1. this was great

2. great interview, Lex. However, I think Eric was being slightly disingenuous regarding the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) debate. The issue isn't necessarily a fear of Terminator-like robots in the streets, the matter is far more subtle. The question is: if our interests should become unaligned with the interests of the AGI, will that lead to unforeseen disastrous consequences like a disruption of markets, international conflict, etc. Nick Bostrom's book 'Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies' is a really good place to start in order to really unpack the issue properly.

3. Didn't understand the scale of impact "most of them"

4. I respect you Elon, sorry Lex (;)) for bringing these amazing minds to your podcasts. And I love your passion. I have to tell you that you are my Role Model, Lex. 🙂

5. Lex, you asked some questions that many interviewers would dance around and not ask. I really appreciate for asking those questions and the insight they brought. Thank you

6. This guy is humble AF.

7. Eric thanks so much for your grand contribution to the field of Engineering and Software you are constantly finding ways to improve and make things better computer and technology wise we the people love it. God has placed each of us here for a purpose and you are surely fulfilling yours. Eric God birth the thoughts that's embedded in your head which sparks the existence of your ideas to come to fruition to unleash what is now your business praise Him for that!!! God bless you from your sister in Christ in Hammond, LA.

8. Great interview. I like to stop and take a moment to appreciate what a privilege and delight it is to listen to these interviews with such amazing people.. Thanks!

9. GOOGLE IS EVIL

10. Eric Schmidt developed Lex in 1975 and now he is being interviewed by Lex

11. Why he keeps repeating google is not building killer robots?
    Does someone claim that?

12. Elon should bring Eric Schmidt into Tesla/SpaceX

13. This pervert is working with the CCP against both the Chinese and America people.. Do the truth research about his long-range plans before you admire this psychopath….

14. He's aged quite a bit since failing to get Hillary in as president.

15. This guy obviously doesn't understand AI if he thinks its not a threat and if it ever becomes a threat we can just turn them off. Elon must be pissing himself with laughter.

16. Inspiring!

17. Loving your interview room. Minded of nice new police station, cosy interview rooms, detectives moved to storage cupboards. It's about answering, not comfort.

18. I would like to hear a long debate on if mass migration to cities is actually a net benefit. I am leaning toward no on average.

19. The issue with AI/ML and data science is that it is not real engineering or physics. These are statistical based modeling fields that are used for analysis of uncertain systems. There is a ton of "innovation" in this area, but it mostly resembes art. Putting more layers into a RNN or averaging the output of multiple models I would not call innovation. Google invented a software engineering algorithm and use case along with it. Not to mention the marketing schemes, data collection, nice clean software. So the innovation will be the use case, focus on that not the AI algos. It is very very difficult and you need diverse experience with a ton of luck. An real engineering background would also help.

20. amazing interview. thanks Lex

21. "Paint a fence"

    Thanks Lex! So many great interviews!

22. @14:56
    I would love to see that "70 20 10" prove

23. I liked almost everything he said except he seems not concerned about the dangers of AI. I find that there are a lot of good arguments to be afraid AI in the future and we have to think of a plan to handle it as soon as possible.

24. Part 2?

25. Incredibly insightful, extremely valuable and interesting interview Lex
