#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

I think to a very large extent, we went through a number of iterations and we learned a ton about how to create these data sets.

#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

I'm not seeing big open problems.

#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

Originally, when I joined, I was really not sure how this would turn out.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

But by the time I left, I was much more secure in actually understanding the philosophy of how to create these data sets.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

And I was pretty comfortable with where that was at the time.

Yeah, pixels, I think, are a beautiful sensor, I would say.

The thing is, cameras are very, very cheap, and they provide a ton of information, a ton of bits.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

So it's an extremely cheap sensor for a ton of bits, and each one of these bits has a constraint on the state of the world.

And so you get lots of megapixel images, very cheap, and it just gives you all these constraints for understanding what's actually out there in the world.

So vision is probably the highest bandwidth sensor

#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

It's a very high bandwidth sensor.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

It's not just that, but again, this real importance of

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

It's the sensor that humans use.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

Therefore, everything is designed for that sensor.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

The text, the writing, the flashing signs, everything is designed for vision.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

And so you just find it everywhere.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

And so that's why that is the interface you want to be in.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

Talking again about these universal interfaces.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

And that's where we actually want to measure the world as well and then develop software for that sensor.

#333 โ€“ Andrej Karpathy: Tesla AI, Self-Driving, Optimus, Aliens, and AGI

I mean, you have a powerful prior for how the world evolves over time, et cetera.
