This is fascinating. I wonder where and how a lay person can dig into this more and really understand what he’s talking about. I grasped the macro of the concepts but not the micro. Not at all. I really want to see how this process works. I’m gobsmacked by how smart people are. And at how little I understand outside of my lane—I’m a lawyer. This stuff makes me realize that I should have turned right into engineering instead of left into humanities in college. Oh well. I am still free to learn all I can about whatever I want. I’d just like to go more than an inch deep. I want to go a foot deep.
~36min: So worst case, if and when AI Robots take over, they may very well be building themselves at 100,000,000X the speed with which our auto industries build cars…sobering…
This is SO GOOD, Gershenfeld is just exploding with ideas, and Lex, you are such a catalyst. Thank you so much for providing this. I have renewed hope for humanity.
Yes.
The challenge has never been technology, it’s only ever what human do with it. I hear in this interview only new methods to augment what human already do to each other.
Radar was invented by the Brits and given to the US in exchange for help fighting the Germans (lend/lease/hiring a gunman). I stand to be corrected.
Thanks Lex, you’re a gem.
too bad he couldn't bring/show examples for each discussion
I wish professors like this were better spread around the country, or that I had at least met someone like this when I started college. What do you do when you go to college, and are so bored with your classes that you just can't stay focused and end up dropping out?
I think Maxwell's demon may represent some type of algorithm, or code to the universe that we don't understand. perhaps a higher dimension interacting with the one below it.

i call bullshit. dude is just rambling.
It would be interesting to know how much plastic waste, waste in general these FabLabs produce all around the world to make useless doohickey's. Not to mention how much do they reduce the resources from job-centers where they're usually are built.
So, time is god. The greeks were right. Give enough time to the system and it will find it's way to life.

Lex! Thanks for all the amazing interviews with some of the most interesting people!
guy's a hack.
Error correcting self replicating AI… NICE.😂😢😅
The secrets are in mycelium.
Didn’t the X-Men teach us that this is a bad idea? They basically creating Master Molds 😂😂🤖😬
This was really interesting, I'd love to hear more interviews with other CEOs.
Also this guy seems to be really decent and skilled.
He sounds like dr frink from the Simpsons
I am not very smart but if it is about nanobots and xenonots kinda
((as i write this i haven't finished listening to the pod))
Will this if this works accually lead to Immortality in the future? 😮😮
The welding industries loss .
Trouble with Microfluidic bubble formation was the end of one of my experiements as well.
Mind bending life changing❤
Best podcast episode yet. FUCK

Super interesting. What an amazing human!
Let's add some ai and some weapons and teach it how to fight in war 😂😂 brill idea right
This guy is so cool
I’m so lost 😂
Mr. Gershenfeld is not an expert in electronic music, so it is understandable that he mistakenly stated at 9:25 that David Gordon was the first electronic musician. In reality, several innovators and musicians preceded him, with some emerging as early as 1913:
1. Luigi Russolo – Wrote and performed the manifesto "L'arte dei Rumori" in 1913 and constructed various "intonarumori" around the same time.
2. Léon Theremin – Invented and played the theremin in 1919.
3. Oskar Sala – Invented the Mixtur-Trautonium in the 1930s.
4. Karlheinz Stockhausen – Began producing electronic music in the early 1950s and was a prominent figure throughout the '50s and '60s.
5. Pierre Schaeffer – Pioneer of musique concrète, he began producing such works in the late 1940s. Pierre Henry collaborated with Schaeffer and began his career around the same time.
6. Edgard Varèse – "Déserts", a piece for tape and orchestra, had its first performance in 1954, and "Poème électronique" was composed for the 1958
World's Fair in Brussels.
7. Wendy Carlos – The album "Switched-On Bach", played on a Moog synthesizer, was released in 1968.
In conclusion, prior to 1969 when David Borden, with the support of Robert Moog, founded the synthesizer ensemble Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company, a significant number of musicians had already been creating and performing electronic music.
@ 40:18 I see Lex.and I see man who successfully stopped.himself from exploding with laughter. For parrots? Oh em)l!⁹8k) ?
To the point being made about Maxwell's Demon around the 1:30:00 mark:
Yes, theoretically the quickest way to "solve" for.an unknown in an equation would be to generate the exact answer simply by spitting out a random number. But obviously this is improbable, actually so unlikely as to trivialize the "point" that the fastest 'algorithm'/code for a problem.is just some random entry in a loo-up table.
Obviously Maxwell's Demon has access to this realm of impossible information(imp) which also.has an impossible one-to-one relationship between this "imp" and the actual/real world. Double improbable is soooo impossible.
Eight orders of magnitude seems to be saying that we have a long way to go to achieve an artificial parity with life processes. The journey has been, and hopefully will continue to be, paced by this remarkable man.
no matter what video i play, the next one in the autoplay queue is Lex Fridman… it seems like YouTube likes you, likes you more than i feel comfortable… sorry but i have to block your channel, i had enough…
If a Tesla Optimus robot can make another Optimus robot in 5 days (they don’t need to sleep, so that’s 120 hours) then by the end of a year (320 days actually) you’d have…
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 robots!
We’re going to need a bigger warehouse 🤣
"I learned the secret of life." is a faaaaaaaar stretch, imo. One can hardly understand the secret of life by going nano. Sure you can understand how little things are coming together to make bigger things, but secret of life!!! LIfe includes Man (Mind or Mun, un pronounced as in sun), Buddhi (Intellect), Chitta (Infinite Consciousness reflected as feeling in the human heart), and Ahamkar (Ego or "I am the doer" aspect of human psyche). So looking at nano particles assemble bigger and more complex structures hardly makes you the master of those four aspects.
Wow. Just wow. ❤
I almost can’t watch Neil because his voice and mannerisms are an uncanny match to SBF. 😢
he would have been a horrible weldor
I have listened to this conversation two times already and I am going to listen to it once more.
Lex, please invite Neil again.
This guy speaks like some super genius people that I’ve met who had autism. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t slightly on the spectrum. Same type of speaking cadence. I could be totally wrong….
