Hope you read this mate. Love your podcast. Its a great source of inspiration for me and i hope for a lot of other people. I only wandered if Freeman Dyson was still alive (one of my favourite people), what a podcast with him would have been like :/ Keep up the good work :D Dog on mate

7 years ago I formulated an idea for an algorithm that would use evolutionary computation to evolve the topology and all other aspects of deep neural network training to find the best neural network architecture, hyperparameters, and meta-parameters to solve a problem. I spent years implementing the library on github and fought multiple companies that wanted to take the ip from me. Today I learned it's a field of Computer Science called Neuroevolution. I am both a little sad that my idea was/is unoriginal and also deeply fascinated by the perspectives and approaches from Mr. Miikkulainen and Lex. Thanks for hosting this conversation, Lex. It likely changed my whole life.
Neuro-evolution: and Unoriginality, you are on the right path, but continue on your journey. Just write a few paragraphs down, then look at Unoriginality. Write words that aren't in a recognisable language, yet every person will recognise?
Evolutionary computation is the most exciting topic in computer science for me because I believe it will give you answers and solutions for all other questions. Thank you, Lex for this guest.
30years, touching the Game of Life and continuously experiencing it in amazement... From the first time it was obvious, THE model for evolution. The first time (That I remember.) was this podcast tying the two together. Gave up years ago trying to discuss with others. So many thanks.
Currently reading a book that was suggested by a guest a few weeks ago and really enjoying it. Lex, I wanted to say thank you for all you are doing. I find your discussions of real value and I just wanted to let you know that. I am sure you would make a great friend, but a great podcast host will do.
I think the whole section on ‘fear of death’ is based on some technically “ill-posed” premises. Encoding fear into agents is possible and impossible at the same time, depending on its initial definition. If fear of death is thought as an environmental stressor compelling the agents to perform certain actions faster or different in a competitive environment, well doesnt seem that difficult. What’s difficult, well inpossible, is to encode the perception of fear into an agent without a sensing body and without some kind of self observation mechanism. The intelligence associated to performing tasks and the embodied intelligence with which our bodies evolved to process external and internal stimuli, are two different things. What about children anyway, they have no conceptualisation of death whatsoever and no fear. Are they not “intelligent”?
Probably the podcast i look forward to listening to🙏 too many great guests and always a substantial, rich, full and lengthy conversations. Keep it up Lex🙏🏴
Lex, this podcast is incredible , really. It's part of my daily routine now. So many interesting topics, discussed with so many interesting guests. Just started applying to get my first dev job , once I do (meaning , hopefully finances get ok soon), I'll definitly conribute. Have a nice day man
Thank you, Lex. You have become an inspiration to learn about AI, and a role model for me personally in productivity and view of life. Looking forward to your work and future podcast episodes
When you were discussing Extra Terristrial life around 1.24.30 and thinking of a word to describe how humans wouldn't or may not even be aware they'd even been visited, maybe the word would be solipsistic instead of self obsessed? Definition (not mine): 'a theory holding that the self can know nothing but its own modifications and that the self is the only existent thing'. I used to teach Solipsism in regards to characters in Literature, so I could be wrong to try to apply it here, but that is what came to mind as I listened. Awesome podcast, thank you.
maybe more like each individual has an appreciation of their heritage and respects another’s heritage; but they wouldn’t let ethnic differences stand in the way of progress. Rather they will try to use each of their own unique perspectives and experiences in problem solving.
Absolutely fascinating interview, with such a clear thinker and excellent explainer Risto. I also admire Lex's questions and leading the conversation towards always interesting topics, curious, which always lead to greater meaning. I really would like to know how do you prepare for each and different guest you interview. Thank you for the podcasts Lex. BTW, I was very surprised with name Risto, which is a very common Macedonian name (where I come from), how did Risto ended up with such a name if he is a Finnish origin?
Risto is a very common name here in Finland. From Wikipedia: "Risto (Serbian: Ристо) is a masculine given name, found in Finnish, Estonian and South Slavic." I'd guess in all of these areas, the ethymology is the same (Greek: Χριστόφορος).
Really great conversation! Amazing and inspiring. Thanks Dr. Fridman for giving us opportunities to hear what great minds think about the world, knowledge, and ideas.
57:00 I think the thing with dancing and human:robot interactions is the lack of “organically” generated elegant imperfections. Things that are too perfect seem abnormal because life is not perfect and everyone is really just flying by the seat of their pants and making it up as we go. Robots won’t seem normal until they too are operating at that level and not on pre-choreographed interactions. We humans take a our neural anatomy and growth/raising/maturing for granted. Humans train their algorithms all life and especially in the young age where the entire purpose is to figure out how one interacts with their environment. Not that it stops after adolescence but after adolescence there’s a fairly solid foundation of human&environmental interactions that is operated on. Love the podcast. 1:10:00 so what you’re saying is that life is complex enough that the optimal way to develop large complex algorithms is to make a “seed”.
Fantastic 👏 👏 .. it is indeed interesting how different systems learn through interaction. Gross motor skills and visual-spatial skills are very strongly connected to language. A medical emergency for our daughter at
Humans are an incredible effective system from a cybernetics point of view. Adaptive, energy efficient, robust and resilient. I hope this showed again in the case of your daughter and she is alright or at least getting better!!! Hang in there.
@@cmag8924 thank you for your kind words.. she is now 15 and a typical teenager 😉 she recovered her speech but initially it took her several minutes before she could speak. Now you would never know as there is no delay.
... also as she was assessed as part of a PhD thesis early on, we discovered she had amazing visual spatial and pattern matching ability. Perhaps it supports Lex' and Risto's discussion on common (abstract) functions underpinning vision and language 🤔

#176 was the best podcast Ive listened to, possibly ever. Thats saying a lot considering so many of your videos are high caliber. I wont be able to keep up if you keep posting so late!
Lex....a big ask but I was just diagnosed with MS (at 52-late and a lot of damage to the brain) and wondered if you would consider a discussion as no matter the topic, you always meet it with a thoughtful inquisitive mind which always elevates the subject. I know it may be left field but since it is a disease of mind and nervous system, you have a parallel tract of thought.
There is a doctor Gabor Mate who wrote a book on his theory of the causes of many chronic illnesses, including MS. The book is called, When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress. I haven't read it, but have listened to his lectures on the topic here on RUclips, that were super interesting, and at least potentially a new point of view when looking at these illnesses. I'm not an expert in any way, just passing along the recommendation in case it could be helpful to you.
@@bigdumbhawk3354 thank you for your suggestion. I will look at it. My doctor said there is a strong (unknown why though) correlation with Epstein Barr virus (mono)and I had a hell of a time with it when I was younger. In bed for 9 months when I was 12. Had it two more consecutive years-again for 3 months, and again for two weeks. We are only peeking into these diseases. It really throws you a curve ball when you see images your brain and the blackholes from years of damage.
the main reason for our technological evolution is written record. we are the only species to rely on something other than memory to store information. very few people ever come up with brand new ideas; these are true rarities. even fewer would without the training afforded by studying past people's ideas.
Huge fan of evolutionary computation. We know the brain still kicks the ass of the most complex Deep Learning architectures in the quality of learning ability and its astounding power efficiency (just 40 W) given its amazing intelligence - recreating the process that led to the human brain has to be a component of the strategy to achieve AGI
The question at roughly 31:00 about artificially augmenting the mind, and is our intelligence tied to the constraints of our skull That reminded me of an article I read about neuron linkage. If neurons are only linked to nearest neighbors, you get a ripple pool firing pattern. If they are only linked to far away, you get a strobe light Certain mixtures give good results I think that would have to be taken into account when plugging in lots of input/output patches to external systems
Neuroevolution, Artificial Life, ~2 hours and neither gentlemen mentions Thomas Ray and Tierra? Man! Don't miss out,Lex! Related to talk but not previous sentence: Can you get Stuart Kauffman on? Sacred Science? Deep and powerful.
The result of re-run of the simulation would depend upon the the initial condition, if it's same then same outcome otherwise completely different outcome imo (~like in chaos theory)... So by initial condition I mean like all the photons, other particle at the same place at same time(might be overestimating)
There's a study of the Himba tribe in Namibia, carried out by an Australian I believe - may have been South African - that showed that language and vision are interconnected. I'm a bit sketchy on the exact details, there is a documentary about it but I can't find it right now, but the tribe, I believe, had the same word for the colour of blue in the daytime sky as they had for a certain green of trees, and when shown a square of the blue colour of sky next to squares of the particular green of trees, they couldn't differentiate between the two colours, but other cultures could see the blue square immediately, and it was obviously blue against green; however, when the the colour of green plants was shown next to many squares of the green of trees, which to us were obviously very similar, other cultures couldn't tell the difference in colour, but the tribes' people spotted the different one immediately. Imbedded perception.
Yo, Lex! I'm disabled as fuck due to systemic cartilage destruction throughout my body. It sucks more than you could know...so (when you get a spare minute, lol) could you get one of your super smart buddies to figure out a cure for cartilage regeneration? Would be greatly appreciated! Love the podcast btw. You do a very good job, and your passion shines through.
Someone outside our own simulation, there are two learned individuals talking about psychotic hominids that invented social media, elected reality star presidents, and stumbled through a pandemic.
No, sharks are thought to have emerged late during the Ordovician period. The Ordovician period started 485 million years ago and spanned about 45 million years. Trees emerged after at around 370 million years ago when plants started colonizing land.
Odd passing thought; could mycelium chains be used to house more complex nanotech, like neuro link. Nerve repair or machine interface ports..no micro transmission nodes..? 🤔🤪🤫
Some of us look for facts Others just for something to believe in ,Me to but not Blindly ! Let's stay on track Which you Are ! Genius.Life is a Mind Field . Remember death is not a Option ! Fight

Thank you for enabling very serious, accomplished professionals to discuss abstract topics such as consciousness and alternative life.
Always excited for the episodes featuring professors/scientists. They offer something other podcasts don't.
More science, tech guests please :)
You have over 1 Million Subs. You are changing The World Lex. Keep being one of the good guys.
@Lex Fridman I wonder how many people fall for these lame bots.
So so appreciative of lex for asking all these interesting people for advice for young people

14:22 "do you think it's possible to engineer into computational agents a fear of mortality?"
*mindblown*
yes and it is even easy, I definitely won't explain how

Yes, the concept is amazing but to do so is, computationally, is quite easy.

So hilarious to hear Lex chuckling at 26:04 "you know what you had to do initially to get this thing going..."
Hahaha... I noticed that too:)
I do appreciate no ads

I wish Lex would bring Linus Torvalds on the show one day.
YES PLEASE
Linus seems to have a too much of a ego to go on shows like this, i dont trust him either, guy seems like a he got bought and the money wasnt enough
see, russians and finns can get along quite well... :)
Nationalism is dead for the folks with higher IQs; they find likeminded people all around the world and flourish.

57:00 I think the thing with dancing and human:robot interactions is the lack of “organically” generated elegant imperfections.
Things that are too perfect seem abnormal because life is not perfect and everyone is really just flying by the seat of their pants and making it up as we go.
