The other is at 35:37, Elon says "This is false: Mars" but the subtitles read "possible". Thank you again!
@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.
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

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. ✌️
Perfect match???/ I think not. But Fridman has the staff behind him so he can ask the appropriate questions to present a stimulating and interesting interview.
- 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."

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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
“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.
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.
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.
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."
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...
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"
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
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

@@Daloshka Google probably has his fingerprint, facial structure and location pinned down good enough to know that it's him. Cameras are eyes. Or perhaps it's just random testing.
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.
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!
@@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.
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 🤷🏻
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.
@@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.
The last minutes had me in tears! It was so deep to hear Elon read Carl Sagan's view about Earth and at the end he smiled and said that this is not true (anymore), we have Mars. Because of him, we now have the tools and knowldege to expand beyond. Go Elon! Go Starship!
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.
@@rick15666 Musk is a phony and he didn't read Sagan's full quote : ""There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand." And Lex is proving that anybody can be silly, even with an IQ that hits the roof. There's also another quote from Sagan that Musk conveniently omitted, about the property of other celestial objects : “If there is life on Mars, I believe we should do nothing with Mars. Mars then belongs to the Martians, even if the Martians are only microbes … the preservation of that life must, I think, supersede any other possible use of Mars.” Humanity will be ready to settle somewhere else than Earth only when it will prove that it can take care of the Earth in its entirety. This is not tomorrow, nor in fifty years that we will see such thing.
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.
This man is WAAAAY too F'N smart to bet against. I love how he doesn't allow the small thinking of others to prevent him from creating a world that sometimes only he can see. He has allowed the child like mind in us all to continue to dream and verbalize our ideas about the future that doesn't make sense to many, then turn those into reality.
Beautifully stated - I also react to him like Moses on Mt Sinai - you know in him we've come as close if not closer than the Greeks, to mans highest ideal. A man again has found courage to dream of the very highest, in the very mode of Plato and Socrates. I'm religious so I don't take it lightly but he's a true high-priest. In him we get a glimpse of what life can also be besides 'nasty, brutish and short!'. He can have one of my kidneys any day!
I love how Elon couldn't revel in the moment after having read that beautiful poem by Carl Sagan before stating "This is not true". Musk, I believe you can!
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.
"If you damage your brain, you damage your consciousness" Simple, but it does make you think. "It should be that the really smart thing controls the dumb thing, but it's actually that the dumb thing controls the smart thing" Evolution. We've been on this earth only a very short time, relatively speaking, and most of that short time has been spent trying to survive. Only recently has our higher functioning brain really started to develop. I just want to add, also, that I really recommend the book "Children of Time" - The conversation between these two reminded me of this book. Fantastic read.
It really depends on what consciousness is. Thus far we have yet to really define it. It could be quite possible that the brain is just a physical receiver for what we think of as consciousness. You can damage a radio to the point it can't play the radio signal anymore, but you haven't fundamentally damaged the signal itself just by damaging the receiver. Our knowledge of consciousness is basically in its infancy given that science hasn't even properly defined consciousness nor created a test to detect it.
@@taragnor Musk is right that we really don't have any hard evidence that consciousness is anything but our brain, but I think we can logically infer something else if we start with the idea that matter is fundamentally unconscious. How do you bridge that gap from non-conscious matter to consciousness? The complexity of the brain is an amazing thing, but if you look from a purely materialistic pov we all should be just highly functional robots. All that information processing can do great things, but one thing non-conscious parts shouldn't be able to do is be conscious, no matter what the arrangement, complexity, or speed of processing.
@@samik83 : Yeah, there's no hard evidence either way of what consciousness is, because consciousness isn't even a fully defined term. Materialistic science pretty much just sweeps it under the rug as being unimportant or as being a sort illusion generated by complexity. I feel like the understanding of consciousness will probably come when when/if we are able to understand the nature of the origin of life from unlife. Thus far, what makes a thing "alive" is still a hotly debated topic among scientists, as we have no clear cut scientific test there either. And we don't have any real parallels to life in anything non-organic. Producing a machine that does what life does, that is, self-replicate and evolve, is an incredibly difficult task that even master engineers can't achieve. Yet we're to believe that essentially random processes produced a highly complex system that modern day human intelligence can't even deliberately design. Life itself is both staggeringly easy to create (tons of new life is created every minute), yet also incredibly difficult (we've never created life from unlife in a lab). From an engineering standpoint that's rather unprecedented and at least to me suggests that maybe life is more unique than many give it credit for. Granted that's far from hard evidence, but life to me feels like it's something fundamentally different. Artificial intelligence has interesting possibilities, but its evolution is totally different from how human intelligence works. For instance, it's an "easy" task to teach a primitive AI to play chess at a master level (something most human brains can't do), while it's very difficult to teach a primitive AI to control a body, process visual/sound and scent inputs and use that to hunt and find food, detect and avoid dangers, etc. something that even relatively simple brains like those found in rodents can do. It all suggests that AI will never really think like a person. That's not to say it won't be able to perform some amazing feats, but it's not intelligence as humans think of it.
I wouldn't say you damage your consciousness, I'd just say you've changed it. Like neuroplasticity, something else might pick up the slack or just update.

and now we have no horses, i heard they are working on meat. just like jobs are lost to automation animals are as well. lets just cover the forest in cement
I love the tone of the entire conversation. The build up in hope for the future, but with the grim reminder that things don't always continue to go up for civilisations. Some regress, some fall, some are destroyed. As an inter-connected global civilisation, the risk is even greater, as Elon says. And then rightfully gets you thinking, just how many civilised planets were there out there that have fallen?
@@henrybottomsworth You know how Elon argued that an AI that could fool you might as well be considered another human? If we've seen no other evidence for life coming from the vastness the universe, then in effect we are alone. If it's out there and all the factors are such that we will never know (such as the distances and how short-lived any intelligent civ might be, such that there' snot enough overlaps between them existing that they ever statistically have a chance to interact even if they gain the capability) then for all intents and purposes, they don't exist.
@@henrybottomsworth It's "for all intents and purposes", not, "for all intakes porpoises", lol. And yes, I suppose I'm being a little facetious/devil's advocate, because obviously no one knows ANYTHING for sure, least of all what's beyond our ability to image. However, it's actually more open-minded to consider we are alone than it is to go with the general idea that space is huge and therefore must statistically contain other life. I'm a molecular biologist by training, and I'm interested in astronomy. Think about the combination of the Drake equation, add more nuance from what we currently know about potentially habitable planets (i.e. Earth-likes are super rare) and then think about how many things had to happen just the right way for intelligent life to form here. Like Elon said, just 10 percent difference to any of a raft of factors, and we wouldn't be here. Wouldn't it be crazy if we were the only ones?
@Ron Burgundy Bacteria are bacteria. they aren't something else. We may not have found and described them all, but we know what constitutes the ones we have. You conjecture is a cool idea, but unlikely. I'd find it more likely to be infected by a new/alien bacteria that's just as "dumb" as any other, not one that somehow has intent and communication (past what we know about biofilms).

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!
well he teaches AI at MIT...

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.
This conversation passes my Turing test.
Not mine. He's still an alien robot to me, but as long as TSLA stock still makes me money I'm happy.
feels more like 2 ai chatting with each other. zero emotions in their voices
my grandma says FB is a cybog lol...
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.
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 :)
Great to see Elon interviewed by someone who is intelligent.
Unlike that talk with Jack Ma. :)))

skierpage Thought the JRE could have went much better. There were some points that were cringe.
revo1974 agreed... I felt like there were times where Joe came across as a bit of a dick towards Elon, in honesty 🤷🏻♂️
@@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.
Such seriousnes - serious passion - serious emotion - sincere depth - thanks for the talk guys
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
probably the best interview of elon

“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.
Unfortunately there are people controlling and trying to hold on to that control
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.

"Have you seen Dumb and Dumber?" -Elon Musk
He really has downloaded all of human output into his memory.
You are very uniquely qualified for interviewing Elon. Please do it as often as possible.
Thank you!
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.

I am wondering on which drags Ellon!?
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
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?

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.

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.

The last minutes had me in tears! It was so deep to hear Elon read Carl Sagan's view about Earth and at the end he smiled and said that this is not true (anymore), we have Mars. Because of him, we now have the tools and knowldege to expand beyond. Go Elon! Go Starship!
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.
Elons facial expressions in the last 5 mins give me hope
That's some deep shit though
Lex is awesome interviewer. The questions are so smart 👍
If Lex expected Elons reaction, then the end was really clever of him. :)
@@rick15666 Musk is a phony and he didn't read Sagan's full quote :
""There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand."
And Lex is proving that anybody can be silly, even with an IQ that hits the roof.
There's also another quote from Sagan that Musk conveniently omitted, about the property of other celestial objects :
“If there is life on Mars, I believe we should do nothing with Mars. Mars then belongs to the Martians, even if the Martians are only microbes … the preservation of that life must, I think, supersede any other possible use of Mars.”
Humanity will be ready to settle somewhere else than Earth only when it will prove that it can take care of the Earth in its entirety. This is not tomorrow, nor in fifty years that we will see such thing.

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
This man is WAAAAY too F'N smart to bet against. I love how he doesn't allow the small thinking of others to prevent him from creating a world that sometimes only he can see.
He has allowed the child like mind in us all to continue to dream and verbalize our ideas about the future that doesn't make sense to many, then turn those into reality.
He is one of the most amazing leaders in the history of the world if not the most.
Beautifully stated - I also react to him like Moses on Mt Sinai - you know in him we've come as close if not closer than the Greeks, to mans highest ideal. A man again has found courage to dream of the very highest, in the very mode of Plato and Socrates. I'm religious so I don't take it lightly but he's a true high-priest. In him we get a glimpse of what life can also be besides 'nasty, brutish and short!'. He can have one of my kidneys any day!

"If you damage your brain, you damage your consciousness" Simple, but it does make you think.
"It should be that the really smart thing controls the dumb thing, but it's actually that the dumb thing controls the smart thing" Evolution. We've been on this earth only a very short time, relatively speaking, and most of that short time has been spent trying to survive. Only recently has our higher functioning brain really started to develop.
I just want to add, also, that I really recommend the book "Children of Time" - The conversation between these two reminded me of this book. Fantastic read.
It really depends on what consciousness is. Thus far we have yet to really define it. It could be quite possible that the brain is just a physical receiver for what we think of as consciousness. You can damage a radio to the point it can't play the radio signal anymore, but you haven't fundamentally damaged the signal itself just by damaging the receiver. Our knowledge of consciousness is basically in its infancy given that science hasn't even properly defined consciousness nor created a test to detect it.
People who study Near Death Experiences know that consciousness does separate from the body. They will tell you we are not our body.
@@taragnor Musk is right that we really don't have any hard evidence that consciousness is anything but our brain, but I think we can logically infer something else if we start with the idea that matter is fundamentally unconscious.
How do you bridge that gap from non-conscious matter to consciousness? The complexity of the brain is an amazing thing, but if you look from a purely materialistic pov we all should be just highly functional robots. All that information processing can do great things, but one thing non-conscious parts shouldn't be able to do is be conscious, no matter what the arrangement, complexity, or speed of processing.
@@samik83 : Yeah, there's no hard evidence either way of what consciousness is, because consciousness isn't even a fully defined term. Materialistic science pretty much just sweeps it under the rug as being unimportant or as being a sort illusion generated by complexity.
I feel like the understanding of consciousness will probably come when when/if we are able to understand the nature of the origin of life from unlife. Thus far, what makes a thing "alive" is still a hotly debated topic among scientists, as we have no clear cut scientific test there either. And we don't have any real parallels to life in anything non-organic. Producing a machine that does what life does, that is, self-replicate and evolve, is an incredibly difficult task that even master engineers can't achieve. Yet we're to believe that essentially random processes produced a highly complex system that modern day human intelligence can't even deliberately design. Life itself is both staggeringly easy to create (tons of new life is created every minute), yet also incredibly difficult (we've never created life from unlife in a lab). From an engineering standpoint that's rather unprecedented and at least to me suggests that maybe life is more unique than many give it credit for. Granted that's far from hard evidence, but life to me feels like it's something fundamentally different.
Artificial intelligence has interesting possibilities, but its evolution is totally different from how human intelligence works. For instance, it's an "easy" task to teach a primitive AI to play chess at a master level (something most human brains can't do), while it's very difficult to teach a primitive AI to control a body, process visual/sound and scent inputs and use that to hunt and find food, detect and avoid dangers, etc. something that even relatively simple brains like those found in rodents can do. It all suggests that AI will never really think like a person. That's not to say it won't be able to perform some amazing feats, but it's not intelligence as humans think of it.
I wouldn't say you damage your consciousness, I'd just say you've changed it. Like neuroplasticity, something else might pick up the slack or just update.

Your podcast has quickly become very special to me.
I love the tone of the entire conversation. The build up in hope for the future, but with the grim reminder that things don't always continue to go up for civilisations. Some regress, some fall, some are destroyed. As an inter-connected global civilisation, the risk is even greater, as Elon says. And then rightfully gets you thinking, just how many civilised planets were there out there that have fallen?
None. We're the first and only one to get a chance not to fuck it up.
@@PinataOblongata and how would you know?
@@henrybottomsworth You know how Elon argued that an AI that could fool you might as well be considered another human? If we've seen no other evidence for life coming from the vastness the universe, then in effect we are alone. If it's out there and all the factors are such that we will never know (such as the distances and how short-lived any intelligent civ might be, such that there' snot enough overlaps between them existing that they ever statistically have a chance to interact even if they gain the capability) then for all intents and purposes, they don't exist.
@@henrybottomsworth It's "for all intents and purposes", not, "for all intakes porpoises", lol. And yes, I suppose I'm being a little facetious/devil's advocate, because obviously no one knows ANYTHING for sure, least of all what's beyond our ability to image. However, it's actually more open-minded to consider we are alone than it is to go with the general idea that space is huge and therefore must statistically contain other life. I'm a molecular biologist by training, and I'm interested in astronomy. Think about the combination of the Drake equation, add more nuance from what we currently know about potentially habitable planets (i.e. Earth-likes are super rare) and then think about how many things had to happen just the right way for intelligent life to form here. Like Elon said, just 10 percent difference to any of a raft of factors, and we wouldn't be here. Wouldn't it be crazy if we were the only ones?
@Ron Burgundy Bacteria are bacteria. they aren't something else. We may not have found and described them all, but we know what constitutes the ones we have. You conjecture is a cool idea, but unlikely. I'd find it more likely to be infected by a new/alien bacteria that's just as "dumb" as any other, not one that somehow has intent and communication (past what we know about biofilms).
“Dumb things control smart things.”
