There are multiple reasons you don't hear much about George Hotz. He's rather visceral and to the point on his competition. So very little lip service in that he doesn't tow anyones line. No Woke talking points. Q:What about Universal Basic Income? "Where is this Free Money coming from? Who has the authority to give Free Money? Basically a pariah in Silicon Valley.
He's also pretty ignorant in his own field. Anyone working in computer vision knows the importance of feature verification in deep learning sample sets and he's outright saying he doesn't care about the why and even trashing Teslas label driven approach as if its somehow inferior for having that extra verification layer. You absolutely need that if safety or reliability is at all a concern for you. You want your deep learning to be as transparent as possible to your engineers, lest the computer come to some kind of obscure decision you don't understand and can't unpack until you build an additional feature layer to actually analyze it. And when it comes to self driving cars, thats literally putting people's lives at risk, there is a reason Tesla insists on that extra layer and its not just for the regulators, its for their own liability as well. They want to be able to say at any point if something went wrong they know exactly what happened and that they accounted for it as best they could. And trashing lidar? Seriously? It's one thing to say it's expensive but to say it like its unnecessary or inferior is just amateurish. At the very least you need some kind of TOF or stereo vision, single camera CV is deeply inferior to depth based methods and he should know that.

This guy is freaking incredible. I would have needed days to think about some questions. And some more time to try to explain my answers so easily and clearly.

Lidar is off the mark though. Though I'm sure he understands and is just being hyperbolic. If, and yes it's a very big if... lidar did become cheap enough, it definitely will benefit self-driving. In certain situations such as extreme snow/fog, lidar will provide critical (life-saving) info that is simply impossible to achieve with pure cameras (or at least, you can argue that you would be able to drive much faster, safely in such conditions).
Awesome interview, really great questions being asked, really good topics, you let the interviewed reply and did not interrupt him even a single time -which nowadays even TV interviewers sometimes do-, good video editing... New subscriber here
That's a terrible quote... It's ridiculous to say that because if it were that simple we'd have solved all these problems already; my Tetris AI would have been superhuman instead of not working at all for example. The reason we have all these intermediate layers of, say, object recognition or sentence parsing, is that just evolving the AI directly to the holistic solution is extremely hard and almost all attempts have failed. That's why tons of types of neural networks exist. We use smaller steps like evolve it to recognize a lane line, now to understand a pedestrian, etc., so that we can break down the problem and build toward the whole solution. Also, understanding why it isn't working is critical to human-problem solving like me trying to fix the training process so that it doesn't hit that cone next time. Just jumping straight to the end has been tried countless times in countless areas and it doesn't work. If that made sense, why is he working on driving AI and not just going straight to AGI? Same reason Tesla is working on perception instead of driving. EXCEPT, this guy has actually been meaningfully successful with this problem so he gets a pass to say it. But as a general way that most people should operate, it's horrible.
@@MiscMitz Oh lol. Well in that case I still totally disagree. :p The way I was taught is completely useless now thanks to calculators and phones. Fortunately, I naturally think in a general problem solving way that I applied to math that made it super easy, and that has remained widely useful in almost every aspect of life. That way of thinking is also how everyone else I know that also found it easy said they think. My limited understanding of Common Core is that that's basically what it teaches. So that's great that you know this one answer by luck or some other means, but you didn't actually demonstrate that you learned what they are trying to teach.
18:53 "The only difference between human and the birds is that humans think they are special".. He chalks it off as a flipping answer but that's the most profound and true statement. He is absolutely right about that. Hence we create problems and create solutions to solve those problems which creates even more problems and we go on and on. Actually, we are not that different from the machines, just like the birds.
Mr. Hotz is unstuck from time. He’s sure it will happen and won’t be pinned down as to when, because he doesn’t care! He believes it into reality. Very powerful.
@@rickjames5998 If you followed the approach comma is taking then it wont matter much. The differences are mostly a matter of degrees and an artificial venner of choice. Many of their actions and the direcitons these countries are oging are aligned.
Amazing content. I am a big fun of Georges, he is a genius and truly visionary. He is also into economy, philosophy etc, I love it. Interviewer also did a very good job. Good questions.
But current Tesla cars basically are self driving cars. He use to brag about taking less long of a time compared to competitors. And some of his comparisons are strange, we have 20 years of driving data, 20 year olds can drive? "So there you go." What!? More interviews I hear with him make me more and more skeptical.
@@doom2avatar There are so many strange things he says and dismisses out of hand. If the car stops every-time at a stop sign, I don't care if its because of the sign, the white line or something else the point is it stops. This is very specious reasoning, of course you want to know. What happens if the only reason is the white line and in some rare places there is no white line,etc. Also he point out the diminishing returns of more and more data, while technically true if the more and more data is massive amounts of data that mitigates some of those diminishing returns. And some returns is still meaningful.
@@JayDee-b5u If he actually produces a good product good for him (and us). But a lot of his answers seem like evasions or something that might sound surfaces level reasonable but less so more you look into it. This is the 3rd long form interview I have seen of his over the years plus some articles and he does not come across well to me.
11:09 is the key take-away. ML deals with last mile issues (sorry for driving metaphor; actually applies to any domain specific challenge) without ever building the hundreds of miles of infrastructure required to really solve last mile issues. AI, real AI, AGI, whatever you want to call it, is about THE system that can deal with playing games, driving, engaging in hours-long conversations, etc.
I would have to correct George on one thing. Mark was not the first to drop out of Harvard and start a company. Bill Gates was the first one to do that, along with Paul Allen. And there were others, too, in that era. Steve Wozniak (Apple), Larry Ellison (Oracle), etc.
Larry Elder for California Governor! Spread the word everywhere, especially cali residents! Be an advocate, get the word out! We're down to the wire... the election is in less than a month, sept 14th! (Ballots available now) This election is all about *turnout* and a victory could be the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche! For freedom. Lets gooo!!!! "You can lose a fight, but you can't win a surrender." - Andrew Klavan
Tommy Anomaly stalling legislature isn't really bad for libertarians, given the republican inclination of doing the same thing progressives do by adding "freedom" and "patriot" in the name of those Acts.
Super interview, Georges is a genius and he definitely path the way to Net application design. Decentralization and multiple copy AI must be core as hearth beat, a filter layer to personalize result, from time to time a super computer boost injected in the network.
14:09 One question which I thought got less credit than it deserved in this interview, and to which I think George gave a shallow answer: "For edge cases, don't you need a general AI that reasons like a human, e.g. a ball comes across the road - a human would know a child might come after the ball but a machine wouldn't know that." George said that his model would simply look at how many times it's seen a child chase a ball. But in the 10M minutes of driving footage which he claimed to be enough already, that might not actually be a captured edge case. A human knows perhaps from its experience of watching children play, or indeed of having been a child itself and making its own decision to chase a ball. I think George's point was that OK fine, maybe one day for edge cases we'll need to train our driving AI what it's like to be a child, or to know how a cat or a dog behaves near roads, in order to contribute to its safe driving decision making. But that does go to show how far off full self-driving might be if we really want to be able to trust it as far as a human. Still, such edge cases might diminish in significance compared with the fact an AI never stops paying attention, or never falls asleep.
Incredibly intelligent, I think it's a lost cause to compete against 3 goliaths, Mobileye, Tesla, and Waymo. He should be in Tesla working Andrej Karpathy or revolutionizing another space like VR.
Its funny only yesterday I saw the previous two interviews and today they release this. 2 things have evolved from watching all three talks, one is my perspective on self driving and 2 on the interviewer's experience in asking question you can just see experience kick in better.
Isn't there a paradox in trying to learn from people to get better ai and become greater over time, where people and corporations may fail in some way? Will ai not learn to also fail some way if it tries to mimick human actions?
I'd move on to cooking and cleaning. Driving as a prototype sounds great, but I don't think you'd ever be chill having a computer drive me when there are so many idiots playing with their phone while driving. But I'd buy a robot maid that cooked cleaned shopped and FOLDED laundry - I think I'd buy at $30K robot that could do that. And it seems way more easy than driving.
@OhG33Z because at 50 and the kids outta the house soon, i think ive put in enough domestic chores thx and ive found cleaning and laundry dont carry much value for me and well 30k is cheap for what itll buy me
Full autodrive is the biggest safety improvement we could make in modern times in terms of death rate. That's why its being pursued. It also has a lot of built-in market value, which means companies are competing and working hard to solve it, which is exactly what we want. The computer can see in all directions at once and in more than just the visual light spectrum. That means it can see better at all times of day and in all conditions. It can update its picture of the world around it a thousand times per second, where even the best reaction time in humans is around 4 times per second, plus the computer can react in a millisecond instead of the 0.5 to 2 seconds it will take you to input a reaction. The computer will always choose to do the thing with the highest likelihood of success, while you will act mostly on instinct. Plus, once more and more computers are driving, the idiot drivers won't exist. We don't even have to wait for car ownership to turn over. More people won't bother owning cars because it will be a similar cost or cheaper to subscribe to an auto-ride service without the hassle and cost of maintaining a vehicle. Now, we aren't there yet, so not all of these things are quite true _today._ But that's what we're working toward.
It seems easy but is WAY harder. If humans have learnt anything after 70 years of AI research it's that the things that look easy to humans are hard for machines and the tasks are hard for humans are easy for machines.
I'm looking forward and welcome the time when AI has taken over 100% of the driving and humans can't drive vehicles because there's no steering wheel or pedals in the car. This will finally get the psychopaths, dangerous bullies, drunks, visually impaired, texters, caffeinated, and distracted drivers off the road. No more dangerous tailgaters, cutting people off, and road rage. Control freaks (psychopaths and dangerous bullies) hate AI driving because control freaks get their kicks tailgating, cutting people off, and initiating road rage.
Driving using only cameras works, but it can only get to human level. If we want to avoid crashes from behind, and other stuff humans wouldn't see, or can't react to we also need sensors.
29:12 the way he claps his hands and nearly misses because he was deep in thought extrapolating what "competition for governments" means to him made me a little nervous I have to say. Especially with that hidden smile as he turned his head 😭😭😭🤣🤣. What is he up to in that black box of his 😂😂. Good interview
Does anyone else remember the movie Starman? The alien learned to drive by watching a person. After a near miss at an intersection he said "red means stop. Green means go. Yellow means go very fast".
I would like about 8, or however many to achieve full stereo in 360 degrees. Drive not like a regular experienced human, but a human with complete awareness.
the issue with this implementation is that the car can only reproduce something it has learn from human behavior, but people might not perform the most desirable decision. tesla on the other hand, is building a planning solution that they have more control over
I applaud the Reason interviewer Justin Monticello, all excellent questions!

@OhG33Z because at 50 and the kids outta the house soon, i think ive put in enough domestic chores thx and ive found cleaning and laundry dont carry much value for me and well 30k is cheap for what itll buy me
Full autodrive is the biggest safety improvement we could make in modern times in terms of death rate. That's why its being pursued. It also has a lot of built-in market value, which means companies are competing and working hard to solve it, which is exactly what we want.
The computer can see in all directions at once and in more than just the visual light spectrum. That means it can see better at all times of day and in all conditions. It can update its picture of the world around it a thousand times per second, where even the best reaction time in humans is around 4 times per second, plus the computer can react in a millisecond instead of the 0.5 to 2 seconds it will take you to input a reaction. The computer will always choose to do the thing with the highest likelihood of success, while you will act mostly on instinct. Plus, once more and more computers are driving, the idiot drivers won't exist. We don't even have to wait for car ownership to turn over. More people won't bother owning cars because it will be a similar cost or cheaper to subscribe to an auto-ride service without the hassle and cost of maintaining a vehicle.
Now, we aren't there yet, so not all of these things are quite true _today._ But that's what we're working toward.
@OhG33Z Some people want to buy time. Outsourcing manual work is optional path.
It seems easy but is WAY harder. If humans have learnt anything after 70 years of AI research it's that the things that look easy to humans are hard for machines and the tasks are hard for humans are easy for machines.
People who are geniuses just operate on another level. Proof that’s life not fair.
I'm looking forward and welcome the time when AI has taken over 100% of the driving and humans can't drive vehicles because there's no steering wheel or pedals in the car. This will finally get the psychopaths, dangerous bullies, drunks, visually impaired, texters, caffeinated, and distracted drivers off the road. No more dangerous tailgaters, cutting people off, and road rage. Control freaks (psychopaths and dangerous bullies) hate AI driving because control freaks get their kicks tailgating, cutting people off, and initiating road rage.
Driving using only cameras works, but it can only get to human level. If we want to avoid crashes from behind, and other stuff humans wouldn't see, or can't react to we also need sensors.
or just more cameras. 360 stereo should suffice.
Seems to be like Hotz is against UBI. How does that play with his vision of the world where ai and robots replace most jobs?
Really great depth questions by Justin
I want to see it on a course. Having to respond to actual challenges. I bet it fails 90 out of 100 attempts.
George has been notably quiet following Tesla’s AI day.
Cause he's hard at work making it with an n64
@@garystinten9339 😂
At 1:00 when you introduce the comma 3, you are actually show production footage of the old comma 2 lol.
Does George hotz have a stock ? Cause I want to buy that stock
19:00 Different layers of adaptation
29:12 the way he claps his hands and nearly misses because he was deep in thought extrapolating what "competition for governments" means to him made me a little nervous I have to say. Especially with that hidden smile as he turned his head 😭😭😭🤣🤣. What is he up to in that black box of his 😂😂. Good interview
Awesome interview!
Great interviewer, great guest!
Does anyone else remember the movie Starman? The alien learned to drive by watching a person. After a near miss at an intersection he said "red means stop. Green means go. Yellow means go very fast".
Yes, driving using only a camera should be the future. But maybe they should use 2 cameras.
I would like about 8, or however many to achieve full stereo in 360 degrees. Drive not like a regular experienced human, but a human with complete awareness.
You just earned my subscription
Awesome video!
Love how they don’t want to say the name Tesla.. But mentions GM 😂😂😂
the issue with this implementation is that the car can only reproduce something it has learn from human behavior, but people might not perform the most desirable decision. tesla on the other hand, is building a planning solution that they have more control over
6:07 he looks very concerned. lmao, thats a little troubling.
Gold.
