competing for information for metabolic for limited metabolic constraints. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:33.440 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | But to get back to your your other point, which is, you know, which is which is the seems like | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:38.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | really efficient and good and so on compared to some of our human efforts. We also have to keep | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:43.440 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | in mind that what happens here is that each level bends the option space for the level beneath so | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:48.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that your parts basically they don't see the the geometry. So I'm using them. And I think I take | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:35:56.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I take this the seriously terminology from from like, from like relativity, right, where the space | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:03.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | is literally bent. So the option space is deformed by the higher level so that the lower levels, all | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:10.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | they really have to do is go down their concentration gradient, they don't have to, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:15.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | in fact, they don't, they can't know what the big picture is. But if you bend the space just right, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:18.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | if they do what locally seems right, they end up doing your bidding, they end up doing things that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:22.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | are optimal in the in the higher space. Conversely, because the components are good at getting their | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:26.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | job done, you as the higher level don't need to try to compute all the low level controls, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:33.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | all you're doing is bending the space, you don't know or care how they're going to do it. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:38.880 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Give you a super simple example in the in the tappel, we found that okay, so so tappels need | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:42.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | to become frogs and to become to go from a tappel head to a frog head, you have to rearrange the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:47.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | face. So the eyes have to move forward, the jaws have to come out the nostrils move like everything | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:51.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | moves. It used to be thought that because all tappels look the same, and all frogs look the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:55.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | same. If you just remember, if every piece just moves in the right direction, the right amount, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:36:59.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | then you get your you get your fraud. Right. So we decided to test we I have this hypothesis that I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:03.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | thought I thought actually, the system is probably more intelligent than that. So what did we do? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:08.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | We made what we call Picasso tappels. So these are so everything is scrambled. So the eyes are on the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:11.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | back of the head, the jaws are off to the side, everything is scrambled. Well, guess what they | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:15.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | make, they make pretty normal frogs, because all the different things move around in novel | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:18.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | paths configurations until they get to the correct froggy sort of frog face configuration, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:23.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | then they stop. So, so the thing about that is now imagine evolution, right? So, so you make some | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:28.240 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | sort of mutation, and it does, like every mutation, it does many things. So something good comes of it, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:34.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | but also it moves your mouth off to the side, right? Now, if if there wasn't this multi scale | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:40.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | competency, you can see where this is going, if there wasn't this multi scale competency, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:46.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | the organism would be dead, your fitness is zero, because you can't eat. And you would never get to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:49.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | explore the other beneficial consequences of that mutation, you'd have to wait until you find some | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#00:37:53.200 |
