Kind: captions Language: en i've been hosting this podcast called artificial intelligence for over two years now and i'm finally ready to release version 2.0 of the podcast with two updates change podcast name to lex friedman podcast very creative and switch the video to ascii i may or may not be kidding about the second part but i'm just excited to have figured out that employer and vlc have a bunch of ascii video modes including matrix view i can make a quick video tutorial on that if people are interested anyway i decided to change the name to just lex friedman podcast for several reasons first that's what most people call it anyway second i've already been interviewing physicists historians philosophers mathematicians writers athletes switching away from ai in the name gives me the freedom to do that a little bit more i still want to talk to the top researchers in artificial intelligence and science and tech in general but also people who inspire me and have had a big impact on my life outside of science and tech third most practically i've found a guest even slightly outside the field of ai like neuroscience neurobiology physics chemistry math have been intimidated by the name ai so going with a silly generic name my name just uh seems easier hopefully you see that i try hard to make the guest the star of the show not to take myself too seriously or seriously at all and always ask the simplest possible questions in hopes of arriving at something fundamental and even beautiful even if it makes me look like an idiot which i very often am rss feed is still the same everything is still the same if you enjoy this thing share it with others your kind words as before as always and your love has been fuel for me for which i'm forever grateful version 3.0 will be outside the simulation but for now let us stay here a little longer love you all you
