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.

This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_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.
@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.
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
- I was typing back and forth with TH-cam'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 .
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.
“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.
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?
@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.
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. ✌️

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!

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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).
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
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.
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.
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."
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
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
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.
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...
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
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"
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.
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 🤷🏻
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
"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.👩🏿🚀
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!?!!
I love when Elon speaks perfectly frank private opinions without worries of losing control over his own creations in the minds of investors! Please never stop sharing you two beautiful beings!

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.
Lex is awesome interviewer. The questions are so smart 👍
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
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.
Couldn't agree more
Never before realized Elon's intense love for humanity and his remarkable desire to insure its continuance. Very satisfying to my limbic system :)
I love listening to these 2 visionaries. It's like poetry in motion. ❤
Lex thank you for these podcast. It is such the pleasure to listen to you and your guest. Brilliant.
he enjoyed this interview more than the interview he had with Jack Ma
Not hard to beat lolz
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.
@@JohnPritzlaff It doesn't matter, man, as soon as someone challenge you, is easy to say, "he was on crack", "he was stupid", so yes.
That Jack Ma guy seemed like all ego...very little substance.
You are very uniquely qualified for interviewing Elon. Please do it as often as possible.
Thank you!
This was beautiful guys. Thanks for sharing your insights, hopes, and dreams with us.
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).
"Have you seen Dumb and Dumber?" -Elon Musk
He really has downloaded all of human output into his memory.
every time we see Elon, we just click
prodby404 yepp lol
maybe some of you
@@segamegadrive3903 all 144 of you? that's piddly
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
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.
People need to listen to Elon Musk & get behind his pursuits. He's one of the most forward looking entrepreneurs we have.
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.
That’s why he endorsed Andrew Yang. They both can push humanity forward
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.
bighand69 safely develop life saving medicine. China isn’t going to abide so that makes it interesting

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."

Sounds very familiar right now

@@metapills We're all New Atlanteans 🤔
we’re fucked
Two extremely enlightened and intelligent humans in converse. I'm amazed by this profound conversation.
Definitely one of the better interviews with Musk I’ve seen.
Two robots without supervision, fantastic comment 🤣
If you could humor me... Oh crap we forgot to turn on human smile simulator the entire session, :)
I oscillated between cracking up over this and absolute intrigue throughout the video :)
Moist robots.
The last speech from Carl Sagan as read by Elon literally had my eyes tear up.
If you haven't already, watch Sagan's original Cosmos series. It was a revelation that shaped who I am today.
yes, until he goes, "This is not true. This is false. Mars." hahahaha I love Mr. Musk
Mine too... just like when I heard Sagan say it all those years ago.
You should hear the original speech by Sagan himself, when I heard it i cried for first time in 5 years
Mr Fridman thank you for broadcasting this.
ZANIMLJIVO URAĐENO,I LAICI MOGU DA RAZUMEJU.CESTITKE.👍
Elon Musk: "Have you seen dumb and dumber?" - Did not expect that reference
it was the first thing I thought when he said it
Hes an a. I
The definition of ironic
Fleur De Lys Clearly but does he have consciousness or is it simulation? Hard to say. What do you think?
That was a phenomenal compliment to Elon at the end. I love the way you prefaced it.
agreed, really classy
You can tell that Elon was moved by that
I think that's Elon's greatest contribution really, and all he really wants.
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
@lex fridman. Love this interview!
Damn. First time I watch one of your videos. That was an interesting piece of work. Well done
When Elon started quoting Sagan from memory you could see Lex tense up thinking about his planned reading at the end...
Which part was that
@@georgeac2995 At the end 5 mins or so .
he just has a resting tense face.
this is the most casually terrifying conversation i have ever heard
Don't worry. I work for the NSFW and we're on top of things. 😐
Ditto
True. We praise technology, but, where it’s leading us is truly terrifying!!
@@Sprawl1GuitarMan Thats what keeps it interesting doesnt it
I am wondering on which drags Ellon!?
That ending gave me chills.......... good job sir!!!
Who's here after watching part 3 first?
Really amazing podcast. Must watch for all people interested in tech n life
elon musk is the kind of guy who will send a robot of himself to an interview
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
im dislecia that why you need a scriptgist to under stand my dictaion
he would also know that, and double sned him after sending the robot so now we dont know
@@josephchristopher2427 what the fuck are you talking about??
Thomas Howard Clearly clarified saying he is dyslexic... So just be a decent human being and leave him be, eh? 👍
That last part with the reading of the great Carl Sagan’s book closing was powerful. Thank you. I think Elon really felt proud at that moment.
Carl Sagan was very eloquent. Very few scientists had the gift of poetry at the time.
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.
N both still r now in future...change is Herr n it's amazing...scarey but necessary n the whole world needs it/them!?!! Aug5/2022
Really enjoyed this podcast. It has such a meaningful content.
That ending made my cry. The depth to this makes me so emotional. Lex, what a great interviewer. Amazing conversation with two intelligent beings.
Damn girl you smokin
chill out
One of them was AI. Which one??
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...
Goose Gaming human life is so incredibly special. 😭
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
Elon that was a beautiful rendition of Carls words... Thank you for the reading and thank you Lex for requesting the reading.
probably the best interview of elon
You're here too?!
Elons neurons have mastered accelerated back hopping, I'm sure of it.
Have you seen the video
Elon Musk really pisses off Lex Fridman
It’s hilarious!
Every goddamn comment section mentions how "the video you're currently watching" is the best interview of Elon Musk ever
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"
Easy question my ass
it's the "in your opinion" bit that makes it an easy question ;)
The best part is Elon doesn’t see the comedy in it, he just answers it. 😆
In other words, is conciousness relevant to physics, or is it only relevant to psychology? What's more fundamental, feelings or reality?
@@deankim6687 an arch rationalist.
My being an introvert with ADHD, I find you both fascinating to listen to and you're able to keep my attention.
Thank you! 💚
The most important Elon Musk interview to date
Sam Altman would make an awesome guest too ... thanks for the great content lex cheers
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.
Elon seems much more relaxed in this environment vs Joe Rogan's podcast.
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 🤷🏻
Have you seen the video
Elon Musk really pisses off Lex Fridman
It’s hilarious! 😡 😂 😆
@@johnpaul3470 what video mate, you have the link?
@@jonjons4036 bro i been seeing this same random comment on different videos. Just seen it on Joe rogans new clip
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.
They basically did, If your brain stops working so does your conscience.
@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.
Maybe Aldous Huxley’s “Mind at Large” is too romantic but to me it’s like a song I can’t get out of my head.
@@xPRODIGYxGAMER That's pretty interesting I'd love to see more info on it all, so wild!
@@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.
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.
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.
Hijacking the input/output of our optic nerve to create visual overlays relaying information above and beyond that of visual stimulus
OMG 7 DAYS LATER...I started my company. I was in LA. WHOA. stoked to listen to this1!
Has anyone noticed, but when Elon talks to another robot, he doesn't stutter nor stumble over his words? When robot meets robot.
Bullshit
No lag between machine to machine communication
Because there is no pressure to speak quickly. Giving timing for people to think is the way people should have conversations.
@@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
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.
That is .. when he's being sensitively, knowledgeably and intelligently interviewed.
Stark contrast to Kara Swisher as an interviewer.
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.
@@geraldg350 I completely agree
Elon quoting about the blue dot at the end is one of most inspiring things I seen ☯️
What an amazing conversation between two incredible minds. I respect the thoughtfulness and sincerity in his questions.
You sure Lex is an incredible mind? 😂
Great thing about this interviewer is that he's super smart and accomplished but doesn't have the need to prove it every second.
Good observation. Took me a couple of episodes to warm up to him but now I watch every episode. He's very earnest and kind.
@@Texas.wildflower1 lol
Lol
Intelligent questions for a really intelligent man.
It's so nice that your newer interviews don't have commercials.
"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.👩🏿🚀
I love how Lex thinks with his heart. Elon thank you for your contribution to mankind.

Awesome, this was so good. Almost got a tear in my eye when he read Sagan's quote, and then the twist ending. Elon is a revolutionary.
To Lex, thank you for this thought provoking interview. To Elon, thank you for making the world dream !🙏
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 both, exceptional podcast
Best Interview to date LEX! Wow, this is one that I think will end up in history Doc.'s for ever. :) Glad to be a part of your community Lex, thanks
I love when Elon speaks perfectly frank private opinions without worries of losing control over his own creations in the minds of investors! Please never stop sharing you two beautiful beings!
Inspiring, once again thanks for this.
Saw you on Joe Rogan, thank you for your work
bonus points to Elon for the Dumb & Dumber reference!

And minus 1 point for thinking AI drives well in GTA lol
