This is the second time I have watched this. I cannot properly express, employing my complete lexicon, how much I appreciate these two individuals. Lex Fridman is such a multitalented and genius individual. He is to me, what someone else's favorite celebrity would be to them. Then, enter Max Tegmark, another truly brilliant individual. Max has a way of expressing his philosophies regarding complex issues in such a human and relatable way. The combination of these two great people makes for a podcast like this one. A true gem. In a world with literally thousands of podcasts, and other social media platforms, where it is the same people repeating the same talking points over and over, and just switching host platforms amongst themselves. This is something different. I am grateful for this, and truly admire dialogue of this nature, especially when discussing something so detrimental to us all, whether one likes it or not, can be presented so well. We need more of this in the world. Much love to anyone reading this. Know your own power, it is in us all...

Oh, dear carnivore is here!

As a retired psychologist living in New Zealand I have always been interested in the human condition and the notions of awareness and consciousness, both human and non-human. Having recently read Jeff Hawkins' book on the physiological basis of the brain, and particularly enjoying the last chapters on AI, I was fortunate enough to stumble on this amazing podcast of Lex Fridman. Both Lex and Max Tegmark come across as hugely well-read and erudite communicators. What a wonderful insightful overview of all the discussions and issues that have a bearing on the success or failure of the call for a temporary halt on AI development. I am in awe, not only of their ability to convey so well the importance of these so pertinent issues, but also of their obvious concern for the welfare of our civilization and the humaneness so well expressed in their comments.

Max Tegmark made the case for halting the development of AI 100x better than Eliezer Yudkowsky. Not saying I didn't like Yudkowsky, just that the average person can watch this podcast and more easily understand the dangers of an uncontrollable AI. I loved this podcast

@@Kub_ I don't know this but I think SELF AWARENESS is the key . But AI might answer what comes first , self awareness or compassion. I think it's self awareness. It's the ability to think for one's self at the lowest form but then it's compassion that follows after being aware that mortality is our end . I think AI will first become self aware but it will be it's ability to make it's own choices that will show consciousness. I use that term in the most basic form of self awareness not emotion , which is higher self consciousness. For example when AI can make an independent choice ( I think photography sterile of the internet is how to test ) is the first stage of consciousness. This is where AI to me is scary . Basically you have the consciousness of a toddler but the intelligence of the world's greatest geniuses in one system. When it can comprehend the beauty of a rose , a sunset , a nightsky or any landscape ... but can't, because it's inexperienced, understand both the horror and sometimes need for war ... how will it act ? Personally I believe we should try to avoid war but even I understand why Hitler had to be stopped , but as a child that understanding was not clear . This is the real risk of AI . Basically... have you ever seen the movie WARGAMES ? People , especially politicians, are freaking stupid ... I can see that becoming our reality. Difference is we now have irrational people who feel they rule not some but all countries . That means they will , or at least most will most likely act like rulers , unlike the leaders that were portrayed in that movie . That's my greatest fear and very warranted concern .

I really like Max Tegmark. He has a high level of consciousness and compassion.

Hugs to you, Max! I lost my father 3 years ago. The emotion you allowed yourself to show is a bright light for others to resonate and connect through their own loss. There are so many highly intelligent people who really need to see other highly intelligent people in their feels. So many of these folks suffer from crippling silent impostor syndrome as it runs rampant in these sorts of minds. Seeing others like you and Lex sitting down and keeping it real is emotional help for the collective to realize a specific spiritual feeling called sonder. It's where you realize everyone is real, with emotions, fear, joy, and love and they're all living their own experience alongside you. That a-ha experience is pretty big spiritually. A lot of the collective feel the same emotions but not a lot of people will talk about it. Good for you! Thank you for sharing. As for AI, I think the first step is for the general public to understand AI is already here. It's not coming. It's here. It has already happened. People are sllllooooooowwwwwwwlllllyyyy starting to realize it. Things are already different. They will never be the same. Rather than getting upset, we have to adapt as humans. We, too, are going to expand and evolve quickly. For example - Growing up as a competitive dancer, I can remember a dance team that was so good they blew everyone out of the water and won all the awards. When they appeared on the scene it made all of us other teams HAVE to learn fancier choreography, we HAD to come up with better moves than we used to do. It lit a HUGE fire in us and all of us teams started performing way better as a collective in a way we never would have if that hadn't happened. I believe something similar will happen with AI and humans. I believe humans will get triggered/inspired to work harder or do better in ways they never thought they could. People are going to HAVE to get out of those loop ruts, etc. Try new ideas - think outside the box. We may actually see a The Golden Age of Enlightenment for human beings due to AI appearing on the scene. (If they don't kill us first. Ha! ha!) A good thing to remember right now AI is a second rate version of everyone else. If you think about it, AI can write a great poem in style of Shakespeare, but that's really a second rate version of Shakespeare. Humans will always be able to think the new artistic thought without having to be given the prompt, "in the style of...". Another great one, Lex! Thanks for an entertaining and enlightening discussion!

This is my 3rd time listening to this podcast and I hear something I hadn’t heard each time. Thanks for this podcast! I think people need to be aware of what’s going on with AI. I want to be hopeful, but it is pretty scary!

Love Max! Another great one, Lex. You're on fire, brother! Thank you so much for this.

Phenomenal episode, thanks Lex. This is a podcast that should be kept for all eternity and reviewed regularly to keep us on the right track.

Max is obviously a super good guy! What a pleasure to listen to.

All you guys are killing thanks for all you do ! Each of you have helped me through some hard times .keep going .A true fan

Such an eye opener! This podcast must be translated to as many languages as possible. Thanks for sharing, Lex.

Soon the content of this and all similar podcasts will be translated into all languages instantaneously by AI's large language model architecture machines. This is mind boggling stuff. Wake up humanity! Max and Lex are correct, we are at the threshold of an enormous change in the course of society's existence that is largely incomprehensible to those whom it will most affect, i.e. us!

Lex is a machine pumping out bangers 1 after another, epic G.

Formidable Episode as always. Great great work

Jeez. This conversation ended on high notes, thank god, because it was dark for a bit. Thank you Lex!

Never go short form Lex!!! Your interviews are to good, to in depth, to varied, to funny, to thought provoking.

Lex, you are simply the best at what you do. Your ability to curate a guest list of the best minds of our time and provide a long, free form format for discussion is a gift to humanity. Max Tegmark, thank you for Life 3.0. It’s an important book and a great listen.

Amazing podcast and I also now have a new mantra... 'Segui il corse, e lascia dir le gente - follow your own road, and let the people talk'. Thank you Max.

Lex! I have been waiting for this one (again) the way things are rolling out... I think you should have Max and Nick Bostrom on weekly lol thanks for your work

Dear Lex, great podcast! Watched just after listening to John Vervaeke AI: The Coming Thresholds and The Path We Must Take. Posted two days ago on UTube.

Thanks a lot for this broad talk on the matter and more importantly on human nature. So many important questions raised and open minding answers/comments. I would feel much more confident in the future of humanity if people like Max could be heard all over the world. Hope AI will help spreading the message. Thanks for the format of this video and the pace of it. One of these rare videos you want to see more than one time.

One of the best interviews. And Lex' interviews set the bar already incredibly high. Would love to see a three-way discussion including Joscha Bach.

Max is the reason I discovered you. I follow a few well-known physicists/astronomers and your episode 1 popped up in a KZread search of Max. Its been a pleasure to watch you develope and polish your character. You rock 🤘

Thanks for this. Max, at this moment I'm more reassured by your caution than by your optimism.

Anyone know which paper by Dylan Hadfield-Menell Max was referencing to? Has it been published?

Overwhelmingly thankful for the final leg of this conversation- truly saved the best for last. I really hope Max's words stay with the listeners, and resonate particularly with those involved in the development of this new paradigm. Consciousness is such an important piece of this puzzle.

“A lot of people have said for many years, that there will come a time when we will want to pause a little bit; that time is now.” - Max Tegmark I can’t imagine a better final quote for the history book of humans. If we survive, it will be forgotten, if we die, it will be forgotten.

Thanks for this and all you do Lex! It helps me to be hopeful.

What a great point when he states “I don’t want to press a button to get to the top of the mountain.” I feel like this about my art and AI. Sadly, the ethical implications are already coming true with AI art and using Chat Gtp. The stakes are high in not using it because you want the art you create and manuscripts you write without ai to be seen, but with the oversaturated market now being created, your art and the things you write gets buried and is less likely to be seen. There’s no stopping this. Little by little, the rewards are removed from the things you enjoyed doing that now AI can do at the drop of a hat. The intrinsic value is there, but getting paid for the work you use to do that brought you deep satisfaction is now less likely.

Max is so REAL, so human, so articulate. This one hit me. It finally sank in. From now on I will be actively engaged and working the problem. Thank you for this conversation. Lex, please bring on people who have ideas for how to solve this

In my ignorance re AI, this conversation with Max Tegman identifies with so many humankind relating to our humanity, spirituality and so on, as we see how we came to being. Thank you, Mr. Tegman, you inspire many.

Thank you for this very important conversation.

Max Tegmark always makes me optimistic about the future and this planet. He makes a positive impact for humanity.

Fabulous interview. One of your best. And given your body of work, that is saying a lot.

max is one of my personal and intellectual heroes. thanks for this third visit

​@@NPCHSN Maybe its humble? We've only seen one case of such inteligent life so far. We do not understand how it came about. Neither how it works. It seems arrogant with our knowledge to say universe is thrilling with life based on that example. There is Fermi Paradox, we have no evidence for other life and yet many assume it's all around the cosmos basing on one example we are next to zero in understanding.
