Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But what we're doing, you talk about types, like you can say, look, you can start with the world you already know and you can progressively learn new things and adopt them where it makes sense.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

If you never do that,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

that's cool.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

You're not a bad person.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

If you, if you get really excited about it and want to go all the way in the deep end and want to rewrite everything and like whatever, that's cool.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But I think the middle path is actually the more likely one where it's, um, you know, you, you come out with a new, a new idea and you discover, wow, that makes my code way simpler, way more beautiful, way faster, way, whatever.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And I think that's what people like.

#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Now, if you fast forward and you said like 10 years out, right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I can give you a very different answer on that, which is, I mean, if you go back and look at what computers looked like 20 years ago,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

every 18 months they got faster for free, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Two X faster every 18 months.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It was like clockwork.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It was, it was free, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

You go back 10 years ago and we entered in this world where suddenly we had multi-core CPUs and we had GPUs.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And if you squint and turn your head, what a GPU is, is it's just a mini core, very simple CPU thing kind of, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so, and 10 years ago it was CPUs and GPUs and graphics.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Today, we have CPUs, GPUs, graphics, and AI.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Because it's so important, because the compute is so demanding, because of the smart cameras and the watches and all the different places the AI needs to work in our lives, it's caused this explosion of hardware.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so part of my thesis, part of my belief of where computing goes, if you look out 10 years from now, is it's not going to get simpler.
