Ilya Sutskever: Deep Learning | Lex Fridman Podcast #94
Ғылым және технология
Ilya Sutskever is the co-founder of OpenAI, is one of the most cited computer scientist in history with over 165,000 citations, and to me, is one of the most brilliant and insightful minds ever in the field of deep learning. There are very few people in this world who I would rather talk to and brainstorm with about deep learning, intelligence, and life than Ilya, on and off the mic.

It's like the Feynman quote goes, "Elementary means that very little is required to know ahead of time in order to understand it, except to have an infinite amount of intelligence."
As a veteran AI graduate from the late 90s, who later chose to switch paths, watching this interview was one of the most enlightening experiences I have ever had on discussions related to the subject. Very rare to come across an interviewer who is extremely intelligent, exploring also a most intelligent interviewee's mind with such a thorough set of brilliant and cunning questions that the latter honestly answers without avoiding, and to a degree that provides an almost complete satisfaction for the viewer, leading to a formidable conclusion. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I find it odd why someone would leave AI to begin with - I studied computer science for 3 years and left because the curriculum was boring and I was more interested in quantum encryption (which also wasn't taught, I just ran into it by accident.) AI was never mentioned and I didn't even know what it was until very many years later despite doing a research project with AI (I didn't know the software I was using was AI, I just found it handy.) I actually returned to the field precisely because this time all the cool shit is included in the curriculum.
Please bring Ilya back on the podcast! There has been so many advances and unforeseen things happening, and I wish to hear what this brilliant man has to say about the state of AI/AGI today and in near future.
Definetily: Ilya II strikes back please Lex. I know maybe is not that easy to get... So, when you can... but you two talking now would be monstrous
Lex: "humans continue to impress me" Ilya: "Is that true?" (Cue apocalyptic robot movie intro music)

He dunked on 99.99% of humanity with one simple phrase. If that's Sutskever's view, I am not very optimistic about what a general AI would think about us.

Love the way Ilya responds every answer in such a simple and first principe way .
What amazes me is how Ilya's face remains emotionless and serious any time Lex jokes about things like mortality, conscious AI, etc. He conveys that solving these things is not so much of a joke at this point, but a possibility in the observable future.

I love Lex because he captured this interview 3 years before generative AI became a household world and already knew who was behind it. and Of course Ilya and insightful genius.

I have really enjoyed the diversity of guests on this podcast but I can't say I haven't missed deep learning :). Been waiting for this for ages; ever since I saw Ilya's lecture on this channel, in fact.
The quality of interaction in this interview was exceptional. Good questions that are challenging and pique the interest of the interviewee. And Ilya had exceptional answers as well.
Lex, please have Ilya back now!
Want to see Ilya again on this platform
one of the most brilliant interviews I have ever watched! Thanks for uploading.
Bring back Ilya!

Great interview, thanks Lex for the amazing questions and Ilya for answering them!!
Lex, we need Ilya back on more than ever...
I learned so much from this conversation, thanks Lex!
It's so rewarding to see you two talking .
Thank you Lex, it was an amazing podcast. It is rare to see that level of understanding of the subject in the host, so that questions aren't meaningless or general. I feel I have learned a lot from this podcast.
Great interview. Ilya is a 5 star guest. I love his focused response to the questions, he is really dialed in on the issues, and super quick with answers. What Ilya said: When the algorithm can determine the most likely truth. That will be a huge moment in moving forward IMHO.
Thanks Lex for facilitating & amazing set of questions & Ilya Sutskever for the your talk. Conceivably, I should go through this video once everyday next 3-4 days to get a satisfactory level that I absorb most....
An outstanding interview - thankyou to both interviewer and interviewee. The questions were as thoughtful as their answers. Super rich.
Its amazing to hear them about unification 2 years ago. How text and image generation models maybe related. Love it. It will be awesome to have him back and reflect.
Lex,can you please make another conversation with Ilya ? It is needed 😫😫
It would be awesome to have a new podcast with Ilya Sutskever
I like to click like on things that I feel compassion for. That doesn’t always make me laugh, or give me an insight that I sort of separate from the rest. It gives me experience of something that makes sense for me is there. We always go for more, we do not have some final goal we are thrived to reach, the only constant thing is change itself. We are about the change, not the goal.
This is wonderful!
40:30 Lex didn't realize Ilya had just explained double descent to him. I like how Ilya explains it again in simpler terms.

What an enlightening conversation with Ilya! His perspective on decision-making, regret, and pride is truly thought-provoking. It's interesting to hear that despite his numerous academic accomplishments and breakthroughs in computer vision and language, he believes that happiness largely comes from our perspective on things. This is a powerful reminder that our outlook can greatly influence our sense of satisfaction and joy. I also appreciate his humility in acknowledging the uncertainty of these complex topics. The closing quote from Alan Turing about machine learning is a fascinating concept to ponder. Looking forward to the next podcast!
Lex, please invite Ilya again to the podcast!
Beautiful lecture Lex! Yours is my new favorite podcast.
Really interesting to listen to this after GPT4 is out
Time to Interview Ilya again!
"that's a good question" Probably the most repeated thing said to Lex by most guests. Really shows the quality of the show! Thank you.
I was stunned when you asked "what would you ask an AGI?" and Ilya says, "The first time?" I wish the camera would have been on his face when he said that. "The first time?" There is so much in his voice, behind those words.
A fantastic interview especially Ilyah's definition of his happiness (in life).
guess it is time for round 2
Let’s bring him again to the podcast.
I am grateful for your efforts! Thanks Lex !
1:05:45 “there might be some unification towards a kind of multi-task transformers that could take on both language and vision tasks that would be an interesting unification” it is surreal to be living in the future where this exists… what a time to be alive! 😄
wow, this has been the most _truly_ inspiring podcasts i've seen!
When a genius in his field( computer science) talks with a super genius in his field... this is beautiful!
the question is not "what would you ask an AGI system" the question is "what can an AGI ask us to make us recognize it as being AGI?"
