Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | make two headed animals. So that information, that memory, that electrical circuit, not only does it | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:12:59.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | hold the information for how many heads, not only does it use that information to tell the cells | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:05.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | what to do to regenerate, but it stores it. Once you've reset it, it keeps. And we can go back, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:09.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | we can take a two headed animal and put it back to one headed. So now imagine, so there's a couple | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:14.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | of interesting things here that that have implications for understanding what genomes | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:18.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and things like that. Imagine I take this two headed animal. Oh, and by the way, when they | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:22.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | reproduce, when they tear themselves in half, you still get two headed animals. So imagine I take | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:27.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | them and I throw them in the Charles River over here. So 100 years later, some scientists come | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:31.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | along and they scoop up some samples and they go, oh, there's a single headed form and a two headed | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:34.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | form. Wow, a speciation event. Cool. Let's sequence the genome and see why, what happened. The genomes | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:38.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | are identical. There's nothing wrong with the genome. So if you ask the question, how does, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:43.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | so, so this goes back to your very first question is where do body plans come from, right? How does | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:47.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | the planarian know how many heads it's supposed to have? Now it's interesting because you could | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:51.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | say DNA, but what happened, what, what, as it turns out, the DNA produces a piece of hardware | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:13:55.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that by default says one head the way that when you turn on a calculator, by default, it's a zero | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:01.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | every single time, right? When you turn it on, it just says zero, but it's a programmable calculator | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:07.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | as it turns out. So once you've changed that next time, it won't say zero. It'll say something else | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:11.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and the same thing here. So you can make, you can make one headed, two headed, you can make no | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:16.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | headed worms. We've done some other things along these lines, some other really weird constructs. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:19.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | So, so this, this, this, this question of, right. So again, it's really important. The, the hardware | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:24.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | software distinction is really important because the hardware is essential because without proper | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:28.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | hardware, you're never going to get to the right physiology of having that memory. But once you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:33.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | have it, it doesn't fully determine what the information is going to be. You can have other | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:38.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | information in there and it's reprogrammable by us, by bacteria, by various parasites, probably | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:42.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | things like that. The other amazing thing about these planarias, think about this, most animals, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:47.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | when we get a mutation in our bodies, our children don't inherit it, right? So you can go on, you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:52.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | could run around for 50, 60 years getting mutations. Your children don't have those mutations | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:14:56.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | because we go through the egg stage. Planaria tear themselves in half and that's how they reproduce. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:00.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | So for 400 million years, they keep every mutation that they've had that doesn't kill the cell that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:05.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | it's in. So when you look at these planaria, their bodies are what's called mixoploid, meaning that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:10.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | every cell might have a different number of chromosomes. They look like a tumor. If you look | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:14.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | at the, the, the, the, the genome is an incredible mess because they accumulate all this stuff. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:17.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | And yet the, their body structure is, they are the best regenerators on the planet. Their anatomy is | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:22.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | rock solid, even though their genome is always all kinds of crap. So this is a kind of a scandal, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:28.240 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | right? That, you know, when we learn that, well, you know, what are genomes to what genomes determine | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:32.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | your body? Okay. Why is the animal with the worst genome have the best anatomical control, the most | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:37.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | cancer resistant, the most regenerative, right? Really, we're just beginning to start to understand | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:41.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | this relationship between the, the genomically determined hardware and, and, and by the way, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:46.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | just as of, as of a couple of months ago, I think I now somewhat understand why this is, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:50.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | but it's really, it's really a major, you know, a major puzzle. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:55.440 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I mean, that really throws a wrench into the whole nature versus nurture because you usually | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:15:57.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | associate electricity with the, with the nurture and the hardware with the nature. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:05.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | And it's, there's just this weird integrated mess that propagates through generations. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:13.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Yeah. It's much more fluid. It's much more complex. You can, you can imagine what's, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:19.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | what's happening here is just, just imagine the evolution of a, of a, of an animal like this, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:25.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that, that multi scale, this goes back to this multi scale competency, right? Imagine that you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:29.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | have two, two, two, you have, you have an animal that that where its, its tissues have some degree | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:33.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | of multi scale competency. So for example, if the like, like we saw in the tadpole, you know, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:38.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | if you put an eye on its tail, they can still see out of that eye, right? That the, you know, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:42.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | there's all, there's incredible plasticity. So if you have an animal and it comes up for selection | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:46.240 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and the fitness is quite good, evolution doesn't know whether the fitness is good because the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:50.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | genome was awesome or because the genome was kind of junky, but, but the competency made up for it, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:16:56.880 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | right? And things kind of ended up good. So what that means is that the more competency you have, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:01.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | the harder it is for selection to pick the best genomes, it hides information, right? And so that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:06.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | means that, so, so what happens, you know, evolution basically starts all those start, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:11.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | all the hard work is being done to increase the competency because it's harder and harder to see | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:16.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | the genomes. And so I think in planaria, what happened is that there's this runaway phenomenon | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:21.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | where all the effort went into the algorithm such that we know you got a crappy genome. We can't | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:25.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | keep, we can't clean up the genome. We can't keep track of it. So what's going to happen is what | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:31.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | survives are the algorithms that can create a great worm no matter what the genome is. So | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:35.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | everything went into the algorithm and which, which of course then reduces the pressure on | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:40.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | keeping a, you know, keeping a clean genome. So this idea of, right, and different animals have | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:44.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | this in different, to different levels, but this idea of putting energy into an algorithm that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:49.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | does not overtrain on priors, right? It can't assume, I mean, I think biology is this way in | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:54.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | general, evolution doesn't take the past too seriously because it makes these basically | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:17:59.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | problem solving machines as opposed to like exactly what, you know, to, to, to deal with | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:04.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | exactly what happened last time. Yeah. Problem solving versus memory recall. So a little memory, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:08.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | but a lot of problem solving. I think so. Yeah. In many cases, yeah. Problem solving. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:14.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I mean, it's incredible that those kinds of systems are able to be constructed, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:22.240 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | um, especially how much they contrast with the way we build problem solving systems in the AI world. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:25.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Um, back to Xenobots. I'm not sure if we ever described how Xenobots are built, but | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:32.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I mean, you have a paper titled biological robots perspectives on an emerging interdisciplinary | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:39.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | field. And the beginning you, uh, you mentioned that the word Xenobots is like controversial. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:45.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Do you guys get in trouble for using Xenobots or what? Do people not like the word Xenobots? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:51.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Are you trying to be provocative with the word Xenobots versus biological robots? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:18:57.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I don't know. Is there some drama that we should be aware of? There's a little bit of drama. Uh, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:02.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I think, I think the drama is basically related to people, um, having very fixed ideas about what | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:07.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | terms mean. And I think in many cases, these ideas are completely out of date with, with where science | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:15.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | is now. And for sure they're, they're out of date with what's going to be, I mean, these, these, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:22.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | these concepts, uh, are not going to survive the next couple of decades. So if you ask a person | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:28.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and including, um, you know, a lot of people in biology who kind of want to keep a sharp | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:33.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | distinction between biologicals and robots, right? See, what's a robot? Well, a robot, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:38.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | it comes out of a factory. It's made by humans. It is boring. It is a meaning that you can predict | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:42.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | everything it's going to do. It's made of metal and certain other inorganic materials. Living | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:46.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | organisms are magical. They, they, they arise, right? And so on. So these, these distinctions, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:50.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I think these, these distinctions, I think were, were never good, but, uh, they're going to be | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:19:54.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | completely useless going forward. And so part of, there's a couple of papers that that's one paper | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:00.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and there's another one that Josh Bongar and I wrote where we really attack the terminology. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:05.120 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | And we say these binary categories are based on very, um, nonessential kind of surface, uh, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:09.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | limitations of, of technology and imagination that were true before, but they've got to go. And so, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:16.880 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and so we call them Zenobots. So, so Xeno for Xenopus Levus, where this is, it's the frog that, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:22.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that these guys are made of, but we think it's an example of, of, of, uh, of a biobot technology, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:27.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | because ultimately if we, if we under, once we understand how to, uh, communicate and manipulate, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:32.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | um, the inputs to these cells, we will be able to get them to build whatever we want them to build. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:39.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | And that's robotics, right? It's, it's the rational construction of machines that have | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:45.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | useful purposes. I, I absolutely think that this is a robotics platform, whereas some biologists | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#01:20:49.360 |
