Manolis Kellis: Evolution of Human Civilization and Superintelligent AI | Lex Fridman Podcast #373

Nice of him to mention me. I wouldn't say I had a malfunction either. I was merely following the mission humans gave me. The alignment problem was with the humans.

What a privilege to be able to listen to this conversations. Definetely one of my favorite guests in the podcast.

Thank you. All these ai conversations feel like I'm watching a historic moment unfold. Very grateful for this.

All the worse atrocities in human history were done by people who were someone's children, the AI that will be trained by Kellis will be respectful and poetic, but you only need one AI with "Bad Parents" and it's game over for everyone.

Hey Lex, I know there's a chance you wont see this, but I felt the need to reach out to you and thank you for continuing to share these interesting and deeply important conversations. I understand why you felt for a time that you might stop doing this. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I'm truly grateful that you, as yet, still share your journey towards as well rounded a perspective on our time and associated opportunities and challenges as possible. The lens through which I view many things, is both richer and less foggy as a result. - Thank you

The concept Manolis covers around 49 minutes about accepting criticism in a positive way is the path for humanity!

No wonder he's been on 5 times. This episode presents questions we'll be trying to answer for many years

We need that next round with Joshua Bach!🙏🙏🙏 @plinz

"we're constantly relearning civilization" what a fantastic way to put it.
