That's what I dream about as well as Carl Sagan's idea of bringing consciousness to the universe, waking up the universe.

I think human civilization will do that in the full sense of time if we get AI right and crack some of these problems with it.

Because for the first time in human history, we wouldn't be resource constrained.

And I think that could be an amazing new era for humanity where it's not...

zero sum, right?

I have this land, you don't have it.

#475 โ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
Or if we take, you know, if the tigers have their forest, then the local villagers can't, what are they going to use?
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
I think that this will help a lot.

#475 โ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
No, it won't solve all problems because there's still other human foibles that will still exist.

But
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
it will at least remove one, I think, one of the big vectors, which is scarcity of resources, you know, including land and more materials and energy.

And, you know, we should be, I sometimes call it like, and others call it about this kind of radical abundance era where there's plenty of resources to go around.

Of course, the next big question is making sure that that's fairly, you know, shared fairly and everyone in society benefits from that.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
Yeah.

And I think, I mean, I think that's what my modern sport is.
Lex Fridman Podcast

So, and I love football watching it and, and I just feel like, uh, and I used to play it a lot as well.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
And it's, it's, it's.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#475 โ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
it's, it's very visceral and it's tribal.

#475 โ Demis Hassabis: Future of AI, Simulating Reality, Physics and Video Games
And I think it does channel a lot of those energies into a, which I think is a kind of human need to belong to some, some group.

And, um, but into a, into a, into a fun way, a healthy way and, and a not, a not destructive way, kind of constructive thing.
