      AI is way behind especially in "solving Universe" - which was recently solved in free "Time Matters eBook" (Hubble redshift is not due to expansion and Big Bang, but thanks to time dilation in past translates into redshift today; Vera Rubin puzzle about fast spinning spiral galaxies and not falling apart is not due to dark matter, but due to time faster at ~0.001 rate in spiral arms, that alone holds galaxies together; and other, if not all, puzzles about our Universe, "UFO" including).

I'll certainly remember this interview for a long time to come.

    I'm truly inspired, overwhelmed, motivated, shocked at how much I can learn. Lex's questions range from the super geek way over my head to the extremely daring "what does it all mean". His questions really bring out who Andrej really is. On the other end, Andrej is so truthful, transparent, present, it is a pure joy to see and hear the best of how we can be in the world. This podcast is a turning point for me.

    • @0cer0
      @0cer0 2 года назад +5

      @@scottydog9997 Lex has a remarkable way of speaking. It looks to me as if he wants to get into a state of purposelessness, to be able to express what his mind finds, uninfluenced and without too much control by his everyday consciousness. It's like ink painting in Zen or Cy Twombly’s struggle for elimination of personal influences on the image result. So it is that Lex lets the words flow out of him, with a minimum of control and at the pace at which they form in his mind. And that's what creates this slurred, indistinct speech pattern. One should not interpret this as a lack of smartness. If you pay attention to the content and less to the form, you will better recognize the sharpness of his mind. (Funny, of course, is the contrast with Andrej's super-accented, extremely efficient speaking style...)

    In my view, this is the best AI interview conducted by Lex to date.
    41:50 - This is the main reason why large language models understand and reason, in many cases, in a similar way to how humans do.
    The psychological and/or philosophical (extremely simple) idea underlying the success of these large language models is that the brain may be, fundamentally, a predictive system. Whose main goal is the prediction of characters/words, pixels/images, ... If we consider this hypothesis (that could be) true, then we should focus our efforts on developing architectures (e.g. Transformers) that allow us to make better predictions.

Both OpenAI (GPT-3) and Tesla autonomous driving are the first “consumer” friendly applications of AI that truly impressed me, and are the stuff of science fiction.

    Apart from everything else he's done, Andrej is also one of the most influential people in the rubik's cube community - his old tutorial videos on F2L OLL and PLL on the badmephisto channel were the entry point into high level cubing for a lot of top solvers and content creators today

    The most interesting question in this interview is asked at 13:59 when Lex Says, 'The jump from bacteria to more complex organisms is the hardest jump'.
    How can it be that on earth we made the jump from bacteria to where we are today: a technological society. (and how can it be that we haven't found other planets where this happened too)/
    I suspect the main reason lies in the fact that the earth got tilted 4.5 billion years ago.
    Because of this we have our seasons and every day differs from all other days in terms of temperature and the amount of sunlight and weather conditions overall.
    Evolution thrives on constantly changing environments . A bacteria might thrive with 18 hours of sunlight everyday (June) but fail to do so with only 6 hours (December). In a situation where earth was not tilted you would get 12 hours of sunlight everyday.
    So it's plausible that on a tilted earth evolutionary forces are factor X higher than evolutionary forces on a non-tilted earth. This might have speeded up evolution with X billion years and be the main reason we are the most advanced form of life in the universe relatively close to us.
    @Lex really interested to get your take on this.

    • @jannekestuulen9521
      @jannekestuulen9521 2 года назад +1

      Extremely intesting thought! This might indeed be one of the main reason we have made this jump so quickly.

    • @emieldevries7397
      @emieldevries7397 2 года назад +2

      Very interesting indeed. It should be possible to estimate different evolutionary speeds by simulating this in a scientific controlled environment. This could give an estimate of how quickly life would get to the current level of complexity in a situation where the earth is not tilted.
