Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

And the advantage of that is that it might actually teach us something about humans as well.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

Like, you know, we might not have words to describe these types of aspects right now,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

But when somebody speaks in a particular way, it might remind us of a friend that we know from here and there and there.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

And if we had better language for describing that, these concepts might become more apparent in our own human psyche.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

And then we might be able to encode them better in machines themselves.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

I like the concept that the human mind is somehow tied to ideology.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

And I think that goes back to the promptability of Chachiviti.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

The fact that you can kind of say, well, think in this particular way now.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

And the fact that humans have invented words for encapsulating these types of behaviors.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

And it's hard to know how much of that is innate and how much of that was like passed on from language to language.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

But basically, if you look at the evolution of language, you can kind of see how young are these words in the history of language evolution that describe these types of behaviors like, you know, kindness and anger and jealousy, et cetera.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

If these words are very similar from language to language, it might suggest that

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

they're very ancient.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

If they're very different, it might suggest that this concept may have emerged independently in each different language and so on and so forth.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

So looking at the phylogeny, the history, the evolutionary traces of language at the same time as people moving around that we can now trace thanks to genetics,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

is a fascinating way of understanding the human psyche and also understanding how these types of behaviors emerge.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

And to go back to your idea about exploring the system unfiltered,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

I mean, in a way, the psychiatric hospitals are full of those people.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

So basically people whose mind is uncontrollable, who have kind of gone adrift in specific locations of their psyche.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#373 โ€“ Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI

And I do find this fascinating.
