| 0:00.0 | Today's guest believes the rate of progress in AI means our only goal should be to stay alive long enough for AI to take over. |
| 0:08.9 | He believes that algorithms may hold the key to living forever. |
| 0:12.8 | Welcome back for Part 2 with Brian Johnson. |
| 0:16.0 | Do you have to use first principles to get to a zero-eth principle insight? Sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes it's |
| 0:23.7 | entirely a new primitive, like Einstein's discovery of special theory of relativity. |
| 0:28.8 | If there's a new dimension building on Newtonian physics, it's hard to get there through |
| 0:33.5 | first principles thinking. Or, you know, from Euclid's elements to Cartesian geometry. |
| 0:40.3 | So sometimes these ones to zeros are very hard to get to. |
| 0:44.3 | You're plucking them out of another dimension. |
| 0:47.3 | So, I mean, like with Go, you know, could humans have discovered the moves that AlphaGo played? |
| 0:56.0 | Probably. Did they? No. |
| 0:59.0 | Was AlphaGo able to discover more game-changing moves in the game go faster than any human? |
| 1:06.0 | Yes. |
| 1:07.0 | You know, like a stunning degree. |
| 1:08.0 | And so, yeah, first principle thinking is you learn everything you can. |
| 1:13.5 | You make the fewest number of assumptions given a time frame, and you act with that knowledge. |
| 1:20.1 | And so that's how you go from version one to version two to version three. |
| 1:23.5 | It's a systematic process to improve based upon what you know. |
| 1:28.3 | Zero to principle thinking, you're working with unknown unknowns. |
| 1:32.3 | So you don't know what you're missing. |
| 1:35.3 | And when a... So just like if you're a physicist and you're working in Newtonian physics, |
| 1:41.3 | you don't know another dimension exists in the model of physics until Einstein discovers it. |
