#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

You're kind of devaluing the, the, the majesty of life.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

And I don't, I don't know.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

I, I, the, the idea that we're now catching these patterns and, and,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

were able to do meaningful research on the interfaces and all that is just, to me, absolutely beautiful.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

And that it's all one spectrum, I think, to me is amazing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

I'm enriched by it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

Well, the first thing I would ask is, how much should I even be talking to?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

For sure, because it's not clear to me at all that getting somebody to tell you an answer in the long run is optimal.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

it's the difference between when you're a kid learning math and having an older sibling, they'll just tell you the answers, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

Like sometimes it's just like, come on, just give me the answer.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

Let's move on with this, you know, cancer protocol and whatever, like great.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

But in the long run, the process of discovering it yourself, how much of that are we willing to give up?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

And by getting a final answer, how much have we missed?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

Of stuff we might have found along the way now I don't know what the thing is I you know I don't think it's correct to say don't do that at all you know take take the time and all the blind alleys and like that may not be optimal either but we don't know what the optimal is we don't know how much we should be stumbling around stumbling around versus having somebody tell us the answer.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

That's actually a brilliant question to ask AGI then.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

I mean, if it's really an AGI, I'm like, tell me what the balance is.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

Like how much should I be talking to you versus stumbling around in the lab and making all my, you know, all my, my own mistakes.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

It was at 70, 30, you know, 10, 90.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#486 โ€“ Michael Levin: Hidden Reality of Alien Intelligence & Biological Life

I don't know.

Lex Fridman Podcast

So that would be, that would be the first.
