Tesla Bot is truly amazing. It's the early steps of a revolution in the role that AI & robots play in human civilization.

What the Tesla team was been able to accomplish in the last few months is just incredible.

As someone who loves AI and robotics, I'm inspired beyond words.

Here's my conversation with Michael Levin about biological robots and how to understand and control complex biological systems, including intelligent lifeforms on Earth and beyond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3lsYlod5OU

Food poisoning floored me for several days. It's funny that one late-night snack took me on a wild mental journey 🤣 It was fun to learn the places my mind will go when in fever. I wasn't able to think, but was able to distinctly appreciate the finiteness and absurdity of life.

Crypto bots are the worst. Fake Vitaliks are all around me 🤣

Here's my conversation with Annaka Harris about the nature of reality, free will, and consciousness, from the perspectives of physics and neuroscience. This was a fun and an eye-opening conversation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6zEzZCtkXw

Here's my conversation with Levy Rozman (aka GothamChess), the internet's chess teacher. This was a fun and wide-ranging conversation, and yes we cover the chess cheating saga... The podcast speaks for itself. 😎 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSMpTmibeDw

Humans killed by sharks every year: 6-10
Sharks killed by humans every year: 100+ million

Most people think the first number is much higher, and don't think about the second number at all.

Facts like these make me wonder how many blindspots we have about the truth of the world.

When I program, I'm leveraging the work of millions of other people, including code in libraries, compilers, operating systems, computer networks, and the complex web of hardware infrastructure that makes the whole thing run. It's fun being 1 curious human among 8 billion others.

We all evolved from one single-celled organism that lived 3.5 billion years ago 🤯

Sometimes a kind word from a stranger can make me completely forget whatever concerns were weighing heavy on my heart. Kindness like that is a small gift that can make the biggest difference. I was lucky to get that today. I'll try to pass it on tomorrow.

Here's my conversation with Kate Darling, human-robot interaction and robot ethics researcher at MIT and author of The New Breed, a book in which she explores what our past with animals reveals about our future with robots. Kate is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFntEFXKDHM

Relatable 🤣

Here's my conversation with Hikaru Nakamura, one of the best chess players in the world and a top chess streamer. We talk about his games with Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Garry Kasparov & others, plus psychology of chess and the cheating scandal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJNvxYEcVAY

Here's my conversation with Balaji Srinivasan (@balajis). We talk for almost 8 hours about how to fix government, social media, science, and the FDA. This was a wild and fascinating ride through ideas of how to build systems that empower human flourishing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeH7qKZr0WI

Kindness and empathy is not weakness, it's strength.

History of life on Earth is full of love and suffering. I believe that in the long-run: love wins.

Here's my conversation with Kanye 'Ye' West. Given my family history in the 20th century, this was difficult but important. I believe in the power of tough, honest, empathetic conversation to increase the amount of love in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AWLcxTGZPA

Here's my conversation with Andrej Karpathy, a legendary AI researcher, engineer, and educator, and former director of AI at Tesla. This was super fun, technical, and inspiring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdiD-9MMpb0

Listen to people's pain, not their anger and hatred.
