Lex Fridman thank you so much for all this wonderful content! I am really enjoying your podcast. Thank you for making such quality content available to to masses. I am far from a software engineer or any engineer for that matter. I would never have had exposure to such intelligent and talented people’s thoughts if your podcasts didn’t exist. I appreciate you. Keep up the great work.
What is/are the biological mechanism(s), in the brain, that is/are used to "upgrade" our intelligence (evolution), in the form of memories from our experiences, of our environment, that shape who we are in the present tense? And can it (the biological mechanism) be artificially replicated in the form of a computer program? Great interview, by the way Lex!
Is it possible to integrate the dna machine that drives all living forms into quantum computing, in order to resemble how living organisms evolve, from an intellectual viewpoint?
I find myself returning to your podcasts precisely because of your poetic, philosophical, inquisitive nature. Yes, it's nice to provide a forum for these great minds to say what they'd like, but it's fun to see them tasked with answering these big unknowns. Not to mention, it's these lines of inquiry which makes this uniquely your podcast. I hope you enjoy yourself.
I often watch/listen to RUclips on my bedroom TV while I'm trying to get my 1yro son to sleep after getting home off 2nd shift, as a CNC Programmer. Usually my gf is passed out on our couch taking full advantage of being "off duty", and I have the rare opportunity to control the media. My go-to's are MindScape w/ Sean Carrol, JRE, or good ol' Lex. NOTHING put's my son to sleep like Lex's voice/show. It's like audio ambien for the prepubescent, it's completely and continually astounding. Bless this show, it keeps me from seeing double while staring NX CAM on pc screen all day.
You’re a brilliant interviewer. Your philosophical questions are ones which many of us ponder and they promote intriguing conversations. No need to apologize to the critics:)
I don't think so. isn't that the unconstrained vision. the guy is an AI researcher, why are his philosophical views any more important than those of a janitor. this is mimesis in action, people want to give out there ideas on just to be recognized as an intellectual (wannabe intellectual). the misstep of intellectuals is assuming that superior ability in a particular realm can be generalized to superior wisdom or morality overall. chessgrandmasters seldom make this mistake .
@@rishabhchauhan9059 what are you on about? Just becuase he isn't a "Philosopher" that means he cannot ask deep, difficult questions? Sheesh pal, with that mentality, this world is doomed. But hey, that's just my opinion.
@@rishabhchauhan9059 and you really just said Lex is a wannabe intellectual. Yikes. Dude has more intelligence and and wisdom than you in only one neuron.
As a person who cares about determinism vs non-determinism in the universe (being a designer of RNGs for cryptography, particularly now in post-quantum scenarios), getting Scott on is a real treat.
Another outstanding video Lex, much appreciated. You have one of the world's best channels my friend. Thank you for all your hard work, effort, and expense to bring us your gems. A+
I absolutely LOVE that you throw philosophical questions at some of the brightest, more thoughtful people on this planet. WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW THEY ANSWER THE UNANSWERABLE?! Anyone who complains about this is undoubtedly too narrow minded.
Thanks to Mr. Aaronson for being on your podcast. Just in our last theoretical basis of cs(/informatics) lecture our professor pointed to Aaronsons paper P=?NP. I also want to thank Mr. Aaronson for him opening up about his experience as a young man. I there are people that feel similar today and learned from his experience.
I love the philosophical questions. But it is worth noting that you are also the only interviewer I see who forces people to define their jargon. People have to explain things to you in a way that makes it possible for any interested person to follow along. In doing so, you are able to explore many cracks and crevices that often go overlooked. There are plenty of interviews of these famous people, where the interviewer asks them predictable questions. Don't take the haters too seriously. You have good instincts or you wouldn't get 34k views in 24 hours. Keep on rocking!
This is one of my favorite podcasts. You have an amazing ability to carry an informational conversation in an entertaining manner. I listen to alot of different podcasts and you are one of the best. Keep asking the right questions
The fact that we can listen to these intelligent guests for free, and have the interviewer apologizing for those who don't appreciate his style is just unbelievable! Thanks Lex
I really loved this. Such a brilliant man, who is able to explain this complicated subject in such a delicate, simple and consumable way that a child could grasp the 'jist' of it. Absolutely excellent interview. Thanks so much to both of you.
Amazing conversation, the guy is so nice, smart and ez to understand! I finally learned something substantial about the quantum computing and not some voodoo claims.
Hey Lex, just wanted to say, you do an excellent job reseting terminology for the listener. It really does make complex concepts accessible for a larger audience. Thanks for the awesome content!!
What a wonderful human is Dr. Scott Aaronson. A very smart person who explains deeply complex things in a way I can actually understand. Loved his answer on the final question of what makes life most meaningful to him. (Pssst... I'm a Texas Aggie graduate.) I do wish Lex had asked him if there is any promising research and development being done on classical-quantum computing systems and if there is a mathematical or practical limit to the number of logical cubits that can be applied to Q-computing.
This was a phenomenal interview! I learned a lot at a fundamental level. It seems that we're in 'the vacuum tube era' (ie huge learning curve) of quantum computing. These kinds of interviews are great.
I closed the fullscreen view a couple times while watching this episode only to notice I couldn't press the like button because I already had. Great stuff!
YES! Scott answered my question at almost the very end: can you get the same results from a classical computer, by thinking about the problem as you would solve it with a quantum computer, and then applying the resulting approach to a classical computer implementation? And it seems that in some cases, the answer is yes. Really great, Lex, that you got this guy in your studio. He has come closer than anybody else to offering an explanation of quantum computing that MAY allow me to understand what it is. And completely apart from that, he is one of the most brilliant minds I've ever seen in action.
Lex. Dont apologize for your questions. This is why we love your interviews!!! Where else do we get to hear the smartest people in earth get to answer these questions... Nowhere! We dont want over technical stuff... at least I dont! We wouldn't understand it anyways. Keep up the good work.
I think your interviewing style and the questions you ask are brilliant and make the discussion all the more interesting when they could easily turn dry and incomprehensible. Great job, you're quite thoughtful and I do appreciate it.
Love the podcast, great guest and discussion! Selfishly, the only change I would want is for there to be a new podcast every day. Your interviews with guests like these are so captivating and can't wait to see the next one! Is the Andrew Ng episode dropping soon? Thanks Lex!
I have been following your pod casts for a few months now, i don’t understand everything that is discussed and this is very frustrating, however I have learnt a huge amount about subjects that a very interesting to me, it inspires me that there are some seriously intelligent people in this world that can help mankind push forward.
17:06 I LOVE this question. So fascinating, and enlightening too, with respect to the tired debates surrounding free will. Dennett has given it some airtime, but other philosophers seem reluctant to discuss it. (As you might guess, my answer is something close to 'Not very well'.)
Next guest request: Karoly Zsolnai-feher of "Two Minute Papers". PLEAAAASE GET THIS GUY ON!!
5 лет назад
Wow I could listening both of you talking for a day. Such interesting topic and Scott broke down incredible complex subjects in such concise and understandable way. I guess that's why he's a world class researcher! Lex, please do a follow-up with computational complexity!!!
Dostoyevsky’s ‘Idiot’ wasn’t simply “dumb” exactly... he was benevolent, genuine, innocent, and therefore a little naive. By placing him the context of modern (contemporary) society, I think Dostoyevsky was trying to show how our inherent cynicism forces us to interpret these traits as forms of ignorance. But yeah that’s one of my favorite books too :)
I just learned about the Turing Wittgenstein relation last night on Wikipedia. Now I want to read the lecture notes. Aaronson said somewhere that Ramanujan's work fanned the flames of his passion for mathematics as a youth. I wish more young people were exposed to Ramanujan's work. It's pedagogical magic that fosters a sense of wonder and curiosity for mathematics.
I never woulda predicted I’d be watching gaming videos mainly then 10yrs later be watching lex Friedman podcasts to Jordan Peterson lectures to lectures on physics and computing and the list goes on ... this is where RUclips has done a good thing for humanity
I founds Scott's blog many years ago, and read his book "Quantum Computing Since Democratus" a few years ago - definitely recommend it to anyone. I scanned through the playlist to see if you'd ever interviewed Scott and was surprised to find one so recently haha. Looking forward to listening to it!
The separation of philosophy and science is totally reasonable in the pursuit of predictive models, but imo, philosophy is much better equipped at tackling the high level interpretations of those models. At times, it may even offer ways of deducing plausible avenues for further scientific research.
Lex, please don’t start going to “basic” in your questions. There are enough channels out there to fill in that gap already. Although a lot of what your guests speak about is something over my head (I can fill in those blanks with other podcasts), I am more often discouraged that almost other podcasts/videos start, and often end, with the basics. Where is someone with a more advanced knowledge of a subject supposed to go if not to a podcast like yours… Seriously, if you keep it basic how is your personal knowledge going to grow. You will get bored doing these and look for something more challenging, as you should.
Anyway, love your show, and PLEASE keep making us all think by not dumbing down the content.
I think that it's useful for the majority of people here, and personally for my messy brain revisiting basic stuff is still helpful even if I knew it before.
Please keep the philosophical content. I find that your podcast is about exciting ideas and that requires collaboration across domains to understand anything holistically.
Thanks Lex. This is a great interview and certainly clears up where quantum computing really is in spite of all the sensationalist and maybe alarming headlines I have seen over the years. This interview answered many questions I had about QC. Any chance of an interview with Seth Lloyd about these matters?
Designing a quantum computer is closer to designing a musical instrument than a traditional computer. You have to consider phase interaction and damping in very^10 subtle ways. Basically a staggeringly complex analog synthesizer that absorbs all the discordant information and outputs whatever tones that makes it through the filters/ dampers/ etc.

views of this vid should be called observations
I've been wanting to hear from a Quantum Computer researcher for a time now, and Lex NEVER disappoints!
The best thing I've ever watched on quantum computing. Very sobering.
I love scott aaronson's view on how to explain quantum computing and the exciment he has about a slowly-paced growing field
I agree! I ripped like a dozen beers before watching and it totally killed my buzz. Very sobering.
D:
his book is also worth checking out if you are interested in his talk. Scott also has a blog that's quite popular.
As a person who cares about determinism vs non-determinism in the universe (being a designer of RNGs for cryptography, particularly now in post-quantum scenarios), getting Scott on is a real treat.
Scott’s way of thinking is just mindblowing. Hats off!

Thx. Ordered a copy.
great reviews in the book
Read it too. Love the examples and humor
Lex you are the man for keeping it simple and mixing it up for a more detailed understanding for any audience.
This guy is exceptionally gifted. Really good interview :)
Weird, I found it simplistic, you have low standards.
Finally someone explained quantum computing in an understandable way. Thanks.
I really loved this. Such a brilliant man, who is able to explain this complicated subject in such a delicate, simple and consumable way that a child could grasp the 'jist' of it. Absolutely excellent interview. Thanks so much to both of you.

Always a pleasure when a new podcast pops up on this channel! Incredibly easy approaches to immensely complex topics. Really appreciate your stuff.
Good lord! What an informative podcast. Scott explains stuff in a very simple yet comprehensive way. Thank you guys both.
Agree with the other comments, don't stop asking the "big questions". It is these questions which make these conversations unique and interesting.
This was a phenomenal interview! I learned a lot at a fundamental level. It seems that we're in 'the vacuum tube era' (ie huge learning curve) of quantum computing. These kinds of interviews are great.
So stimulating to hear such clarity on this subject. Superb as usual Lex but not taken for granted.
You are the best podcast going right now. Keep it up.
One of my favourites. I love the balance between philosophical and technical questions. I think you are great at managing it.
Amazing how you 2 guys talking about something so complex suddenly makes it, not so complex, thank you sir for your work and your time.
I closed the fullscreen view a couple times while watching this episode only to notice I couldn't press the like button because I already had. Great stuff!
Scott is your best guest yet!
Lex, you're getting really good quality interviews in place. Cheers!
Scott Aaronson is such a delight. Plenty to enjoy no matter how much background you have. :)

Oh: so (and of course I already know the answer), has this approach been taken on Shor's algorithm?
Lex. Dont apologize for your questions. This is why we love your interviews!!!
Where else do we get to hear the smartest people in earth get to answer these questions... Nowhere!
We dont want over technical stuff... at least I dont! We wouldn't understand it anyways.
Keep up the good work.
This guy is awesome. A real scientist. #1 trying to discover new things about the world and share them. #2 friends and family.
This was great. Lex, I'm a designer. Can you bring a guest who uses AI in art and design?
Joel Simon!!
Yes!
I think your interviewing style and the questions you ask are brilliant and make the discussion all the more interesting when they could easily turn dry and incomprehensible. Great job, you're quite thoughtful and I do appreciate it.
This was one of the most enlightening videos I have ever witnessed. Many thanks Lex!
Props to the guy at 9:43 for not interrupting the conversation :p
Nice 'Nope' step.
This is the first of your interview webcasts that I have come across; it's brilliant stuff and I'll surely be back for many more. Thank you.

The voice of Lex is hypnotic. Keeps me plugged in
"I have written in this envelope what you are going to say next." LEGENDARY.
Such a deep realisation on how to prove free will in simple terms
"no sh*t!" written in this envelope..

never have I seen such an optimal thumbnail
Nice job asking questions that'll reveal the underlying and connective properties of the answer to the bigger topic as a whole!
Taking his Quantum Computing class next semester, stoked!
Beautiful intro. Much of the subjects go over my head but I enjoy the conversations and applaud your method.
Keep up the great questions Lex, your podcasts are training my neurons in something new while I'm working.

I am getting smarter just to listen to your podcast, EXCELLENT AND AMAZING JOB Lex!!!
I like the philosophical questions. I think it's the most interesting parts of math and physics
Nailed it Lex! I love the talk on quantum machine learning. And quantum cryptography.
I'm sure I'm in for a treat, thanks for the great podcast Lex!
The separation of philosophy and science is totally reasonable in the pursuit of predictive models, but imo, philosophy is much better equipped at tackling the high level interpretations of those models. At times, it may even offer ways of deducing plausible avenues for further scientific research.
