I guess he has achieved a lot at his age (33). Obviously top 1% intellect in his field.

Yeah, he was researching into if driver-assisted AI would outperform the AI alone and Musk basically said the AI will eventually be held back by driver assistants to researching into it is moot since the technology will quickly make it irrelevant. He was really smug and dismissive about it as well.

i think i agree with Elon in the long term, but i don’t know the current SOTA and how far away that is in the future. but if Tesla is currently using human-assisted it’s probably still a useful research direction...

AlphaZero(completely from scratch with no database) beat AlphaGo (learned from initial human database)

AlphaZero(0 human database) beat Stockfish(expert level AI with human rules/database of best chess moves)
LeelaZero(based on AlphaZero) beat Stockfish.

Human input will only be holding back AI imo. Elon wants to streamline their current Autopilot to have even less human input and going straight from raw sensor instead of converting shit to video/frames.

i agree with elon but these comparisons are horrible. alphazero is just trained from self play on a simple game with simple rules and full knowledge of the state of the game (although yes complexity does arise from the number of possible games)

I like him. I enjoy his podcast because he introduces me to some tech leaders I would have otherwise not have known before, like Jim Keller (aka Silicon Ronin). Wish he would talk more into the architecture of TPU and how they differ to GPUs. Would be an interesting topic.

OpenAI with dota2
DeepStar with starcraft

Go game does not show its full state with AI or human. It's all paternity recognition. Chess isn't solved either. NN AI don't have full knowledge of the game, they make inferences based on data. They can't calculate all the possibilities.

>> No.11387619

I don't know, his success seems to come more from dedication and hard work rather than having a superior intellect, which is admirable of course. But he definitely is not quite on the genius level as some of the people in his podcast. Still like him though.

>>11387411
Definitely agree with Elon. History has shown fully automatic systems tend to beat "human assisted" AI in the long run (also see http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html).).

I think of this kind of stuff as something to draw more audience, make subject more popular, make things more intresting. The podcast is obviously not intended to be purely academic.
Wheter that is something harmfull or helpfull is another thing, maybe it spawns pseuds more than it inspires people to pursue their stem related passions (i hope there is a plural form) more seriously. I tend to think it is more of the latter, i really do no t know any other better place where i can find thst much of intetest-specific simmultaneously informational and entertaining content, by that i mean it's better than watching 3 hours of jre talking about ancient aliens, while still lex podcast provides a way to turn brain off after intelectually demanding work.

Well, I'm listening to the P vs NP part of this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BdBfsXbST8

When Knuth talked about classification of graphs, he spoke of classes of graphs that are closed under taking minor (shrinking edge to a vertex or deleting edge), one such class is planar graphs, but the description of such classes is clearly complicated, so kinda analogous to NP problem

Then he mentioned Robertson Seymour theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertson%E2%80%93Seymour_theorem which tells you for any such class there is a finite list of graphs that can serve as a test, if it's not in the class, you can shrink it down to one in that list of bad minimal graph. When the class is planar, the list simply contains two graphs K(5) - everyone among five neighbors or K(3,3) - the connecting 3 utilities to 3 houses without crossing meme problem on sci

1:04:00 this dude asked "why do you bring up this theorem" lol obviously the finite list of bad minors is analogous to the finite exponents in a hypothetical algorithm to solve an NP problem, it's finite but it could be 2, 20 or 20000 so it might not be useful. I'm a layman in this topic but I can see that. Knuth brought this up as a case where P is not useful in practice.

So Knuth explained the obvious, then 1:06 this dude asked again why Knuth holds the intuition that P = NP is possible when it could be so counter intuitive, this annoys me, Knuth just explained that above (he gave an example that can give an intuition as to why P = NP might not be so paradoxical) Then the interview became a bit meandering about some Aliens shit lmao, idk this guy might be a good AI coder but he doesn't strike me as particularly clever.

Well, he does sort of state that his speculations in the simulation theory is mostly a thought experiment, but even so, I would say that noone in the top 1% in the field of AI even would consider simulation theory to be correct.

My point is that he's an AI superstar, sort of like how Jordan B Peterson is a psychology superstar, not that they're necessarily the best at what they do. Above average, sure, but not the best.
