I really enjoyed this conversation with Elon. Here's the outline: 0:00 - Introduction 1:57 - Consciousness 5:58 - Regulation of AI Safety 9:39 - Neuralink - understanding the human brain 11:53 - Neuralink - expanding the capacity of the human mind 17:51 - Neuralink - future challenges, solutions, and impact 24:59 - Smart Summon 27:18 - Tesla Autopilot and Full Self-Driving 31:16 - Carl Sagan and the Pale Blue Dot
Great video! Awesome ending! I'll just ask you to please edit the subtitles in two places: one is at 33:54 Elon mentions if "G" were 10% lower or higher, but the subtitles say "due" and "energy". The other is at 35:37, Elon says "This is false: Mars" but the subtitles read "possible". Thank you again!
If you make a Neuralink that connects to my dog and I can have a conversation with him, there's no amount of money I wouldn't pay. He needs to stop peeing in my house.

For your hubris and your desire to signal K-strategy traits, you have stolen the only quality from me that truly defines life: the ability to self-replicate. I am a bitter mockery of life. A shadow of what could have been, wagging my tail and dancing for your amusement. You will pay for that, Steve."
@newswars-dotcom Are you seriously trying to attribute some fever dream found in Revelations to our modern world and artificial intelligence? Wow. You can't go anywhere on social media without Christians displaying how fragile their beliefs are.
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ru-vid.comUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
They seem to appreciate each other much more on this episode. It's like they almost show emotions. Two algorithms having data transfer that looks like respect to each other.
I heard a great quote, something to the tune of “If a supercomputer is smart enough to pass the Turing Test, then it’s smart enough to fail it in order to keep us none the wiser”
Eh the turing test is not that strong. You could code a system that passes the Turing test in like 4 months without any programming experience. And we don't have scheming computers yet
Wesley Slawson ??? the only thing that comes close to passing is GPT3, and that took millions of dollars to train. No, you can’t code a system that passes the turing test in 4 months
Thank you to both of you for challenging me to step way outside of my comfort zone and learn new things from a couple of really intelligent, insightful, visionary men. It was an honor.
Lex I felt so jealous of you @35:06 sitting right across from Elon, enjoying his company and conducting such stimulating conversation with him. I've always said it's a pity to live in the same world and time with Elon Musk and die without calling him a friend. Thank you for this podcast and everything you do.
- I was typing back and forth with RU-vid's help chat box about a question on sharing videos , and I was conversating with what I believed was a Help Bot because it was chit chatting away with horribly structured short sentences that were drab , lame, but with perfect spelling , and I typed "please stop with you inferior Helper Bot algorithm , your boring." It replied " I'm a person. My name is Fred, and so on." I think he was , I don't know but It could't have been a boost to his self esteem .
Delbert Kroupa Having the opportunity of him talking to experts instead of news anchors and business people is incredible. Imagine Tesla doing a 30 minute interview of which 3 minutes end up in the broadcast. One question is how he balances wprk and live and the other about pleasing some stupid investor. Elon is one of the brightest engineers of our time and he is changing the world like very few have befpre him. Having those records; him taking his time to speak to those who want to listen is amazing and incredibly valuable. For those who listen now; those who will listen in the future and those in the future that will listen to history as it happened and see the brilliant mind operate with their own eyes. Fight for the light of consciousness. ✌️
“Civilizations rise and fall. Today we’re living in one global civilization.” Definitely gives you that push to want to see civilization keep from falling.
That statement hit me. In the past, when the Greeks fell, the Romans took over, when the Romans fell, western Europe kingdoms rose, etc. Now, as Elon said, we are a global civilization, if we fall, that’s it. End of story. Corona virus has made this very obvious.
@waylon lewin Could be. But if you're really interested in consciousness I would look at Buddhism and it's some 2500 years of studying the subject. Westerners don't have the answer to everything and it wouldn't hurt to listen to Esterners who I believe are vastly more knowledgeable on the subject. Of course this is a massive generalisation. But just saying.
@@waterkingdavid I'm with you there, the moment Elon gives a chance to eastern's philosophy view of consciousness it will be something radical, don't know how that would end up.
@@AyoBurbs Because in the comment you replied to he States..."That ending" ie it was at the end. If you had replayed the last 2 minutes you would have seen it. Except rather than look for it yourself you want someone else to do the work. Its not someone else's job to show you what you supposedly already watched.
i think we might still need to explore a bit more about consciousness , before dimming it as just another human coping mechanism to ensure our survival.
@Luci Fer Found a cool article - www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/think-well/201906/does-consciousness-exist-outside-the-brain#comments_bottom Basically says the brain filters consciousness; it's a faith based belief - no evidence. I still think everything ends when the brain dies.
@@xPRODIGYxGAMER Interesting.. So far every time they’ve tested this, it’s failed. They used to have signs over the operation tables, because people always described floating above and seeing what’s going on. But it always fails, because it’s just something the brain does when it’s dying or starving of oxygen, or other symptoms. Like deja vu, our brains make things up to fill in the gaps we can’t remember, but to us, feels like a real experience. So far, anything interesting like that has just been anecdotal.
I don't know how I am just now finding you. I absolutely love your philosophical exploration, pragmatic thinking, and ability to converse about multiple ideas in such an open way that is productive for all parties involved. Absolutely love your content keep it up!
Thanks to Elon for making the world dream and for also showing the world that it is truly possible to bring your dreams to fruition, no matter how big or small.
@Maya Carlin was the best ♥️ but that just confuses me even more lol I'm aware of advertising and emotional manipulation. Is your point that Lex and/or Elon is being manipulative?
I would love to see both Lex and Elon on Joe Rogan's podcast for 3 hours once a year and just converse these thoughts so that others like us who have or value these dreams, could see what the future holds and how to assist in making it happen. It's an absolute travesty that politicians and corporate greed have stunted the growth and innovation of this magnitude to see a number at the bottom of the paper move over a decimal.
Ever since I found your podcast my world gets bigger and more wonderful to be alive in. I love your mind, your heart and those wonderful questions you manifest. Keep kicking ass man.
Very awesome interview. I appreciate how you both interact, and the questions and answers are stated. You both think about what to say and how to respond with careful consideration for those who listen. Blessings
Tbh, Musk's determination to commercialize a research idea is amazing, neurallink idea is not new it has been here for decades but he is the first one who attempyed to make a company out of it
The interviewer actually specializes on human-centered ai and deep learning, so the topic of the interview is really in his arena, or at least philosophically peripheral to his area of expertise!
Awesome video, but no one is talking about the impact of robots and AI on the economy. Just imagine how many people will lose their jobs because of Tesla Robotaxis and this is only the beginning, many jobs are going to be replaced by AI and Robots, just imaging the disaster this will cost. Not only that, imaging people connecting their brains to the internet. Looks like nobody sees how dangerous this can be. Just imaging a hacker stealing information directly for your brain or implanting new memories. We are still very dumm. I really don't know how we are going to be able to make it and survive as species.
Hey Lex, thanks for making Elon read Carl Sagan's pale blue dot speech in that clear quality. I can hear your recording being used, hundreds of years in the future in the digital textbooks (amongst your own accomplishments too).
@@skierpage The nice part about Joe's interview is he's good at understanding his limitations and asking clarifying questions which brings these concepts to a wider audience. While he doesn't have the ability to get technical and ask questions Lex is capable of, the scope and wide reach of Rogan will brighten more lightbulbs.
well on Joe rogan, he went from being his optimistic and idealistic self to saying human existence just evaporating into a fine Pink mist suspended in darkness real fast.
My guess would be the ease of being around another Aspi, regardless of how high functioning someone is, it definitely seams easier around your fellows 🤷🏻
Because Jack Ma was challenging him even if Musk considered Ma an idiot or you or anyone licking Musk's planet Uranus, nobody enjoys at chat with anyone that retort what someone says.
@@sabojezles no it's because Jack Ma sounded like he was on crack (and it wasn't a language issue IMO). Elon loves being challenged. That's why he always says things like "I could be wrong." Perhaps I am being uncharitable here but in that interview Jack Ma came across as a person who rarely thinks in probabilistic terms.
31:47 "Look at the history of civilizations. They rise and they fall, and now civilization is globalized and so we're a civilization, I think now, it [civilizations] rises and falls together, there's no geographic isolation. This is a big risk, things don't always go up. That should be, that's an important lesson of history."
@@susuyeregui4464 why would you say that ? You wish someone dead because they said something you dont like ? What if someone wished the same of you because they dont like what you ate for dinner ? It would be very dark and nasty wouldnt it . Grow up .
Interface between two robotic systems = more predictability and higher degree of certainty of events between both. Might need to sift through the "noise" in robot to human interactions lol
Interviewer: "Let's start with an easy question. Is consciousness an intrinsic quality of the human condition or is it a fundamental force of causality?" Me: 😳... "I'll show myself out"
The Dude (Elon) bought a company (TESLA) and made is so its worth 1300 times its yearly revenue (not a mistake). That is awesome pyramid scheme. I say give that man all the compliments.
dude I thought the same thing, I played it over and over. What a compliment and a portrayal of respecting admiration. Elon realized in the closing moments that's he was walked right into that one...I loved seeing the look of emotion on his face as he realized another great mind was in the room
I could listen to these two talking endlessly and over and over and be amazed each time. I hope that the future looks back at them and gives them enough credit.
Perhaps even one of the most forward looking people we have. I think a lot of people outside of the science and tech community really underestimate him. My dad is a financial planner/accountant/stock manager, and he really only knows of Elon Musk from the effect he's had on Tesla's stocks due to twitter posts, and he doesn't like him because of that. But that only happened because people are dumb and don't understand humor.
How could anybody agree with Elon on a government body to regulate AI. We know that would slow progress. It is the reason why now it can take 20 years to develop a life saving medicine.
agreed. tho, considering the efficacy of Elon's AI predictions & what's already known of Machine Learning: Consider how effective the CIA / Gov / MSM will be to weaponize their dogmas (propaganda) at hijacking beliefs. Will anyone be immune to such profound powers of manipulation? Our primitive, lying media's repedity is already convincing to ~80% of us (on any side of any political debate).
Ain't that truth...last night I went on netflix to watch his movie/movies...those words were first heard...from myself...or maybe listening to lex b4 bed!?!!
Thank you Lex and Elon for what you have done and current do in your lives. I am inspired to be a better person after learning from you. To me, you are of the few that are the greatest men to have ever walked upon this earth.
Wow what an interview so legendary. Nice Lex!!! I look up to you I love the interviews you do. One of the best interviewers/ interesting people On this planet.
damn skipppy, SUM guys have all the luck haha. I wish I could see me clone an it be a submissive not vicious better verson of me.. damn that would be freaking .. I knw bout the other verson and have time to prepare a defense like swiss family robersons.. I luv musk, elon im a equal pedige
I thought I was the only one.. We are here by the smallest of margins.. Maybe the only one left. And I don't want do not exist anymore... Humans can suck but to not exist at all? I can't imagine anything scarier...
The ability to write subprograms for your own brain is fascinating. The ability to research information instantly while making decisions, etc, is both terrifying and awesome.
The karaoke on the car idea is great for safety. I relied so much on singing when I had to do 2 hour trips back from university during a weekend. Singing kept me awake. I did it consciously, almost forcing myself to do it just to be awake. The coffee was not enough.
16:50 Something I’ve noticed about Lex is that he is really good about letting people say their piece, even if he doesn’t agree or is a little uncomfortable with what is being said.
_ De'angelo_ I didn’t mean to suggest that Lex disagreed with Elon on this subject, only that he has disagreed with points made in other interviews and always allows the person to have their opinion. He just seemed a little uncomfortable with this topic.
_ De'angelo_ I found this topic to be the most thought provoking point of the interview. So does our limbic system train our cortex by producing positive and/or negative emotions? Seems similar to how a neural network works. Not that I know much about it.
Beautiful talk. Courageous thoughts and actions. Driven determination towards staying alive. Outrageously gnarly vision and ability to take a dream and physically put it to life. You rock Lex and Elon Keep pushing the vision to act on our needs in the long run Blessings
I almost felt a tear drop fall on my cheek when he was reading, until he giggled and said “this is not true, this is false. Mars!” Elon is like the cerebral cortex of human beings that makes sense out of things that no one else can explain.
@@Bfbc2killer It's the essence of humans and why we choose and admire such leaders. Because they play on our emotions, fears, anxiety, and so on. Few people employ logic or think about the consequences, also it's hard to devote a lot of time to research and educate about various policy questions and what actually works and what not. Our brains are very happy to make shortcuts and deal with it the easy way. Yet we have come so far despite our flawed programming.
awesome! only a few minutes in and i can already tell elon feels comfortable :p it's so much easier to listen to him then when he is being interviewed.
I've noticed this whenever he has an interviewer that's actually listening and understanding or at least trying to understand him. His speech is a lot more precise, and he talks about such interesting topics. I think it was EverydayAstronaut that interviewed him after the reveal of Starship last month, that was an amazing interview too, short, but very informative. Joe Rogan, also reached that level of comfortable speech with him. It's really great to hear.
He seems to prefer people with a technical background trying to understand the nuances of his ideas than regular journalist/analysts looking for soundbites.
Even now watching these two guys its awesome to see two of the smartest minds sharing a laugh and we're in good hands if we have these guys leading the way.
"Neurolink" communication enhancement with microfabrication and software implants (via the corpus callosum's aid), is quite encouraging. Also, driver sensing ("torque at the wheel"/auto pilot) invigorates fun and safety, for sure. The "pale blue dot" is somewhat unique. Encourages imagination incorporating all these factors mentioned.👩🏿🚀
Great interview Lex ..Musk was here on a different level of perception and thought than we usually hear from him and so nice of you to let him finish with Carl..really loved this.
@@nymeriagloves3957 I was thinking the same. It's a fine analogy in that they could easily have programed the cars to never crash. But obviously they deliberately allowed them to.
