#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

And nowhere is that more true than in the process of idea development.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

As I talked about in a recent episode with Michael Levin, do we have ideas or do ideas have us?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

And ideas have a way of kind of occupying, for a time or for a generation, the brains of multiples of people.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

And those ideas are formed and shaped and modified and evolved.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

across those brains, utilizing those brains, or the brains do the modification.

I'm attending NeurIPS in San Diego, which is a machine learning conference.

And boys, one thing clear, aside all the fascinating technical details...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

the turmoil of the research world, the excitement, the wonder, the mystery, beyond all that is the reality that in order for the scaling laws to hold, the compute needs to scale.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

And for the compute to scale,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

We need energy.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

In the United States, the scaling of the energy infrastructure is essential because the demand for electricity is growing at an unprecedented scale.

Lex Fridman Podcast

Chevron is working hard to provide multi-gigawatts of delivered power with the flexibility to scale further.

Lex Fridman Podcast

Energy is not an easy problem, especially if the scaling laws hold, especially if there's benefits to the products that rely on artificial intelligence, both for the training side and the inference side.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#487 – Irving Finkel: Deciphering Secrets of Ancient Civilizations & Flood Myths

And frankly, I think it is the inference side that will over time consume more and more energy and require more and more compute.
