Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that seriously. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:15.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | The capacity to suffer and the deep questions I would ask of a system is can I eat it and | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:16.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | can I have sex with it? Which is the two fundamental tests of, again, the human condition. So I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:21.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | can basically do what Dali does that's in the physical space. So print out like a 3D | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:30.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | print Pepe the Frog with a propeller head, propeller hat is the dream. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:39.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Well yes and no. I mean, I want to get away from the 3D printing thing because that will | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:46.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | be available for some things much earlier. I mean, we can already do bladders and ears | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:50.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and things like that because it's micro level control, right? When you 3D print, you are | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:55.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | in charge of where every cell goes. And for some things that, you know, for, for like | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:17:59.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | this thing, they had that I think 20 years ago or maybe earlier than that, you could | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:02.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | do that. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:06.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | So yeah, I would like to emphasize the Dali part where you provide a few words and it | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:07.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | generates a painting. So here you say, I want a frog with these features and then it would | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:11.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | go direct a complex biological system to construct something like that. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:19.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Yeah. The main magic would be, I mean, I think from, from looking at Dali and so on, it looks | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:25.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | like the first part is kind of solved now where you go from, from the words to the image, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:30.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | like that seems more or less solved. The next step is really hard. This is what keeps things | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:34.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | like CRISPR and genomic editing and so on. That's what limits all the impacts for regenerative | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:39.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | medicine because going back to, okay, this is the knee joint that I want, or this is | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:46.880 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | the eye that I want. Now, what genes do I edit to make that happen, right? Going back | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:51.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | in that direction is really hard. So instead of that, it's going to be, okay, I understand | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:56.000 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | how to motivate cells to build particular structures. Can I rewrite the memory of what | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:18:59.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | they think they're supposed to be building such that then I can, you know, take my hands | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:03.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | off the wheel and let them, let them do their thing. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:07.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | So some of that is experiment, but some of that may be AI can help too. Just like with | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:09.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | protein folding, this is exactly the problem that protein folding in the most simple medium | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:13.960 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | tried and has solved with alpha fold, which is how does the sequence of letters result | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:23.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | in this three dimensional shape? And you have to, I guess it didn't solve it because you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:31.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | have to, if you say, I want this shape, how do I then have a sequence of letters? Yeah. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:37.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | The reverse engineering step is really tricky. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:43.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | It is. I think, I think we're, we're, and we're doing some of this now is, is to use | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:45.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | AI to try and build actionable models of the intelligence of the cellular collectives. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:51.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | So try to help us and help us gain models that, that, that, and, and we've had some | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:19:57.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | success in this. So we, we did something like this for, for, you know, for repairing birth | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:02.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | defects of the brain in frog. We've done some of this for normalizing melanoma where you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:08.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | can really start to use AI to make models of how would I impact this thing if I wanted | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:14.240 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | to given all the complexities, right. And, and, and given all the, the, the, the controls | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:20.140 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | that it, that it knows how to do. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:25.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | So when you say regenerative medicine, so we talked about creating biological organisms, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:27.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | but if you regrow a hand, that information is already there, right? The biological system | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:34.060 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | has that information. So how does regenerative medicine work today? How do you hope it works? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:41.440 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | What's the hope there? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:48.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Yeah. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:49.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Yeah. How do you make it happen? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:50.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Well today there's a set of popular approaches. So, so one is 3d printing. So the idea is | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:52.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I'm going to make a scaffold of the thing that I want. I'm going to seed it with cells | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:20:57.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and then, and then there it is, right? So kind of direct, and then that works for certain | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:00.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | things. You can make a bladder that way or an ear, something like that. The other, the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:03.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | other ideas is some sort of stem cell transplant. These are the ideas. If we, if we put in stem | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:08.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | cells with appropriate factors, we can get them to generate certain kinds of neurons | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:14.300 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | for certain diseases and so on. All of those things are good for relatively simple structures, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:17.920 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | but when you want an eye or a hand or something else, I think in this maybe an unpopular opinion, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:24.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | I think the only hope we have in any reasonable kind of timeframe is to understand how the | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:30.660 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | thing was motivated to get made in the first place. So what is it that, that made those | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:36.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | cells in the, in the beginning, create a particular arm with a particular set of sizes and shapes | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:41.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and number of fingers and all that. And why is it that a salamander can keep losing theirs | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:48.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and keep regrowing theirs and a planarian can do the same even more? So to me, uh, kind | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:51.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | of ultimate regenerate medicine was when you can tell the cells to build whatever it is | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:21:57.640 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | you need them to build. Right. And so the, so that we can all be like planaria basically, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:02.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | do you have to start at the very beginning or can you, um, do a shortcut? Cause we're | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:07.400 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | going to hand, you already got the whole organism. Yeah. So here's what we've done, right? So, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:13.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | we've, we've more or less solved that in frogs. So frogs, unlike salamanders do not regenerate | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:19.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | their legs as adults. And so, so, uh, we've shown that with a very, um, uh, kind of simple | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:24.160 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | intervention. So what we do is there's two things you need to, uh, you need to have a | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:31.800 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | signal that tells the cells what to do, and then you need some way of delivering it. And | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:36.100 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | so this is work together with, um, with David Kaplan and I should do a, um, a disclosure | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:39.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | here. We have a company called morphosuticals and spin off where we're trying to, uh, to | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:44.080 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | address, uh, uh, regenerate, you know, limb regeneration. So we've solved it in the frog | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:48.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | and we're now in trials and mice. So now we're going to, we're in mammals now. It's, I can't | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:52.320 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | say anything about how it's going, but the frog thing is solved. So what you do is, um, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:56.440 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | after you have a little frog, Lou Skywalker with every growing hand. Yeah, basically, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:22:59.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | basically. Yeah. Yeah. So what you do is we did, we did with legs instead of forearms. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:04.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | And what you do is, um, after amputation, normally they, they don't regenerate. You | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:07.840 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | put on a wearable bioreactor. So it's this thing that, um, that goes on and, uh, Dave | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:11.200 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | Kaplan does lab makes these things and inside it's a, it's a very controlled environment. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:15.620 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | It is a silk gel that carries, uh, some drugs, for example, ion channel drugs. And what you're | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:21.300 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | doing is you're saying to the cells, you should regrow what normally goes here. So, uh, that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:26.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | whole thing is on for 24 hours and you take it off and you don't touch the leg. Again, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:33.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | this is really important because what we're not looking for is a set of micromanagement, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:37.760 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | uh, you know, printing or controlling the cells we want to trigger. We want to, we want | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:41.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | to interact with it early on and then not touch it again because, because we don't know | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:45.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | how to make a frog leg, but the frog knows how to make a frog leg. So 24 hours, 18 months | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:49.260 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | of leg growth after that, without us touching it again. And after 18 months, you get a pretty | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:54.820 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | good leg that kind of shows this proof of concept that early on when the cells right | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:23:58.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | after injury, when they're first making a decision about what they're going to do, you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:02.720 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | can, you can impact them. And once they've decided to make a leg, they don't need you | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:05.560 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | after that. They can do their own thing. So that's an approach that we're now taking. | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:09.440 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | What about cancer suppression? That's something you mentioned earlier. How can all of these | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:14.040 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | ideas help with cancer suppression? | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:18.480 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | So let's, let's go back to the beginning and ask what, what, what, what cancer is. So I | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:20.360 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | think, um, you know, asking why there's cancer is the wrong question. I think the right question | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:23.600 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | is why is there ever anything but cancer? So, so in the normal state, you have a bunch | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:28.520 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | of cells that are all cooperating towards a large scale goal. If that process of cooperation | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:33.420 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | breaks down and you've got a cell that is isolated from that electrical network that | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:38.680 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | lets you remember what the big goal is, you revert back to your unicellular lifestyle | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:42.780 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | as far as, now think about that border between self and world, right? Normally when all these | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:47.280 |
Michael Levin: Biology, Life, Aliens, Evolution, Embryogenesis & Xenobots | Lex Fridman Podcast #325 | cells are connected by gap junctions into an electrical network, they are all one self, | https://karpathy.ai/lexicap/0325-large.html#02:24:51.020 |
