Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
As part of MIT course 6S099, Artificial General Intelligence,
00:00.000
00:04.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I've gotten the chance to sit down with Max Tegmark.
00:04.200
00:06.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
He is a professor here at MIT.
00:06.600
00:08.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
He's a physicist, spent a large part of his career
00:08.680
00:11.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
studying the mysteries of our cosmological universe.
00:11.920
00:16.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
But he's also studied and delved into the beneficial
00:16.960
00:20.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
possibilities and the existential risks
00:20.680
00:24.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
of artificial intelligence.
00:24.000
00:25.800
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Amongst many other things, he is the cofounder
00:25.800
00:29.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
of the Future of Life Institute, author of two books,
00:29.040
00:33.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
both of which I highly recommend.
00:33.080
00:35.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
First, Our Mathematical Universe.
00:35.160
00:37.260
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Second is Life 3.0.
00:37.260
00:40.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
He's truly an out of the box thinker and a fun personality,
00:40.160
00:44.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
so I really enjoy talking to him.
00:44.080
00:45.480

or conversations like this one.
00:59.600
01:01.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Better yet, go read Max's book, Life 3.0.
01:01.080
01:04.000
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Chapter seven on goals is my favorite.
01:04.000
01:07.940
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
It's really where philosophy and engineering come together
01:07.940
01:10.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and it opens with a quote by Dostoevsky.
01:10.480
01:13.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive
01:14.400
01:17.940
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
but in finding something to live for.
01:17.940
01:20.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Lastly, I believe that every failure rewards us
01:20.520
01:23.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
with an opportunity to learn
01:23.920
01:26.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and in that sense, I've been very fortunate
01:26.560
01:28.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
to fail in so many new and exciting ways
01:28.360
01:30.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and this conversation was no different.
01:31.840
01:34.020
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I've learned about something called
01:34.020
01:36.160
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
radio frequency interference, RFI, look it up.
01:36.160
01:40.840
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Apparently, music and conversations
01:40.840
01:42.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
from local radio stations can bleed into the audio
01:42.960
01:45.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that you're recording in such a way
01:45.480
01:47.080
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that it almost completely ruins that audio.
01:47.080
01:49.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
It's an exceptionally difficult sound source to remove.
01:49.360
01:52.060
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So, I've gotten the opportunity to learn
01:53.240
01:55.520
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
how to avoid RFI in the future during recording sessions.
01:55.520
02:00.200
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I've also gotten the opportunity to learn
02:00.200
02:02.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
how to use Adobe Audition and iZotope RX 6
02:02.680
02:06.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
to do some noise, some audio repair.
02:06.240
02:11.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Of course, this is an exceptionally difficult noise
02:11.720
02:14.380
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
to remove.
02:14.380
02:15.220
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I am an engineer.
02:15.220
02:16.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I'm not an audio engineer.
02:16.280
02:18.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Neither is anybody else in our group
02:18.240
02:20.180
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
but we did our best.
02:20.180
02:21.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Nevertheless, I thank you for your patience
02:21.880
02:25.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and I hope you're still able to enjoy this conversation.
02:25.040
02:27.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Do you think there's intelligent life
02:27.960
02:29.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
out there in the universe?
02:29.320
02:31.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
Let's open up with an easy question.
02:31.360
02:33.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
I have a minority view here actually.
02:33.480
02:36.240
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
When I give public lectures, I often ask for a show of hands
02:36.240
02:39.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
who thinks there's intelligent life out there somewhere else
02:39.440
02:42.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and almost everyone put their hands up
02:42.920
02:45.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and when I ask why, they'll be like,
02:45.440
02:47.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
oh, there's so many galaxies out there, there's gotta be.
02:47.360
02:50.900
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
But I'm a numbers nerd, right?
02:51.840
02:54.560
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So when you look more carefully at it,
02:54.560
02:56.640
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
it's not so clear at all.
02:56.640
02:58.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
When we talk about our universe, first of all,
02:59.080
03:00.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
we don't mean all of space.
03:00.680
03:03.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
We actually mean, I don't know,
03:03.040
03:04.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
you can throw me the universe if you want,
03:04.040
03:05.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
it's behind you there.
03:05.440
03:07.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
It's, we simply mean the spherical region of space
03:07.280
03:11.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
from which light has a time to reach us so far
03:11.440
03:15.360
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
during the 14.8 billion year,
03:15.360
03:17.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
13.8 billion years since our Big Bang.
03:17.040
03:19.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
There's more space here but this is what we call a universe
03:19.320
03:22.320
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
because that's all we have access to.
03:22.320
03:24.040
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
So is there intelligent life here
03:24.040
03:25.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that's gotten to the point of building telescopes
03:25.960
03:28.920
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
and computers?
03:28.920
03:29.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
My guess is no, actually.
03:31.160
03:34.540
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
The probability of it happening on any given planet
03:34.540
03:37.800
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
is some number we don't know what it is.
03:39.240
03:42.620
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And what we do know is that the number can't be super high
03:42.620
03:47.620
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
because there's over a billion Earth like planets
03:48.480
03:50.300
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
in the Milky Way galaxy alone,
03:50.300
03:52.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
many of which are billions of years older than Earth.
03:52.880
03:56.280
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And aside from some UFO believers,
03:56.280
04:00.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
there isn't much evidence
04:00.600
04:01.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that any superduran civilization has come here at all.
04:01.880
04:05.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And so that's the famous Fermi paradox, right?
04:05.600
04:08.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
And then if you work the numbers,
04:08.440
04:10.180
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
what you find is that if you have no clue
04:10.180
04:13.440
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
what the probability is of getting life on a given planet,
04:13.440
04:16.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
so it could be 10 to the minus 10, 10 to the minus 20,
04:16.880
04:19.680
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
or 10 to the minus two, or any power of 10
04:19.680
04:22.960
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
is sort of equally likely
04:22.960
04:23.800
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
if you wanna be really open minded,
04:23.800
04:25.480
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that translates into it being equally likely
04:25.480
04:27.600
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
that our nearest neighbor is 10 to the 16 meters away,
04:27.600
04:31.800
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
10 to the 17 meters away, 10 to the 18.
04:31.800
04:33.880
1
Max Tegmark
Life 3.0
By the time you get much less than 10 to the 16 already,
04:35.400
04:40.400
