#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, so what I want, I mean, coming back to my arch nemesis, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It's complexity, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So again, me being the optimist, if we drive down complexity, we can make these tools, these technologies, these cool hardware widgets accessible to way more people.

#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so what I'd love to see is more personalized experiences, more things, the research getting into production instead of being lost at NeurIPS.

#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And these things that impact people's lives by entering products.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so one of the things that I'm a little bit concerned about is right now, the big companies are investing huge amounts of money and are driving the top line of AI capability forward really quickly.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But if it means that you have to have $100 million to train a model or more, $100 billion, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, that's going to make it very concentrated with very few people in the world that can actually do this stuff.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I would much rather see lots of people across the industry

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

be able to participate and use this, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And you look at this, you know, I mean, a lot of great research has been done in the health world and looking at like detecting pathologies and doing radiology with AI and like doing all these things.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, the problem today is that to deploy and build these systems, you have to be an expert in radiology and an expert in AI and,

#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And if we can break down the barriers so that more people can use AI techniques, and it's more like programming Python, which roughly everybody can do if they want to, then I think that we'll get a lot more practical application of these techniques and a lot more nichier, cool, but narrower domains.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And I think that's going to be really cool.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, so I think we'll have more programmers, but they may not consider themselves to be programmers.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

That'd be a different name for it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I mean, do you consider somebody that uses, you know, I think that arguably the most popular programming language is Excel.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 – Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so do they consider themselves to be programmers?
