Hello and welcome to another episode of the JRE Review. The JRE Review podcast reviews the best of the Joe Rogan experience podcast for the week. It's a review show.

It's like how events are for the news. There's no direct correlation, but interesting things have happened and I want to talk about it.

Sometimes I have guests on, friends of mine or just fans of Rogan that want to talk about particular episodes that they really enjoyed.

This week's episode is podcast 1188 Lex Friedman. Lex is a physicist that studies artificial intelligence.

Maybe he is more of a computer coder. Basically what he does is he spent his life trying to understand and create AI artificial intelligence.

He is a super interesting guy so I can see why Rogan wanted him on. He was talking about taking the angle of learning a lot of philosophy to understand consciousness.

Consciousness is the center point of what artificial intelligence is going to be. How do you make some sort of consciousness?

First you have to understand what it is. He has been listening to people like Sam Harris and very smart people that study the mind.

That's the angle that he takes towards solving this problem. I found that really fascinating.

They move on to talk about Neil de Grass Tyson for that. Neil always comes up because he is very smart and has great theories on things and all things science.

They were talking about how he loves to shit on movies. Neil de Grass Tyson was on Rogan not that long ago. One of the things he says he doesn't do anymore is talk about movies because people get mad at him.

One of the ones they get into is that movie Gravity with San Gopola and George Clooney. Neil was saying how silly it is that all the space stations are so close together.

It's so close together. It wouldn't be like that. It's just one of the things that he pointed out. Joe wanted to talk about the new Aliens movie.

He had the robots in and that was a version of AI. One of them was very creative but there was a problem with it because he was so creative that it made the robots act kind of messed up.

I don't know if you got. I think that one was called Prometheus or something. Good movie. I really liked the character that played the robot too. There were two types of robots in there.

One was a newer model but didn't have the ability to be creative. They took it out. It was more like a server robot. They battled it out. It was a good representation of AI and what it could do.

Of course with a Hollywood twist on it. I definitely liked that. Joe talks a little bit about his very first Gidzo class to Lex.

Really how his background in martial arts was honestly useless up until then. Joe was a very good national level.

The ages of 15 to 21. It really shaped a lot of how he sees the world and understands things.

When he got to Gidzo he was up against the guy's similar size and he just got demolished. If you've ever trained Gidzo you know that is the case.

It's very humbling. It makes you realize that there's no brute strength stuff. You can just learn the skills of movement and it's just like being a human being the trains is all you need.

It doesn't matter what size you are. I've even seen people that have disabilities like a shorter arm or like a bad leg and they've trained a long time and they're pretty handy.
