Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
which can help us by being incredibly intelligent
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:15.600
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and help us crack mysteries that we couldn't.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:19.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
In other words, I think we've really only seen
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:21.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
the tip of the intelligence iceberg so far.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:23.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Yeah, so the perceptronium.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:26.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Yeah.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:29.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So you coined this amazing term.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:31.280
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
It's a hypothetical state of matter,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:33.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
sort of thinking from a physics perspective,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:35.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
what is the kind of matter that can help,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:38.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
as you're saying, subjective experience emerge,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:40.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
consciousness emerge.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:42.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So how do you think about consciousness
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:44.280
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
from this physics perspective?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:46.640
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Very good question.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:49.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So again, I think many people have underestimated
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:50.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
our ability to make progress on this
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:55.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
by convincing themselves it's hopeless
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:09:59.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
because somehow we're missing some ingredient that we need.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:01.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
There's some new consciousness particle or whatever.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:05.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I happen to think that we're not missing anything
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:09.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and that it's not the interesting thing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:12.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
about consciousness that gives us
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:16.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
this amazing subjective experience of colors
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:18.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and sounds and emotions.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:21.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
It's rather something at the higher level
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:23.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
about the patterns of information processing.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:26.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And that's why I like to think about this idea
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:28.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
of perceptronium.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:33.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
What does it mean for an arbitrary physical system
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:34.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
to be conscious in terms of what its particles are doing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:36.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
or its information is doing?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:41.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I don't think, I hate carbon chauvinism,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:43.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
this attitude you have to be made of carbon atoms
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:46.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
to be smart or conscious.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:47.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
There's something about the information processing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:50.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that this kind of matter performs.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:53.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Yeah, and you can see I have my favorite equations here
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:55.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
describing various fundamental aspects of the world.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:10:57.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I feel that I think one day,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:00.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
maybe someone who's watching this will come up
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:02.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
with the equations that information processing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:04.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
has to satisfy to be conscious.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:07.280
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I'm quite convinced there is big discovery
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:08.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
to be made there because let's face it,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:11.800
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
we know that so many things are made up of information.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:15.400
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
We know that some information processing is conscious
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:18.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
because we are conscious.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:21.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
But we also know that a lot of information processing
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:25.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is not conscious.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:27.600
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Like most of the information processing happening
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:28.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
in your brain right now is not conscious.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:30.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
There are like 10 megabytes per second coming in
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:32.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
even just through your visual system.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:36.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
You're not conscious about your heartbeat regulation
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:38.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
or most things.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:40.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Even if I just ask you to like read what it says here,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:42.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
you look at it and then, oh, now you know what it said.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:45.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
But you're not aware of how the computation actually happened.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:48.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Your consciousness is like the CEO
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:51.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that got an email at the end with the final answer.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:53.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So what is it that makes a difference?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:11:56.680
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I think that's both a great science mystery.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:01.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
We're actually studying it a little bit in my lab here
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:05.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
at MIT, but I also think it's just a really urgent question
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:07.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
to answer.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:10.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
For starters, I mean, if you're an emergency room doctor
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:12.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
and you have an unresponsive patient coming in,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:14.880
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
wouldn't it be great if in addition to having
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:17.160
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
a CT scanner, you had a consciousness scanner
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:22.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
that could figure out whether this person
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:25.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is actually having locked in syndrome
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:27.920
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
or is actually comatose.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:30.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And in the future, imagine if we build robots
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:33.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
or the machine that we can have really good conversations
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:37.000
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
with, which I think is very likely to happen.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:41.480
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Wouldn't you want to know if your home helper robot
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:44.840
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is actually experiencing anything or just like a zombie,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:47.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I mean, would you prefer it?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:51.320
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
What would you prefer?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:53.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Would you prefer that it's actually unconscious
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:54.360
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
so that you don't have to feel guilty about switching it off
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:56.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
or giving boring chores or what would you prefer?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:12:58.560
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
Well, certainly we would prefer,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:02.120
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
I would prefer the appearance of consciousness.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:06.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
But the question is whether the appearance of consciousness
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:08.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is different than consciousness itself.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:11.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And sort of to ask that as a question,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:15.040
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
do you think we need to understand what consciousness is,
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:18.200
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
solve the hard problem of consciousness
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:21.760
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
in order to build something like an AGI system?
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:23.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
No, I don't think that.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:28.240
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
And I think we will probably be able to build things
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:30.440
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
even if we don't answer that question.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:34.520
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
But if we want to make sure that what happens
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:36.080
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
is a good thing, we better solve it first.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:37.720
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So it's a wonderful controversy you're raising there
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:40.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
where you have basically three points of view
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:44.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
about the hard problem.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:47.960
Max Tegmark: Life 3.0 | Lex Fridman Podcast #1
So there are two different points of view.
https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0001-large.html#00:13:48.800
