Tam Transkript: Joe Rogan Deneyimi #1169 - Elon Musk

Joe Rogan Deneyimi #1169 - Elon Musk

: Ah, ha, ha, ha. Dört, üç, iki, bir, bum. Teşekkür ederim. Bunu yaptığın için teşekkürler, dostum. Gerçekten minnettarım.

: You’re welcome.

: It’s very good to meet you.

: Ben de memnun oldum.

: Ve burayı ateşe vermediğin için teşekkürler.

: You’re welcome. That’s coming later.

: How does one, just in the middle of doing all the things you do, create cars, rockets, all the stuff you’re doing, constantly innovating, decide to just make a flamethrower? Where do you have the time for that?

: Well, the flame, we didn’t put a lot of time into the flamethrower. This was an off-the-cuff thing. It’s sort of a hobby company called the Boring Company, which started out as a joke, and we decided to make a real, and dig a tunnel under LA. And then, other people asked us to dig tunnels. And so, we said yes in a few cases.

: Şimdi, kim-

: And then, we have a merchandise section that only has one piece of merchandise at a time. And we started off with a cap. And there was only one thing on, which is BoringCompany.com/hat. That’s it. And then, we sold the hats, limited edition. It just said, “The Boring Company.”

: And then, I’m a big fan of Spaceballs, the movie. And in Spaceballs, Yogurt goes through the merchandising section, and they have a flamethrower in the merchandising section of Spaceballs. And, like, the kids love that one. That’s the line when he pulls up the flamethrower. It’s like, “We should do a flamethrower.” So, we-

: Does anybody tell you no? Does anybody go, “Elon, maybe for yourself, but selling a flamethrower, the liabilities, all the people you’re selling this device to, what kind of unhinged people are going to be buying a flamethrower in the first place? Do we really want to connect ourselves to all these potential arsonists?

: Yeah, it’s a terrible idea. It’s terrible. Don’t buy one. I said, “Don’t buy this flamethrower. Don’t buy it. Don’t buy it.” That’s what I said, but, still, people bought it.

: Evet.

: There’s nothing I can do to stop them. I did not stop them.

: Siz inşa edin, onlar gelecektir.

: I said, “Don’t buy it. It’s a bad idea.”

: Kaç tane yaptın?

: It’s dangerous. It’s wrong. Don’t buy it. And, still, people bought it. I just couldn’t stop them.

: Kaç tane yaptın?

: 20,000.

: And they’re all gone?

: Üç, sanırım dört gün içinde. Dört günde tükendi.

: Bir koşu daha yapacak mısın?

: Hayır.

: No, that’s it?

: Evet.

: Oh, anlıyorum.

: I said we’re doing 20. We did 50,000. 50,000 hats, and that was a million dollars. I thought, “Okay. Well, we’ll sell something for 10 million,” and that was 20,000 flamethrowers at $500 each. They went fast.

: Yeah. How do you have the time? How do you have the time to do that though? I mean, I understand that it’s not a big deal in terms of all the other things you do, but how do you have time to do anything? I just — I don’t understand your time management skills.

: I mean, I didn’t spend much time on this flamethrower. I mean, to be totally frank, it’s actually just a roofing torch with an air rifle cover. It’s not a real flamethrower.

: Which is why it says, “Not a flamethrower.”

: That’s why we were very clear, this is not actually a flamethrower. And, also, we are told that various countries would ban shipping of it, that they would ban flamethrowers. So, we’re very — To solve this problem for all of the customs agencies, we labeled it, “Not a flamethrower.”

: İşe yaradı mı? Etkili oldu mu?

: I don’t know. I think so. Yes.

: Şimdiye kadar.

: Evet.

: Şimdi, ama sen-

: Çünkü alev makinesi gönderemeyeceğinizi söylediler.

: Ama çok farklı şeyler yapıyorsun. Alev makinesini unut. Diğer şeyleri nasıl yapıyorsun? Mesela, LA trafiğini yere delikler açarak düzeltmeye nasıl karar verilir? Ve bununla kime yaklaşırsın? Aklınıza bir fikir geldiğinde bunu kiminle konuşursunuz?

: I mean, I’m not saying it’s going to be successful or something, you know. It’s not like asserting that it’s going to be successful. But so far, I’ve lived in LA for 16 years, and the traffic has always been terrible. And so, I don’t see any other, like, ideas for improving the traffic. So, in desperation, we’re going to dig a tunnel. And maybe that tunnel will be successful and maybe it won’t.

: I’m listening.

: Yeah. I’m not trying to convince you it’s going to work.

: Ve senin-

: Yani, ya da herhangi biri.

: But you are starting this though. This is actually a project you’re starting to implement, right.

: Yeah, yeah, no. We’ve dug about a mile. It’s quite long. It takes a long time to walk it.

: Yeah. Now, when you’re doing this, what is the ultimate plan? The ultimate plan is to have these in major cities, and anywhere there’s mass congestion, and just try it out in LA first?

: Yeah. It’s in LA because I mostly live in LA. That’s the reason. It’s a terrible place to dig tunnels. This is one of the worst places to dig tunnels mostly because of the paperwork. You all think it’s like, “What about seismic?” It’s like, actually, both tunnels are very safe in earthquakes.

: Nedenmiş o?

: Earthquakes are essentially a surface phenomenon. It’s like waves on the ocean. So, if there’s a storm, you want to be in a submarine. So, being in a tunnel is like being in a submarine. Now, the way the tunnel is constructed, it’s constructed out of these interlocking segments, kind of like a snake. It’s sort of like a snake exoskeleton with double seals.

: And so, even when the ground moves, the tunnel actually is able to shift along with the ground like an underground snake, and it doesn’t crack or break. And it’s extremely unlikely that both seals would be broken. And it’s capable of taking five atmospheres of pressure. It’s waterproof, methane-proof, well, gas-proof of any kind, and meets all California seismic requirements.

: Peki, bu fikir aklınıza geldiğinde, bunu kime götürüyorsunuz?

: I’m not sure what you mean by that.

: Well, you’re implementing it. So, you’re digging holes in the ground.

: Evet.

: Bunu yapmanıza izin veren birine götürmek zorundasınız.

: Yes. There are some engineers from SpaceX who thought it would be cool to do this. And the guy who runs it, like, day-to-day is Steve Davis. He’s a longtime SpaceX engineer. He is great. So, Steve was like, “I’d like to help make this happen.” I was like, “Cool.” So, we started off with digging a hole in the ground. It’s got like a permit for a pit, like pit, and just dug a big pit.

: And you have to tell them what the pit’s for, or you just said, “Hey, we just want to dig a hole.”

: Az önce bu formu doldurdum.

: That’s it?

: Evet, park alanımızda bir çukur vardı.

: Ama onlara nihai fikriniz için bir tür plan vermek zorunda mısınız? Ve bunu onaylamak zorundalar mı? Yani, bu nasıl oluyor?

: Şimdi. Sadece bir çukurla başladık.

: Tamam.

: A big pit. And, you know, it’s not really — You know, they don’t really care about the existential nature of a pit. You just say like, “I want a pit.”

: Doğru.

: Yeah. And it’s a hole in the ground. So then, we got the permit for the pit, and we dug the pit, and we dug it in, like, I don’t know, three days, two to three days. Actually, I think two, 48 hours, something like that because Eric Carr said he was coming by for the Hype. He’s going to attend the Hyperloop Competition. which is like a student competition we have for who can make the fastest part in the Hyperloop. And he was coming.

: The finals are going to be on Sunday afternoon. And so, Eric is coming by on Sunday afternoon. He’s like, “You know, we should dig this pit, and then like show Eric.” So, this was like Friday morning. And then, yeah. So, it’s about a little over 48 hours later, we dug the pit. There was like wind 24/7. Oh, 24. 48 straight hours, something like that. And dug this big pit, and we’re like, “Show Eric the pit.” It’s like, obviously, it’s just a pit. But, hey, a hole in the ground is better than no hole in the ground.

: Peki bu çukur hakkında ona ne söylediniz? Yani, az önce bunun bu fikrin başlangıcı olduğunu söylediniz.

: Evet.

: We’re going to build tunnels under LA to help funnel traffic better.

: Evet.

: And they just go, “Okay.” But we’ve joked around about this in the podcast before to like what if a person can go to the people that run the city and go, “Hey, I want to dig some holes on the ground and put some tunnels in there,” and they go “Oh, yeah, okay.”

: Yerde delik olan tek kişi ben değilim.

: But it’s a-

: İnsanlar her zaman toprağa çukur kazarlar.

: Ama benim sorum şu: Tesla fabrikanız için ne kadar zaman harcadığınızı biliyorum. SpaceX için ne kadar zaman harcadığınızı biliyorum. Ama yine de Los Angeles'ta yerin altında çukurlar kazmaya, bu fikirleri bulmaya ve sonra da uygulamaya zamanınız var. Mesela-

: Milyonlarca fikrim var.

: I’m sure you do.

: There’s no shortage of that. Yeah.

: I just don’t know how you manage your time. I don’t understand it. It doesn’t seem — It doesn’t even seem humanly possible.

: You know, I do, basically — I think, people, like, don’t totally understand what I do with my time. They think, like, I’m a business guy or something like that. Like my Wikipedia page says business magnate.

: Sen kendine ne derdin?

: Bir iş mıknatısı. Birisi lütfen Vikipedi sayfamı mıknatıs olarak değiştirebilir mi?

: They’ll change it for you.

: Lütfen değiştirin.

: Right now, it’s probably already changed.

: It’s locked. So, somebody has to be able to unlock it and change it to magnet.

: Birileri bunu anlayacaktır.

: I want to be a magnet. No, I do engineering, you know, and manufacturing, and that kind of thing. That’s like 80% or more of my time.

: Fikirler ve ardından bu fikirlerin uygulanması.

: Bunlar sert mühendislik gibi-

: Evet.

: ... bir şeyler tasarlamak, bilirsiniz.

: Doğru.

: It’s structural, mechanical, electrical, software, user interface, engineering, aerospace engineering.

: But you must understand there’s not a whole lot of human beings like you. You know that, right? You’re an oddity-

: Evet.

: ...benim gibi şempanzeler için.

: We’re all chimps.

: Evet, öyle.

: We’re one notch. One notch above a chimp.

: Some of us are a little more confused. When I watch you doing all these things, I’m like, “How does this motherfucker have all this time, and all this energy, and all these ideas, and then people just let him do these things?”

: Because I’m an alien.

: That’s what I’ve speculated.

: Evet.

: Then, I’m on record saying this in the past. I wonder.

: It’s true.

: I mean, if there was one? I was like, “If there was, like, maybe an intelligent being that we created, you know, like some AI creature that’s superior to people, maybe it’s just hanging around with us for a little while like you’ve been doing, and then fix a bunch of shit.” I mean, that’s the way.

: Mutasyon gibi bir şey geçirmiş olabilirim.

: Olabilir. Öyle mi düşünüyorsun?

: Muhtemelen.

: Do you wonder? Like, around normal people, you’re like, “Hmm.” Think, “What’s up with these boring dumb motherfuckers?” ever?

: Bir insan için fena değil, ama sanırım yapay zekanın eline su dökemeyeceğim.

: Sam Harris ile aranızdaki yapay zekâdan bahsederken ödümü kopardınız.

: Elbette.

: I didn’t consider it until I had a podcast with Sam once.

: That’s great.

: And he made me shit my pants. Talking about AI, I realized, like, “Oh, this is a genie that once it’s out of the bottle, you’re never getting it back in.”

: Bu doğru.

: Boston dinamik robotlarından biri hakkında tweetlediğiniz bir video vardı.

: Evet.

: And you’re like, “In the future, it will be moving so fast, you can’t see it without a strobe light.”

: Evet. Muhtemelen bunu şu anda yapabilirsin.

: And no one’s really paying attention too much other than people like you, or people that are really obsessed with technology, all these things are happening. And these robots are — Do you see the one where PETA put out a statement that you shouldn’t kick robots?

: It’s probably not wise.

: İntikam için.

: Hafızaları çok iyidir.

: I bet it’s really good.

: It’s really good.

: Eminim öyledir.

: Evet.

: Ve her geçen gün daha iyiye gidiyor.

: It’s really good.

: Bu konuda gerçekten meşru bir endişeniz var mı? Gelecekle ilgili ana endişelerinizden biri yapay zeka mı?

: Yes. It’s less of a worry than it used to be, mostly due to taking more of a fatalistic attitude.

: So, you used to have more hope, and you gave up some of it. And, now, you don’t worry as much about AI. You’re like, “This is just what it is.”

: Hemen hemen. Evet, evet, evet.

: Öyle değil miydi? Evet ama hayır.

: It’s not necessarily bad. It’s just it’s definitely going to be outside of human control.

: Kötü olması gerekmiyor, değil mi?

: Yes. It’s not necessarily bad. It’s just outside of human control. Now, the thing that’s going to be tricky here is that it’s going to be very tempting to use AI as a weapon. It’s going to be very tempting. In fact, it will be used as a weapon. So, the on ramp to serious AI, the danger is going to be more humans using it against each other, I think, most likely. That will be the danger. Yeah.

: How far do you think we are from something that can make its own mind up whether or not something’s ethically or morally correct, or whether or not it wants to do something, or whether or not it wants to improve itself, or whether or not it wants to protect itself from people or from other AI? How far away are we from something that’s really truly sentient?

: Well, I mean, you could argue that any group of people, like a company is essentially a cybernetic collective of people and machines. That’s what a company is. And then, there are different levels of complexity in the way these companies are formed. And then, there’s a sort of like a collective AI in the Google, sort of, Search, Google Search, you know, where we’re all sort of plugged in as like nodes on the network, like leaves on a big tree.

: And we’re all feeding this network with our questions and answers. We’re all collectively programming the AI. And Google Plus, all the humans that connect to it, are one giant cybernetic collective. This is also true of Facebook, and Twitter, and Instagram, and all the social networks. They’re giant cybernetic collectives.

: İnsanlar ve elektronik cihazların hepsi birbiriyle etkileşim halinde ve sürekli şimdi, sürekli bağlı.

: Evet, sürekli.

: One of the things that I’ve been thinking about a lot over the last few years is that one of the things that drives a lot of people crazy is how many people are obsessed with materialism and getting the latest greatest thing. And I wonder how much of that is — Well, a lot of it is most certainly fueling technology and innovation. And it almost seems like it’s built into us. It’s like what we like and what we want that we’re fueling this thing that’s constantly around us all the time.

: And it doesn’t seem possible that people are going to pump the brakes. It doesn’t seem possible at this stage where we’re constantly expecting the newest cellphone, the latest Tesla update, the newest MacBook Pro. Everything has to be newer and better. And that’s going to lead to some incredible point. And it seems like it’s built into us. It almost seems like it’s an instinct that we’re working towards this, that we like it. Our job, just like the ants build the anthill, our job is to somehow know how fuel this.

: Yes. I mean, I made this comment some years ago, but it feels like we are the biological bootloader for AI. Effectively, we are building it. And then, we’re building progressively greater intelligence. And the percentage of intelligence that is not human is increasing. And, eventually, we will represent a very small percentage of intelligence. But the AI is informed strangely by the human limbic system. It is, in large part, our id writ large.

: Nasıl yani?

: We mentioned all those things, the sort of primal drives. There’s all of the things that we like, and hate, and fear. They’re all there on the internet. They’re a projection of our limbic system. That’s true.

: No, it makes sense. And the thinking of it as a — I mean, thinking of corporations, and just thinking of just human beings communicating online through these social media networks in some sort of an organism that’s a — It’s a cyborg. It’s a combination. It’s a combination of electronics and biology.

: Yeah. This is — In some measure, like, it’s to the success of these online systems. It’s sort of a function of how much limbic resonance they’re able to achieve with people. The more limbic resonance, the more engagement.

: Oysa muhtemelen Instagram'ın Twitter'dan daha cazip olmasının nedenlerinden biri de budur.

: Limbik rezonans.

: Evet. Daha fazla görüntü, daha fazla video elde edersiniz.

: Evet.

: It’s tweaking your system more.

: Evet.

: Do you worry or wonder, in fact, of what the next step is? I mean, a lot of you didn’t see Twitter coming. You know, communicate with 140 characters or 280 now would be a thing that people would be interested in. Like it’s going to excel. It’s going to become more connected to us, right?

: Yes. Things are getting more and more connected. They’re, at this point, constrained by bandwidth. Our input/output is slow, particularly output. Output got worse with thumbs. You know, we used to have input with 10 fingers. Now, we have thumbs. But images are just, also, other way of communicating at high bandwidth. You take pictures and you send pictures to people. What sends, that communicates far more information than you can communicate with your thumb.

: Peki, ne oldu da karar verdiniz ya da daha kaderci bir tutum takındınız? Belirli bir şey var mıydı, yoksa sadece geleceğimizin kaçınılmazlığı mıydı?

: I try to convince people to slow down. Slow down AI to regulate AI. That’s what’s futile. I tried for years, and nobody listened.

: Bu sanki bir film sahnesi gibi-

: Kimse dinlemedi.

: … where the the robots are going to fucking takeover. You’re freaking me out. Nobody listened?

: Kimse dinlemedi.

: No one. Are people more inclined to listen today? It seems like an issue that’s brought up more often over the last few years than it was maybe 5-10 years ago. It seemed like science fiction.

: Maybe they will. So far, they haven’t. I think, people don’t — Like, normally, the way that regulations work is very slow. it’s very slow indeed. So, usually, it will be something, some new technology. It will cause damage or death. There will be an outcry. There will be an investigation. Years will pass. There will be some sort of insights committee. There will be rule making. Then, there will be oversight, absolutely, of regulations. This all takes many years. This is the normal course of things.

: If you look at, say, automotive regulations, how long did it take for seatbelts to be implemented, to be required? You know, the auto industry fought seatbelts, I think, for more than a decade. It successfully fought any regulations on seatbelts even though the numbers were extremely obvious. If you had seatbelts on, you would be far less likely to die or be seriously injured. It was unequivocal. And the industry fought this for years successfully. Eventually, after many, many people died, regulators insisted on seatbelts. This is a — This time frame is not relevant to AI. You can’t take 10 years from a point of which it’s dangerous. It’s too late.

: And you feel like this is decades away or years away from being too late. If you have this fatalistic attitude, and you feel like it’s going — We’re in an almost like a doomsday countdown.

: It’s not necessarily a doomsday countdown. It’s a-

: Kontrolden çıkmış geri sayım mı?

: Out of control, yeah. People quote the singularity, and that’s probably a good way to think about it. It’s a singularity. It’s hard to predict like a black hole, what happens past the event horizon.

: Right. So, once it’s implemented, it’s very difficult because it would be able to-

: Once the genie is out of the bottle, what’s going to happen?

: Doğru. Ve kendini geliştirebilecektir.

: Evet.

: That’s where it gets spooky, right? The idea that it can do thousands of years of innovation very, very quickly.

: Evet.

: Ve sonra, bu sadece gülünç olacak.

: Çok saçma.

: We will be like this ridiculous biological shitting, pissing thing trying to stop the gods. “No, stop. We’re like living with a finite lifespan, and watching, you know, Norman Rockwell paintings.”

: It could be terrible, and it could be great. It’s not clear.

: Doğru.

: Ancak kesin olan bir şey var ki, onu kontrol edemeyeceğiz.

: Do you think that it’s likely that we will merge somehow or another with this sort of technology, and it’ll augment what we are now, or do you think it will replace us?

: Well, that’s the scenario. The merge scenario with AI is the one that seems like probably the best. Like if-

: Bizim için mi?

: Yes. Like if you can’t beat it, join it. That’s-

: Evet, evet.

: You know. So, from a long-term existential standpoint, that’s like the purpose of Neuralink is to create a high bandwidth interface to the brain such that we can be symbiotic with AI because we have a bandwidth problem. You just can’t communicate through fingers. It’s too slow.

: And where’s Neuralink at right now?

: I think. we’ll have something interesting to announce in a few months. That’s, at least, an order of magnitude better than anything else. I think better than, probably, anyone thinks is possible.

: Şu anda bunun hakkında ne kadar konuşabilirsiniz?

: I don’t want to jump the gun on that.

: But what’s like the ultimate? What’s the idea behind that? Like, what are you trying to accomplish with it? What would you like best case scenario?

: I think, best case scenario, we effectively merge with AI where AI serves as a tertiary cognition layer, where we’ve got the limbic system. Kind of the, you know, primitive brain essentially. You got the cortex. So, you’re currently in a symbiotic relationship. Your cortex and limbic system are in a symbiotic relationship. And, generally, people like their cortex, and they like their limbic system. I haven’t met anyone who wants to delete their limbic system or delete their cortex. Everybody seems to like both.

: And the cortex is mostly in service to the limbic system. People may think that the thinking part of themselves is in charge, but it’s mostly their limbic system that’s in charge. And the cortex is trying to make the limbic system happy. That’s what most of that computing power is. It’s launched towards, “How can I make the limbic system happy?” That’s what it’s trying to do.

: Now, if we do have a third layer, which is the AI extension of yourself, that is also symbiotic. And there’s enough bandwidth between the cortex and the AI extension of yourself, such that the AI doesn’t de facto separate. Then, that could be a good outcome. That could be quite a positive outcome for the future.

: Yani, bizi değiştirmek yerine, yeteneklerimizi kökten değiştirecek mi?

: Yes. It will enable anyone who wants to have super human cognition, anyone who wants. This is not a matter of earning power because your earning power would be vastly greater after you do it. So, it’s just like anyone who wants can just do it in theory. That’s the theory. And if that’s the case then, and let’s say billions of people do it, then the outcome for humanity will be the sum of human will, the sum of billions of people’s desire for the future.

: Milyarlarca insanın gelişmiş bilişsel yeteneklere sahip olduğunu mu?

: Evet.

: Radikal olarak geliştirilmiş mi?

: Evet.

: And which would be — It — But how much different than people today? Like if you had to explain it to a person who didn’t really understand what you’re saying, like how much different are you talking about? When you say radically improved, like, what do you mean? You mean mind reading?

: It will be difficult to really appreciate the difference. It’s kind of like how much smarter are you with a phone or computer than without? You’re vastly smarter actually. You know, you can answer any question. If you connect to the internet, you can answer any question pretty much instantly, any calculation, that your phone’s memory is essentially perfect. You can remember flawlessly. Your phone can remember videos, pictures, everything perfectly. That’s the-

: Your phone is already an extension of you. You’re already a cyborg. You don’t even — What most people don’t realize, they are already a cyborg. That phone is an extension of yourself. It’s just that the data rate, the rate at which — The communication rate between you and the cybernetic extension of yourself, that is your phone and computer, is slow. It’s very slow.

: And that is like a tiny straw of information flow between your biological self and your digital self. And we need to make that tiny straw like a giant river. A huge high band with the interface. It’s an interface problem, data rate problem. It’s all the data rate problem that I think we can hang on to human machine symbiosis through the long term. And then, people may decide that they want to retain their biological self or not. I think they’ll probably choose to retain the biological self.

: Kendilerini bir bilgisayara yükledikleri bir tür Ray Kurzweil senaryosuna karşı mı?

: Esasen her an bir bilgisayarın anlık görüntüsüne sahip olacaksınız. Biyolojik benliğiniz ölürse, muhtemelen onu kelimenin tam anlamıyla yeni bir birime yükleyebilirsiniz.

: Pass that whiskey. We’re getting crazy over here. This is getting ridiculous.

: Tavşan deliğinden aşağı.

: Yakala şunu. Bana biraz ver. Bu çok ürkütücü. Bak, eğer sadece konuşuyor olsaydım-

: I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, by the way.

: Size inanıyorum. Eğer biriyle konuşuyor olsaydım - Şerefe, bu arada.

: Şerefe. Harika bir viskidir.

: Thank you. I don’t know where this came. Who brought this to us?

: I’m trying to remember. I can’t-

: Biri bize verdi. Eski Kamp. Her kimse-

: It’s good.

: ... teşekkürler.

: It’s good.

: Yeah, it is good. This is just inevitable. Again, going back to when you decided to have this fatalistic viewpoint. So, you weren’t — You tried to warn people. You talked about this pretty extensively. I’ve read several görüşmeler where you talked about this. And then, you just sort of just said, “Okay, it just is. Let’s just-” And, in a way, by communicating the potential for — I mean, for sure, you’re getting the warning out to some people.

: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was really going on the warning quite a lot. I was warning everyone I could. Yeah, I’ve met with Obama and just for one reason, like, “Better watch out.”

: Sadece yapay zeka hakkında konuşun.

: Evet.

: Peki o ne dedi? Peki ya Hillary? Önce onun için endişelen. Herkes sessiz olsun.

: Dinledi. Kesinlikle dinledi. Kongre ile görüştüm. Bir araya geldim - 50 valinin katıldığı bir toplantıdaydım ve sadece yapay zeka tehlikesi hakkında konuştum. Ve konuşabildiğim herkesle konuştum. Kimse bunun nereye gittiğinin farkında değil gibiydi.

: Is it that, or do they just assume that someone smarter than them is already taking care of it? Because when people hear about something like AI, it’s almost abstract. It’s almost like it’s so hard to wrap your head around it.

: Öyle.

: Bu gerçekleştiğinde çok mu geç olacak?

: Yeah. I think, they didn’t quite understand it, or didn’t think it was near term, or not sure what to do about it. And I said, like, you know, an obvious thing to do is to just establish a committee, government committee, to gain insight. You know, before you oversight, before you do make regulations, you should like try to understand what’s going on. And then, you have an insight committee. Then, once they learn what’s going on, you get up to speed. Then, they can make maybe some rules or proposed some rules. And that would be probably a safer way to go about things.

: It seems — I mean, I know that it’s probably something that the government’s supposed to handle, but it seems like I wouldn’t want the — I don’t want the government to handle this.

: Bunu kimin halletmesini istiyorsun?

: Bunu senin halletmeni istiyorum.

: Oh, Tanrım.

: Yeah. I feel like you’re the one who could bring the bell better because if Mike Pence starts talking about AI, I’m like, “Shut up, bitch. You don’t know anything about AI. Come on, man. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” That’s just games.

: I don’t have the power to regulate other companies. I don’t if I’m supposed to, but you know.

: Right, but maybe companies could agree. Maybe there could be some sort of a — What I mean is we have agreements where you’re not supposed to dump toxic waste into the ocean, you’re not supposed to do certain things that could be terribly damaging, even though they would be profitable. Maybe this is one of those things.

: Maybe we should realize that you can’t hit the switch on something that’s going to be able to think for itself and make up its own mind as to whether or not it wants to survive or not, and whether or not it thinks you’re a threat, or whether or not it thinks you’re useless. Like, “Why do I keep this dumb finite life form alive? Why? Why keep this thing around? It’s just stupid. It just keeps polluting everything. It’s shitting everywhere it goes, lighting everything on fire, and shooting at each other. Why would I keep this stupid thing alive? Because, sometimes, it makes good music, you know. Sometimes it makes great movies. Sometimes it makes beautiful art, and sometimes — you know. Sometimes it’s cool to hang out with. Like with my-

: Evet, tüm bu nedenlerden dolayı.

: Evet. Bizim için bunlar harika nedenler.

: Evet.

: But for anything objective standing outside that go, “This is definitely a flawed system.” This is like if you went to the jungle and you watch these chimps engage in warfare and beat each other with wooden sticks.

: Şempanzeler gerçekten kötüdür.

: They’re fucking real mean.

: They’re fucking mean.

: They’re real mean.

: Şempanze diye bir film izledim. Disney gibi bir şey olacağını düşünmüştüm. Vay canına.

: Hangi filmdi o?

: It’s called Chimpanzee.

: Bu bir belgesel mi?

: Yeah, yeah. It’s kind of like a documentary. I was like, “Damn, these chimps are mean.”

: They’re mean.

: Evet.

: Evet.

: They’re cruel.

: Yeah. They’re calculated. Yeah.

: Evet.

: Birbirlerine gizlice yaklaşıyorlar ve-

: Like, I didn’t realize chimps did calculated cruelty.

: Evet.

: I was pretty — I left that meeting kinda like, “This is dark.”

: Right. Well, we know better because we’ve advanced. But if we hadn’t, we’d be like, “Man, I don’t want to fucking live in a house. I like the chimp ways, bro. Chimp ways to go. This is it, man, chimp life. You know, we got-

: Basit şempanze hayatı.

: Chimp life right now. But we, in a way, to the AI, might be like those chimps and like, “These stupid fucks launching missiles out of drones, and shooting each other underwater.” Like we’re crazy. We got torpedoes, and submarines, and fucking airplanes that drop nuclear bombs indiscriminately on cities. We’re assholes.

: Evet.

: They might go, “Why are they doing this?” It might, like, look at our politics, look at what we do in terms of our food system, what kind of food we force down each other’s throats. And they might go, “These people are crazy. They don’t even look after themselves.”

: I don’t know. I mean, how much do we think about chimps? Not much.

: Çok az.

: It’s like-

: It’s true.

: … these chimps are at war. This like look — It’s like groups of chimps just attack each other, and they kill each other. They torture each other. That’s pretty bad. They hunt monkeys. They’re — Like this is probably the most, but, you know. I mean, when was the last time you watched chimps?

: Ben mi?

: Evet.

: Her zaman.

: Senin var.

: You’re talking to the wrong guy.

: Tamam. Maalesef, evet.

: This fucking podcast, dude, we’re talking about chimps every episode.

: It’s chimp city? Okay.

: People are laughing right now. Yeah, constantly. I’m obsessed.

: Tamam.

: David Attenborough'nun şempanzelerle ilgili belgeselini izlemiştim, orada kolobus maymunlarını yiyorlardı ve onları parçalıyorlardı.

: Evet, bu zordu.

: Bunu yıllar önce görmüştüm.

: It’s gruesome.

: Bu sadece nasıl-

: Korkunç.

: I go, “Oh, this is why people are so crazy. We came from that thing.”

: Evet, aynen öyle.

: Evet.

: Bu colobus.

: Evet.

: Daha iyi bir felsefeleri var.

: Yeah, they’re like swingers.

: Evet.

: Evet, gerçekten öyleler. Bizden çok daha medeni görünüyorlar.

: Her şeyi seksle çözüyor gibi görünüyorlar.

: Yeah. The only rules they have is the mom won’t bang the son. That’s it.

: Tamam.

: That’s it. Mom won’t bang her sons. They’re good women.

: Evet.

: Bonobo topluluğundaki iyi kadınlar. Geriye kalan herkes işi pişiriyor.

: Yeah. I haven’t seen the Bonobo Movie.

: Well, they’re disturbing just at a zoo of bonobos at the zoo.

: They’re just constantly going.

: Constantly fucking, yeah. It’s all they do.

: It’s just one stuff.

: Yeah. And they don’t care, gay, straight, whatever. Let’s just fuck. What’s with these labels?

: I haven’t seen bonobos at a zoo. I just probably like-

: I don’t think I have either.

: Ve PJ bölümünde değil.

: Yeah, I don’t think they have them at many zoos. We’ve looked at it before too, didn’t we?

: It’s probably pretty awkward.

: Yeah. I think that’s the thing. They don’t like to keep regular chimps at zoos because bonobos are just always jacking off and-

: Evet.

: Lanet olsun.

: San Diego'da.

: What’s that? They have in San Diego?

: San Diego’s got some, yeah.

: Gerçekten mi? İlginç.

: Evet.

: Muhtemelen onları ayırırız. Evet.

: Yani, bir kafeste kaç tane var, biliyor musun? Ben-

: Doğru.

: … “It’s going to be pretty intense.”

: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we’re a weird thing, you know. And I’ve often wondered whether or not we’re — you know, our ultimate goal is to give birth to some new thing. And that’s why we’re so obsessed with technology because it’s not like this technology is really — I mean, it’s certainly enhancing our lives too in a certain way, but, I mean, ultimately, is it making people happier right now? Most technology I would say no. In fact, you and I were talking about social media before this about just not having Instagram on your phone, and not dealing, and you feel better.

: Yes. I think, one of the issues with social media, it’s been pointed out by many people, is that, I think, maybe particularly Instagram people look like they have a much better life than they really do.

: Doğru.

: Yani-

: Tasarım gereği.

: Yeah. People are posting pictures of when they’re really happy. They’re modifying those pictures to be better looking. Even if they’re not modifying the pictures, they’re, at least, selecting the pictures for the best lighting, the best angle. So, people basically seem they are way better looking than they basically really are.

: Doğru.

: And they’re way happier seeming than they really are. So, if you look at everyone on Instagram, you might think, “Man, there are all these happy beautiful people, and I’m not that good looking, and I am not happy. So, I must suck,” you know. And that’s going to make you feel sad; when, in fact, those people you think are super happy, actually, not that happy. Some of them are really depressed. They’re very sad. Some of the happiest-seeming people are actually some of the saddest people in reality. And nobody looks good all the time. It doesn’t matter who you are.

: No. It’s not even something you should want.

: Evet.

: Neden her zaman harika görünmek istiyorsunuz?

: Yeah, exactly. So, I think things like that can make people quite sad just by comparison because you’re sort of — People generally think of themselves relative to others. It’s like we are constantly re-baselining our expectations. And you can see to say if you watch some show like Naked and Afraid, or, you know, if you just go and try living in the woods by yourself for a while, and you’re like, “The land that civilization is quite great.” People want to come back to civilization pretty fast on Naked or Afraid.

: Wasn’t there a Theodore quote, that “Comparison is the thief of joy.”

: Evet. Mutluluk, beklentilerden arındırılmış gerçekliktir.

: That’s great too, but the comparison is the thief of joy really holds true to people. Is it?

: Theodore Roosevelt.

: Roosevelt, fascinating. And when you’re thinking about Instagram, because what essentially Instagram is for a lot of people is you’re giving them the opportunity to be their own PR agent, and they always go towards the glamorous, you know. And when anybody does show, you know, #nofilter, they really do do that. “Oh, you’re so brave. Look at you, no makeup,” you know, which they look good anyway.

: “You look great. What are you doing? Oh my God. You don’t have makeup on. You still look hot as fuck. You know what you’re doing. I know what you’re doing too.” They’re letting you know. And then, they’re feeding off that comment section. Sort of sitting there like it’s a fresh stream of love. Like you’re getting right up to the sources as it comes out of the earth, and you’re sucking that sweet, sweet love water.

: Bir sürü emoji, dumanlı emojiler.

: Evet.

: Bir sürü emoji.

: My concern is not so much what Instagram is. It’s that I didn’t think that people had the need for this or the expectation for some sort of technology that allows them to constantly get love and adulation from strangers, and comments, and this ability to project this sort of distorted version of who you really are.

: But I worry about where it goes. Like what’s the next one? What’s the next one? Like, where’s is it? Is it going to be augmented to some sort of a weird augmented or virtual sort of Instagram type situation where you’re not going to want to live in this real world, you’re going to want to interface with this sort of world that you’ve created through your social media page and some next level thing.

: Evet. Git simülasyonda yaşa.

: Evet, dostum.

: Simülasyonda.

: Some ready player one type shit that’s real. That seems — we have that HTC vibe here. I’ve only done it a couple times quite honestly because it kind of freaks me out.

: Elbette.

: My kids fucking love it, man. They love it. They love playing these weirdo games and walking around that headset on. But part of me watching them do it goes, “Wow, I wonder if this is like the precursor.” Just sort of like if you look at that phone that Gordon Gekko had on the beach and you compare that-

: Evet, büyük cep telefonu.

: Evet, bunu Galaxy Note 9 ile eşleştirebilirsiniz.

: Elbette.

: Like how the fuck did that become that, right? And I wonder when I see this HTC Vibe, I’m like, “What is that thing going to be 10 years from now when we’re making fun of what it is now?” I mean, how ingrained, and how connected and interconnected is this technology going to be in our life?

: Bir noktada gerçeklikten ayırt edilemez hale gelecektir.

: We will lose this. We’ll lose this. Like you and I are just looking at each other through our eyes.

: Öyle miyiz?

: Ben seni görüyorum. Beni görüyorsun, sanırım, umarım.

: Öyle mi düşünüyorsun?

: Sanırım senin gözlerin normal.

: Bu bir simülasyon olabilir.

: Olabilir. Buna inanıyor musun?

: Well, the argument for the simulation, I think, is quite strong because if you assume any improvements at all over time, any improvement, 1%, 0.1%, just extend the time frame, make it a thousand years, a million years. The universe is 13.8 billion years old. Civilization, if you count it, if you’re very generous, civilization is maybe 7000 or 8000 years old if you count it from the first writing. This is nothing. This is nothing.

: Dolayısıyla, herhangi bir gelişme oranı varsayarsanız, oyunlar gerçeklikten ayırt edilemez hale gelecek ya da medeniyet sona erecektir. Bu iki şeyden biri gerçekleşecektir. Bu nedenle, büyük olasılıkla bir simülasyonun içindeyiz.

: Or we’re on our way to one, right?

: Çünkü biz varız.

: Sadece var olduğumuz için değil.

: Aynen öyle.

: We could most certainly be on the road. We could be on the road to that, right. it doesn’t mean that it has to have already happened.

: Temel gerçeklikte olabilir. Temel gerçeklikte olabilir.

: We could be here now on our way to the road or on our way to the destination where this can never happen again, where we are completely ingrained in some sort of an artificial technology or some sort of a symbiotic relationship with the internet or the next level of sharing information. But, right now, we’re not there yet. That’s possible too, right? It’s possible that a simulation is, one day, going to be inevitable, that we’re going to have something that’s indistinguishable from regular reality, but maybe we’re not there yet. That’s also possible.

: Evet, öyle.

: Though we’re not quite there yet. This is real. You want to touch that wood?

: Çok gerçekçi hissettiriyor.

: Maybe that’s why everybody is like into like mason jars and shit.

: Mason kavanozları.

: Süet ayakkabılar. El sanatları restoranlarını seven insanlar ve ham ahşap istiyorlar. Herkes metal insanları istiyor. İnsanlar garip bir kulübe tipi nostaljiye özlem duyuyor gibi görünüyor.

: Tabii, gerçeklik.

: Evet, tutunmak gibi. Tutunmak gibi.

: Elbette.

: Dragging their nails through the man like, “Don’t take me yet.”

: Evet.

: “I want to-“

: But then, people go get a mason jar with a wine stem or a handle. That’s dark.

: Bu beni-

: İnsanlığa olan inancımı kaybetmeme neden oluyor.

: Mason kavanoz, şarap sapı ve kulp, bunlardan var mı?

: Evet.

: The sturdy people. That’s just assholes. That’s like people make pet rocks.

: Sert.

: Doğru. Bazı insanlar sadece pisliktir. Bizim cömert doğamızdan faydalanırlar.

: Şarap sapı ile yapılmıştır. Saplı olarak yapılmıştır.

: Bu şekilde mi yapmışlar?

: Yes. They’re manufactured like that.

: Yani, tek bir yol var, onu kavanoza kaynaklamışlar. Hay sikeyim.

: Ama yapıştırılmış gibi bir şey olsaydı bu iyi olurdu.

: Doğru. Orada-

: Ama bu şekilde yapıldı.

: Çöp boku gibi. Oh, bu iğrenç. Şuna baksana. Tam şurada.

: Yes, it’s pretty harsh. Yup.

: This is terrible. Yeah. That’s like fake breasts that are designed to be hard. Like fake breasts from the ’60s. It’s like if you really long for the ones with ripples, here we go. Yeah. That’s almost what that is.

: Evet.

: What are you going to do, man? There’s nothing, you know. There’s nothing you can do to stop certain terrible ideas from propagating.

: Yeah. Anyway, I don’t want to sound like things are too dark because I think like you kind of have to be optimistic about the future. There’s no point in being pessimistic. It’s just too negative because it is-

: It doesn’t help.

: It doesn’t help, you know. I think you want to be — I mean, my theory is like you’d rather be optimistic. I think, I’d rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right.

: Doğru.

: At least, we’re on that side.

: Doğru, evet.

: Because if you’re pessimistic, it’s going to be miserable.

: Yeah. Yeah, nobody wants to be around you anyway if it’s the end of the world. You’re like, “I fucking told you, bro.”

: Evet, aynen öyle.

: Dünyanın sonu geliyor. Evet, öyle. Herkes için öyle.

: Ben üzerime düşeni yaptım.

: Yani-

: Yolculuğun tadını çıkarın.

: Right. If you really want to get morose, I mean, it is what it is for all of us anyway. We’re all going to go, unless something changes.

: Evet.

: I mean, ultimately, you know, even if we just sort of existed as humans forever, we’d still eventually would be like the heat death of the universe-

: Bundan milyonlarca yıl sonra.

: Doğru, güneşi geçsek bile.

: Evet.

: Eğer güneşin enerjisinin tükenmesini aşmanın bir yolunu bulursak.

: Eventually, it’s going to end. It’s just a question of when.

: Doğru.

: Yani, her şey gerçekten yolculukla ilgili.

: Or transcendence from whatever we are now into something that doesn’t worry about death.

: Bildiğimiz şekliyle evren, eninde sonunda soğuk bir hiçliğin ince sisi içinde dağılıp gidecektir.

: And then, someone’s going to bottle it and put a fragrance to it, sell it to French people in another dimension.

: It’s just a very long time.

: Evet.

: So, I think it’s really just about, how can we make it last longer?

: Are you a proponent of the multi-universe’s theory? Do you believe that there are many, many universes, and that even if this one fades out that there’s other ones that are starting fresh right now, and there’s an infinite number of them, and they’re just constantly in a never-ending cycle of birth and death?

: Bence büyük ihtimalle. Bu sadece olasılıkla ilgili. Çok ama çok sayıda simülasyon var. Bu simülasyonlara gerçeklik de diyebiliriz, ya da çoklu evren de diyebiliriz.

: Bu simülasyonların birileri tarafından üretildiğine inanıyorsunuz-

: They’re running on the substrate.

: Yani-

: Bu alt tabaka muhtemelen sıkıcıdır.

: Sıkıcı mı?

: Mmhmm.

: Nasıl yani?

: Well, when we create a simulation like a game or a movie, it’s the distillation of what’s interesting about life. You know, it takes a year to shoot an action movie. And then, that’s all to slow down into two or three hours. So, let me tell you, if you’ve seen an action movie being filmed, it’s freaking — It’s boring. It’s super boring. It takes — There’s like lots of takes. Everything’s in a green screen. It looks pretty goofy. It doesn’t look cool. But once you had the CGI, and have great editing, it’s amazing.

: So, I think, most likely, if we’re a simulation, it’s really boring outside the simulation because why would you make simulation as boring? You’d make simulation way more interesting than base reality.

: Eğer şu anki durum bir simülasyonsa.

: Evet.

: And, ultimately, inevitably, as long as we don’t die or get hit by a meteor, we’re going to create some sort of simulation if we continue on the same technological path we’re on right now.

: Evet.

: Ama henüz oraya varmamış olabiliriz. Yani burada bir simülasyon olmayabilir. Ama büyük olasılıkla başka yerlerde hissediyorsunuz.

: Bu yer kavramı ya da nerede-

: Kusurlu mu?

: Evet.

: Kusurlu algı.

: Like that if you have that, sort of, that vibe you have, which is for the — that’s was made by valve, and it’s really valve that made it. HTC did the hardware, but it’s really a valve thing.

: Half-life'ın yapımcıları.

: Evet. Harika bir şirket.

: Harika bir şirket.

: When you’re in that virtual reality, which is only going to get better, where are you? Where are you really?

: Doğru.

: You aren’t anywhere.

: Şey, oysa-

: You’re in the computer.

: Bulunduğunuz yeri ne tanımlar biliyor musunuz?

: Aynen öyle.

: Doğru.

: It’s your perception.

: Is it your perceptions or is it, you know, a scale that we have under your butt. You’re right here. I’ve measured you. You’re the same weight as you were when you left. But meanwhile, your experience is probably different-

: Why do you think you’re where you are right now? You might not be.

: I’ll buck up a joint if you keep talking. Your man is just going to come in here. We might have to lock the door.

: Right now, you think you’re in a studio in LA.

: That’s what I heard.

: Bir bilgisayarın içinde olabilirsin.

: Man, I think about this all the time. Yeah, I mean, it’s unquestionable that one day that will be the case, as long as we keep going, as long as nothing interrupts us, and if we start from scratch, and, you know, we’re single-celled organisms all over again. And then, millions and millions of years later, we become the next thing that is us with creativity and the ability to change this environment. It’s going to keep monkeying with things until it figures out a way to change reality. To change — I mean, almost like punch a hole through what is this thing into what what it wants it to be and create new things. And then, those new things will intersect with other people’s new things, and there will be this ultimate pathway of infinite ideas and expression all through technology.

: Evet.

: And then, we’re going to wonder like, “Why are we here? What are we doing?”

: Let’s find out.

: Şey-

: Demek istediğim, geleceği daha iyi hale getirme olasılığı en yüksek olan eylemleri, bir dizi eylemi gerçekleştirmemiz gerektiğini düşünüyorum.

: Evet, doğru.

: Evet.

: Right. Right. And then, we evaluate those actions to make sure that it’s true.

: Well, I think there’s a movement to that. I mean, in terms of like a social movement. I think some of it’s misguided, and some of it’s exaggerated, and there’s a lot of people that are fighting for their side out there. But it seems like the general trend of, like, social awareness seems to be much more heightened now than has ever been in any other time in history because of our ability to express ourselves instantaneously to each other through Facebook, or Twitter, or what have you. And that the trend is to abandon preconceived notions, abandon prejudice, abandon discrimination, and promote kindness and happiness as much as possible. Looking at this knife? Somebody gave it to me. Sorry.

: Evet. Ne oldu?

: Fuck you. My friend, Donnie, brought this with him, and it just stayed here. I have a real samurai sword, if you want to play with that. I know you’re into weapons. That’s from the 1500s. Samurai’s something on the table.

: Güzel.

: Evet.

: Bu harika.

: I’ll grab it. Hold on. Yeah, that’s legit samurai sword from an actual samurai from the 1500s. If you pull out that blade, that blade was made the old way where a master craftsman-

: Katlanmış metal mi?

: Folded that metal and hammered it down over and over again over a long period of time, and honed that blade into what it is now. What’s crazy is that more than 500 years later, that thing is still pristine. I mean, whoever took care of that and passed it down to the next person who took care of it, and you know until it got to the podcast room, it’s pretty fucking crazy.

: Evet.

: One day, someone’s going to be looking at a Tesla like that. How many of these fucking backdoor they pop off sideways like a Lamborghini?

: They should see what the Tesla can do. He didn’t — You should — I’ll show you how to once.

: Well, I’ve driven one. I love them.

: Yeah, but most people don’t know what it can do.

: In terms like ludicrous mode? In terms of like driving super fast and irresponsibly on public roads, is that what you’re saying?

: Her araba bunu yapabilir.

: Evet. Bilmem gereken ne yapabilir?

: I mean, the Model X can do this like ballet thing to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It’s pretty cool.

: Bekle, dans mı ediyor?

: Evet.

: Meşru mu? Etrafta dolaştığı gibi mi?

: Evet.

: Neden bunu bir arabaya programladınız?

: Eğlenceli görünüyordu.

: That’s what I get about you. That’s what’s weird. Like when you showed up here, you were all smiles, and you pull out a fucking blowtorch and not a blowtorch, but I’m like, “Look at this-“

: Alev makinesi değil.

: Not a flamethrower. Like, “He’s having fun.”

: I want to be clear, it’s definitely not a flamethrower.

: But you’re having fun. Like this thing, you know, you program a car to do a ballet dance, you’re having fun.

: It’s great.

: But how do you have the time to do that? I don’t understand why you’re digging holes under the earth, and sending rockets into space, and powering people in Australia. Like how the fuck do you have time to make the car dance ballet?

: Well, I mean, in that case there were some engineers at Tesla that said, “You know, what if we make this car dance and play music?” I’m like, “That sounds great. Please do it. Let’s try to get it done in time for Christmas.” We did.

: Birinin aklını kaçırıp otoyolda bunu yapması gibi bir endişe var mı?

: No, it won’t do that.

: What if it’s in bumper-to-bumper traffic?

: Hayır.

: No, it won’t do it?

: Hayır. Aslında, hapşırarak sürüklemelisin.

: Oh, hapşırık sürüklemesi.

: Yeah, that’s why people don’t know about it. But if you have the car-

: Şey-

: It’s like it could do lots of things, lots of things.

: Once Reddit gets a hold of it, everyone’s going to know already.

: Yapmanız gereken tek şey - Herkes, eğer internette ararsanız, öğreneceksiniz.

: Bulacaklar.

: But people don’t know that they should even search for it.

: Artık var.

: Evet.

: Evet.

: There’s so many things about the Model X, and the Model S, and the Model 3 that people don’t know about. We should probably do a video or something to explain it because I have close friends of mine and I say, “Do you know the car can do this?” and they’re like, “Nope.”

: Do you want to do a video of that? Do you like the fact that some people don’t know?

: No, I think it’s probably not. We should tell people.

: Evet, muhtemelen.

: Evet.

: That would help your product. I mean, it’s not like you don’t sell enough of them. You sell almost too many of them, right.

: I mean, I think, a Tesla is the most fun thing you could possibly buy ever. That’s what it’s meant to be. Well, our goal is to make — It’s not exactly a car. It’s actually a thing to maximize enjoyment, make as maximum fun.

: Tamam. Elektronik, büyük ekran, dizüstü bilgisayar, gülünç hız, kullanım, tüm bu şeyler gibi.

: Evet.

: Var mı-

: And we’re going to put video games in it.

: Öyle mi?

: Evet.

: Bu akıllıca mı?

: Şey-

: Ne tür video oyunları? Candy Crush?

: You won’t be able to drive while you’re playing the video game. But, like, for example, we’re just putting the Atari emulator, RAM emulator in it. So, we’ll play a Missile Command, and Lunar Lander, and a bunch of other things. Yeah.

: Kulağa hoş geliyor.

: It’s pretty fun.

: Bu hoşuma gitti.

: Yeah. I mean, probe the interface for Missile Command because it’s too hard with the old trackball. So, there’s a touch screen version of Missile Command. So, you have a chance.

: Do you — You have an old car, don’t you? Don’t you have like an old Jaguar?

: Yeah. How did you know that? Let’s pause for that. I have a ’61 series 1 E-type Jaguar.

: Arabaları severim.

: It’s great.

: Evet, eski arabaları severim.

: Sadece-

: That’s one of the things-

: Evet, sahip olduğum iki gazlı araba bu ve bir arkadaşımın bana verdiği eski bir Ford Model T. Bunlar benim sadece iki benzinli arabam.

: Is the Ford Model T all stock? Oh, there’s your car. Look at that.

: Üstü açık arabam var.

: Bu muhteşem bir araba.

: It’s a soft car.

: God, that’s a good looking car.

: Evet.

: Bu senin mi?

: That is — It’s not mine. It’s extremely close to mine, but I don’t have a front license plate on mine.

: It’s a beautiful car. They nailed it. That new type-

: Benimki de öyle görünüyor.

: Tanrım, bunu başardılar.

: That’s what mine looks like. Maybe it is mine.

: There’s certain iconic shapes.

: Evet.

: And there’s something about those cars too. They’re not as capable, not nearly as capable as like a Tesla, but there’s something really satisfying about the mechanical aspect of like feeling the steering, and the-

: Evet.

: … grinding of the gears and the shifting. Something about those that’s extremely satisfying even though they’re not that competent. Like I have a 1993 Porsche 964. It’s like lightweight. It’s an RS America. It’s not very fast. It’s not like in comparison to a Tesla or anything like that. But the thing about it is like it’s mechanical, you feel it. Everything’s like-

: Elbette.

: It’s like it gives you this weird thrill, like you’re on this clunky ride, and there’s all this feedback. There’s something to that.

: Evet, kesinlikle. Evet, kesinlikle. Yani, evet. Benim E Tipim temelde elektronik değil.

: Evet.

: It’s-

: Bunu seviyorsunuz ama elektroniği de seviyorsunuz.

: Evet.

: Like Tesla Sup, it’s like the far end of electronics.

: Evet.

: Kendi kendini sürüyor.

: It’s driving itself better every day.

: Evet.

: We’re about to release the software that will enable you to just turn it on, and it’ll drive from highway on ramp, to highway exit, do lane changes, overtake other cars-

: Tanrım.

: Bir kavşaktan diğerine gitmek için. Örneğin 405'e binerseniz, 300 mil sonra inerseniz ve birkaç otoyol kavşağından geçerseniz ve diğer arabaları sollarsanız ve navigasyon sistemine bağlanırsanız ve sonra-.

: And you’re just meditating, om.

: Evet.

: Arabanız sadece seyahat ederken.

: It’s kind of eerie. It’s kind of eerie.

: What did you think when you saw that video of that dude fallen asleep behind the wheel? I’m sure you’ve seen it, the one in San Francisco. It’s like right outside of San Jose. It’s out cold, like this. And the cars an inch bumper-to-bumper in traffic moving along.

: Evet.

: You’ve seen it, right?

: Yeah, yeah. We just changed the software. Changed the software. That’s, I think, an old video. We changed software. If you don’t touch the wheel, it will gradually slow down, and put the emergency lights on, and wake you up.

: Oh, bu çok komik.

: Evet.

: That’s hilarious.

: Evet.

: Sizi hangi sesin uyandıracağını seçebilir misiniz?

: Well, it’s sort of more of a — It sort of honks.

: Korna çalıyor.

: Evet.

: There should be like, “Wake up, fuckface. You’re endangering your fellow humans.”

: Sizi boğucu bir sesle nazikçe uyandırabiliriz.

: That would be good like something with a southern accent. “Hey, wake up.”

: Uyan, günışığı.

: Hey, tatlım.

: Aynen öyle.

: Why don’t you wake up?

: Sen seçebilirsin-

: Doğru, sanki-

: Ne istersen. Evet.

: Evet, Siri için Avustralyalı kızı seçiyorum.

: Evet.

: Sesini beğendim.

: Baştan çıkarıcı mı olsun istiyorsun?

: It’s my favorite. I like Australian.

: Ne tadı? Kızgın olmasını istediğin şeyi yap. Her şey olabilir.

: Avustralyalı hapishane kadını genlerini istiyorsun. Şimdi, böyle bir şey programladığınızda, bu bir endişeye yanıt olarak mı, yoksa kendi endişeniz mi?

: Evet.

: Do look at it and go, “Hey, they shouldn’t just be able to fall asleep. Let’s wake them up.”

: Yeah, yeah. It’s like — You know, we’re like — Yeah, people are falling asleep. We’ve got to do something about that.

: Right. But when you first released it, you didn’t consider it, right? You’re just like, “Well, no one’s going to just sleep.”

: İnsanlar arabalarında her zaman uyuyakalırlar.

: Her zaman.

: Düşüyorlar.

: Yeah, it’s horrible.

: At least, our car doesn’t crash. That’s better.

: Evet.

: It’s better not to crash.

: Evet.

: O adamın benzinli bir arabada uyuyakaldığını düşünün, her zaman yaparlar.

: Kesinlikle, evet.

: Birine çarpabilirlerdi.

: Evet.

: And, in fact, the thing that really, you know, got me to — It’s like, “Man, we better get a autopilot going and get it out.” A guy was in an early Tesla driving down the highway, and he fell asleep, and he ran over a cyclist, and killed him. I was like, “Man, if we had autopilot, he might have fallen asleep, but, at least, he wouldn’t run over that cyclist.”

: Peki bunu nasıl uyguladınız? Sadece kamera mı kullandınız ve-

: Evet.

: ... sistemle programlanmış, böylece görüntü görürse yavaşlıyor mu? Ve ne kadar zamanınız var? Ve-

: Evet.

: Is the person who’s in control of it allow the program to how fast it goes?

: Evet. Evet, az ya da çok, daha muhafazakar ya da daha agresif bir sürücü olarak programlayabilirsiniz. Ve hangi hızda olmasını istediğinizi söyleyebilirsiniz - Hangi hız uygundur.

: Gülünç modun olduğunu biliyorum. Dangalak modun var mı?

: Şey, in-

: İnsanların önünü kesiyor.

: Well, for lane changes, it’s tricky because if you’re in like LA, like unless you’re pretty aggressive, right, it’s hard to change lanes sometimes.

: You can’t. It’s hard to be Satnam. It’s hard to be Namaste here in LA.

: Evet.

: Eğer Santa Monica Bulvarı'na çıkmak istiyorsanız

: I mean, you’ve got to be a little pushy.

: You’ve got to be a little pushy, yeah.

: Otobanda.

: Özellikle de kızgınsan.

: Evet.

: If you’re a little angry, they don’t want you, and they speed up.

: Sometimes, yeah, I think, people like overall are pretty nice on the highway, even in LA, but sometimes they’re not.

: Neuralink'in bu kadar çabuk yardımcı olacağını düşünüyor musunuz?

: Muhtemelen.

: Herkes birbirine kilitlenecek, bu kovan zihni.

: Tunnels will help it. We wouldn’t have traffic.

: Bu çok yardımcı olacaktır.

: Evet.

: Bunlardan kaç tane koyabilirsin?

: Tünellerin güzel yanı-

: Herkes için mi düşünüyorsunuz?

: Tünellerin en güzel yanı üç boyutlu olabilmeleri.

: Doğru ya.

: Yani, birçok seviyeye çıkabilirsiniz.

: Doğru.

: Yani-

: Vurana kadar.

: Evet, ama sen git - Bombalarla 100 seviyeye sahip olabilirsin.

: Jesus Christ. I don’t want to be on 99. That would be a negative 99 floors.

: This is one of the fundamental things people don’t appreciate about tunnels is that it’s not like roads. The fundamental issue with roads is that you have a 2D transport system and a 3D living and workspace environment. So, you’ve got all these tall buildings or concentrated work environments. And then, you want to go into those like 2D transport system with-

: Oldukça verimsiz.

: … pretty low density because cars are spaced out pretty far. And so, that, obviously, is not going to work. You’re going to have traffic guaranteed. But if you can go 3D on your transport system, then you can solve all traffic. And you can either go 3D up with a flying car, or you can go 3D down with tunnels. You can have as many tunnel levels as you want, and you can arbitrarily relieve any amount of traffic. You can go further down with tunnels than you can go up with buildings. You’re 10,000 feet down if you want. I wouldn’t recommended it, but-.

: What was that movie with — What’s his face? Bradley — Not Bradley Cooper, Christian? No. What the fuck is his name? Batman. Who is Batman?

: Christian Bale.

: Christian Bale, ejderhalarla savaştıkları yer. O ve Matthew McConaughey. Yerin derinliklerine indi. Ne kadar derine inebilirsin ki?

: I don’t think that was Batman.

: Evet, öyleydi. Evet, öyleydi.

: Batman fought dragons? I don’t-

: No, it wasn’t Batman but it’s Christian Bale.

: Ateş Yağmuru.

: Ateş Yağmuru.

: Tamam.

: Bunu hiç görmedin mi?

: Hayır.

: Korkunç. Korkunç ama iyi. Ben olsam bir ara bakardım.

: I wouldn’t recommend drilling super far down but the earth is a big-

: Yeah, but you can’t drill deep. It gets hot, right?

: ... erimiş

: Evet.

: The earth is a giant ball of lava with a thin crust on the top, which we think of as like the surface, this thin crust. And it’s mostly just a big bowl of lava. That’s earth, but 10,000 feet is not a big deal.

: Düz dünya hareketini hiç dikkate aldınız mı?

: That’s a troll situation.

: Oh, it’s not. No, it’s not. You would like to think that-

: Tamam.

: … because you’re super genius. But I, as a normal person, I know these people are way dumber than me. And they really, really believe. They watch YouTube videos, which go on uninterrupted, and spew out a bunch of fucking fake facts very eloquently and articulately. And they really believe. These people really believe.

: Yani, işlerine geliyorsa, tabii. Olur.

: It’s weird though, right, that in this age where, you know, there’s ludicrous mode in your car, goes 1.9 seconds, 060.

: That’s 2.2.

: 2.2. Which one’s 1.9? The Coaster.

: Yeni Nesil Roadster.

: Tamam.

: Standart baskı.

: Yeah, I’m on top of this shit.

: That’s just without-

: Standart baskı.

: Yeah. So, it’s not the performance package.

: Hangi performans paketi?

: Evet.

: Neye ihtiyacın var?

: İçine bir roket iticisi koyduk.

: Gerçekten mi?

: Evet.

: Ne yakacaklar?

: Hiçbir şey. Ultra yüksek basınçlı basınçlı hava.

: Vay be. Sadece hava mı?

: Sadece gaz iticileri deniyor.

: O zaman, hava tanklarınız mı var yoksa-

: Evet.

: Hava emiyorum, tamam.

: Evet. Elektrikli pompası var.

: Vay be.

: 10,000 PSI kadar pompala.

: Ne kadar hızdan bahsediyoruz? Sıfırdan 60'a.

: Ne kadar hızlı gitmek istiyorsun?

: Gitmek istiyorum-

: Bu şeyi uçurabiliriz.

: Zamanda geri gitmek istiyorum.

: Onu uçurabilirim.

: Sen mi uçuruyorsun?

: Elbette.

: Do you anticipate that as being — I mean, you’re talking about the tunnels and then flying cars. Do you really think that’s going to be real?

: Too noisy, and there’s too much airflow. So, the final issue with flying cars, I mean, if you get like one of those like toy drones, think of how loud those are and how much air they blow. Now, imagine if that’s like a thousand times heavier. This is not going to make your neighbors happy. Your neighbors are not going to be happy if you land a flying car in your backyard.

: Helikopter gibi olacak.

: Or on your roof. It’s just really going to be like, “What the hell. That was annoying.”

: Evet.

: You can’t even — Like, if you want a flying car, just put some wheels on a helicopter.

: Is there a way around that? Like what if they figure out some sort of magnetic technology, like all those Bob Lazar type characters who were thinking that was a part of the UFO technology they were doing at Area 51? Remember, didn’t they have some thoughts about magnetics? Nope.

: Hayır mı? Saçmalık mı?

: Evet.

: Gerçekten mi?

: Yeah. There’s a fundamental momentum exchange with the air. So, you must accelerate. There’s like this — There’s a sudden — You have a mass, and you have gravitational acceleration. And mass times — Your mass times gravity must equal the mass of airflow times acceleration of that airflow to have a neutral force. MG=MA

: So, it’s impossible to go around-

: And then you won’t move.

: Tamam.

: If MG is greater than MA, you will go down. And if MA is greater than MG, you will go up. That’s how it works.

: There’s just no way around that?

: Bundan kaçmanın kesinlikle bir yolu yok.

: There’s no way to create some sort of a magnetic something or another that allows you to float?

: Teknik olarak evet. Yeterince güçlü bir mıknatısa sahip olabilirsiniz, ancak bu mıknatıs o kadar güçlü olur ki çok fazla sorun yaratırsınız.

: Arabaları arabanın içine mi çekecek? Sadece aksları alıp bunu mu yapacak?

: I mean, it should have to repel off of either material on the ground or in a really nutty situation off of Earth’s gravitational field, and somehow make that incredibly light, but that magnet would cause so much destruction. You’d be better off with a helicopter.

: Yani, bir çeşit mıknatıs yolu olsaydı, iki mıknatısınız var ve birbirlerini itiyorlar, altınızda bir çeşit mıknatıs yolu olsaydı ve bu mıknatıs yolunda seyahat edebilseydiniz, bu işe yarar mıydı?

: Evet. Evet, mıknatıslı bir yolunuz olabilir.

: Mıknatıslı bir yol. Bu çok mu saçma?

: Hayır, işe yarayacak. Yani, bunu yapabilirsin.

: That’s ridiculous too, right?

: Bunu tavsiye etmem.

: There’s a lot of things you don’t recommend.

: Bunu hiç tavsiye etmem. Hiç iyi değil. Bence akıllıca değil.

: Hayır mı?

: Hayır.

: Mıknatıslı yollar mı?

: Hayır. Hayır. Hayır, kesinlikle olmaz. Kesinlikle olmaz. Evet, çok fazla soruna neden olur.

: Yani, benim aptalca düşüncelerim yerine bu konuya biraz zaman ayırdınız ve kafa yordunuz. Yani, tünellerin bunu yapmanın yolu olduğunu mu düşünüyorsun?

: Kesinlikle işe yarayacak.

: That’ll work?

: Evet.

: And these tunnels that you’re building right now, these are basically just like test versions of this ultimate idea that you have?

: You know, it’s just a hole in the ground.

: Doğru. Fikirlerinizin olduğu videoları oynattık-

: It’s just a hole in the ground.

: … that you drop that hole in the ground. There’s a sled on it, and the sled goes very fast, like 100 miles an hour plus.

: Yeah, it can go real fast. You can go as fast as you want. And then, if you want to go long distances, you can just draw the air out of the tunnel, make sure it’s real straight.

: Havayı tünelden dışarı mı çekeceğiz?

: Yeah, it’s sort of vacuum tunnel because the — And then, depending on how fast you want to go, you’re going to take these wheels, or you could use air bearings depending upon the ambient pressure in the tunnel, or you could mag lev it if you want to go super fast.

: Mıknatıslı yol mu?

: Evet, yeraltı mıknatıs yolları.

: Yeraltı mıknatıs yolları mı?

: Yeah. Otherwise, you’re going to really create a lot of trouble because of those metal things.

: Oh. Yani, mıknatıslı yol gitmenin yolu, sadece yeraltında.

: Yeraltında gerçekten hızlı gitmek istiyorsanız, vakumlu bir tünelde mag lev olursunuz.

: Vakum tünelinde Mag.

: Vakum tüneli fırlatıcılarında manyetik kaldırma. Eğlenceli mi?

: Roketatarlarla mı?

: Hayır, hiçbir şey koymanızı önermem-

: Hadi ama.

: ... tüneldeki egzoz gazı.

: Oh, okay. I see what you’re saying because then the air will be gone.

: Çünkü o zaman hava onu dışarı pompalayacaktır.

: Doğru. Onu dışarı pompalamak zorundasınız ve muhtemelen ilk etapta sınırlı miktarda havanız var. Ne kadar nefes alabiliyorsunuz? Bu odacıklara, bu tüplere oksijen pompalamak zorunda mısınız?

: No. We have a pressurized pod. It’d be like a little tiny underground spaceship basically.

: Like an airplane because you have air on airplanes. It’s not getting new air in.

: Öyle.

: Öyle mi?

: Evet.

: Küçük bir deliğin mi var?

: Evet, pompaları var.

: Gerçekten mi?

: Evet.

: Yani dışarıdan mı alıyor?

: Evet.

: Wow, I didn’t know that.

: It’s like the air’s — Airplanes have it easy because, essentially, you can — they’re pretty leaky, but-

: Tanrım.

: Yeah, but as long as the air pump is working at a distance. I mean, they have backup pumps, sort of like, you know, three pumps, or four pumps, or something. And then, there’s like — It exhausts through the outflow valve and through whatever seals are not sealing quite right. Usually, the door doesn’t seal quite right on the plane. So, there’s a bit of leakage around the door. But the pumps exceed the outflow rate. And then, that sets the pressure in the cabin.

: Now, have you ever looked at planes and gone, “I can fix this.”

: Evet.

: “I just don’t have the time.”

: Bir uçak tasarımım var.

: Öyle mi?

: Evet.

: Daha iyi bir tasarım mı?

: Yani, muhtemelen. Bence öyle, evet.

: Bu konuda kiminle konuştunuz?

: I’ve talked to friends.

: Arkadaş mı?

: Arkadaşlar ve-

: I’m your friend.

: Kız arkadaşlar ve-

: You can tell me. What you got? What’s going on?

: Yani, yapılacak en heyecan verici şey bir tür elektrikli dikey kalkış ve iniş yapan süpersonik jet olurdu.

: Dikey kalkış ve iniş, yani piste gerek yok. Sadece havaya doğru ateş edin.

: Evet.

: Bunu nasıl yaparsınız? Yani, bunu bazı askeri uçaklarda yapıyorlar, değil mi?

: Evet. İşin püf noktası, düz uçuşa geçmek zorunda olmanız. Ve sonra, dikey kalkış ve iniş için kullanacağınız şey yüksek hızlı uçuş için uygun değildir.

: Yani iki farklı sisteminiz mi var? Dikey kalkış tek bir sistem mi?

: I’ve thought about this quite a lot. I’ve thought about this quite a lot.

: Tamam.

: I guess, thinking about an electric plane is that you want to go as high as possible, but you need a certain energy density in the battery pack because you have to overcome gravitational potential energy. Once you’ve overcome gravitational potential energy, and you’re out at a high altitude, the energy use in cruise is very low. And then, you can recapture a large part of the gravitational potential energy on the way down. So, you really don’t need any kind of reserve fuel, if you will, because you have the energy of height, gravitational potential energy. This is a lot of energy.

: So, once you can get high, like the way to think about a plane is it’s a force balance. So, the force balance — So, a plane that is not accelerating is a neutral force balance. You have the force of gravity, you have the lift force, you have the wings. Then, you’ve got the force of the whatever thrusting device, so the propeller, or turbine, or whatever it is. And you’ve got the resistance force of the air.

: Now, the higher you go, the lower the air resistance is. Air density drops exponentially, but drag increases with the square, and exponential beats the square. The higher you go, the faster you will go for the same amount of energy. And at a certain altitude, you can go supersonic with less energy per mile, quite a lot less energy per mile than an aircraft at 35,000 feet because it’s just a force balance.

: I’m too stupid for this conversation.

: Yine de mantıklı.

: No, I’m sure it does. Now, when you think about this new idea of of design, when you have this idea about improving planes, are you going to bring this to somebody and check this one out?

: İşim başımdan aşkın.

: Right. That’s what I’m saying. I don’t know how you do what you do now, but if you keep coming up with these. But it’s got to be hard to pawn this off on someone else either, like, “Hey, go do a good job with this vertical takeoff and landing system that I want to implement to regular planes.”.

: The airplane, electric airplane isn’t necessarily right now. Electric cars are important. We need-

: Bir çeşit-

: Solar energy is important. Stationary storage of energy is important. These things are much more important than creating electric supersonic futile. Also, the plane’s naturally — You really want that gravitational energy density for an aircraft, and this improving over time. So, you know, it’s important that we accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. That’s why electric cars, it matters whether electric cars happen sooner or later. You know, we’re really playing a crazy game here with the atmosphere or the oceans.

: Evet.

: We’re taking vast amounts of carbon from deep underground and putting this in the atmosphere. It’s just crazy. We should not do this. It’s very dangerous. So, we should accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. I mean, the bizarre thing is that, obviously, we’re going to run out of oil in the long term. You know, we’re going to — There’s only so much oil we can mine and burn. It’s totally logical. We must have a sustainable energy transport and energy infrastructure in the long term.

: So, we know that’s the endpoint. We know that. So, why run this crazy experiment where we take trillions of tons of carbon from underground and put it in the atmosphere and oceans? This is an insane experiment. It’s the dumbest experiment in human history. Why are we doing this? It’s crazy.

: Do you think this is a product of momentum that we started off doing this when it was just a few engines, a few hundred million gallons of fuel over the whole world, not that big of a deal? And then, slowly but surely over a century, it got out of control. And now, it’s not just our fuel, but it’s also, I mean, fossil fuels are involved in so many different electronics, so many different items that people buy. It’s just this constant desire for fossil fuels, constant need for oil-

: Evet.

: Sürdürülebilirlik göz önünde bulundurulmadan.

: You know, the things like oil, oil, coal, gas, it’s easy money.

: Doğru.

: It’s easy money. So-

: Have you heard about clean coal? The president’s been tweeting about it. It’s got to be real. CLEAN COAL, all caps. Did you see? He used all caps. Clean coal.

: Well, you know, it’s very difficult to put that CO2 back in the ground. It doesn’t like being in solid form.

: Hiç böyle bir şey düşündünüz mü?

: Çok fazla enerji gerektirir.

: Bir tür filtre gibi, dev bina büyüklüğünde bir filtre atmosferdeki karbonu mu emiyor? Bu mümkün mü?

: No, no, it doesn’t. It’s not possible.

: Hayır mı?

: Hayır.

: Hayır mı?

: Hayır, kesinlikle olmaz.

: So, we’re fucked?

: No, we’re not fucked. I mean, this is quite a complex question.

: Doğru.

: You know, we’re really just — When we — The more carbon we take out of the ground and add to the atmosphere, and a lot of it gets permeated into the oceans, the more dangerous it is. Like I don’t think right — I think we’re okay right now. We can probably even add some more but the momentum towards sustainable energy is too slow.

: Like there’s a vast base of industry, vast transportation system. Like there’s Two and a half billion cars and trucks in the world. And the new car and truck production, if it was a 100% electric, that’s only about 100 million per year. So, it would take — If you could snap your fingers and instantly turn all cars and trucks electric, it would still take 25 years to change the transport base to electric. It makes sense because how long does a car and truck last before it goes into the junkyard and gets crushed? About 20 to 25 years.

: Bu süreci hızlandırmanın bir yolu var mı, örneğin bir tür sübvansiyon ya da devlet tarafından finansal olarak teşvik gibi?

: Well, the thing that is going on right now is that there is an inherent subsidy in any oil-burning device. Any power plant or car is fundamentally consuming the carbon capacity of the oceans and atmosphere, or just the atmosphere for short. So, like, you can say, okay, there’s a certain probability of something bad happening past a certain carbon concentration in the atmosphere.

: And so, there’s some uncertain number where if we put too much carbon into the atmosphere, things overheat, oceans warm up, ice caps melt, ocean real estate becomes a lot less valuable, you know, if something’s underwater, but it’s not clear what that number is. But, definitely, scientists, it’s really quite — The scientific consensus is overwhelming. Overwhelming.

: I mean, I don’t know any serious scientist, actually zero, literally zero who don’t think, you know, that we have quite a serious climate risk that we’re facing. And so, that’s fundamentally a subsidy occurring with every fossil fuel burning thing, power plants, aircraft, car frankly even rockets. I mean, rockets use up — you know, they burn. They burn fuel. But there’s just — you know, with rockets, there’s just no other way to get to orbit unfortunately. So, it’s the only way.

: But with cars, there’s definitely a better way with electric cars. And to generate the energy, do so with photovoltaics because we’ve got a giant nuclear reactor in the sky called the sun. It’s great. It sort of shows up every day, very reliable. So, if you can generate energy from solar panels, store up with batteries, you can have energy 24 hours a day.

: Ve sonra, bilirsiniz, yüksek gerilim hatları ile sandıklara ya da havadan kuzeye gönderebilirsiniz. Dünyanın kuzey bölgelerinin çoğunda çok sayıda hidroelektrik enerji de bulunmaktadır. Ama yine de fosil yakıtla çalışan her şeyin doğasında bir sübvansiyon vardır, bu da atmosferin ve okyanusların karbon kapasitesini tüketmeleridir.

: So, people tend to think like why should electric vehicles have a subsidy, but they’re not taking into account that all fossil fuel-burning vehicles fundamentally are subsidized by the cost, the environmental cost to earth, but nobody’s paying for it. We are going to pay for it, obviously. In the future, we’ll pay for it. It’s just not paid for now.

: Elektrikli arabalar, kamyonlar ve benzeri şeylerle ilgili darboğaz nedir? Batarya kapasitesi mi?

: Evet. Üretimi artırmalısınız. Arabayı cazip hale getirmeli, benzinli veya dizel arabalardan daha iyi hale getirmelisiniz.

: Make it more efficient in terms of, like, the distance it can travel? You’re going to be fueling-

: Yeah, you’re going to be able to go far enough, recharge fast.

: And your Roadster, you’re anticipating 600 miles. Is that correct?

: Evet, evet.

: Ne oldu? Nedir bu?

: Evet, 600 mil.

: Şu anda mı? Mesela 600 mil sürdün mü?

: No. We could totally make one right now that would do 600 miles, but the thing is too expensive. So, like the car’s got to-

: Ne kadar daha fazla?

: Well, you know, just have a chartered kilowatt hour battery pack, and you can go 600 miles as long as you’re-

: Peki, şimdi neyiniz var?

: 330-mile range. That’s plenty for most people.

: 330 mil menzil. Peki bu kilovat cinsinden ne anlama geliyor?

: Bu Model S için geçerli, 100 kilovat saatlik paket yaklaşık 330 mil yapacaktır. Belki de 335 çünkü bazı insanlar 500 mile kadar hiper hafifliğe sahip.

: Hiper hafif. Bu ne demek oluyor?

: Evet, aynen devam et.

: Saatte 45 mil falan mı?

: Yeah, like 30 miles an hour or so. It’s like on level ground with — You pump the tires up really well, and go on a smooth surface, and you can go for a long time. But, you know, like definitely comfortably do 300 miles.

: Var mı-

: This is fine for most people. Usually, 200 or 250 miles is fine. 300 miles is — You don’t even think about it really.

: Is there any possibility that you could use solar power, solar-powered one day, especially in Los Angeles? I mean, as you said about that giant nuclear reactor, a million times bigger than Earth just floating in the sky. Is it possible that one day, you’ll be able to just power all these cars just on solar power? I mean, we don’t ever have cloudy days if we do just three of them.

: Bir arabanın yüzey alanı, arabayı gerçekten bloklu göstermeden veya bazı-

: G vagonu gibi.

: Evet, çok fazla yüzey alanı varmış gibi görünüyorsa ya da güneş panelleri katlanabiliyorsa ya da başka bir şey-

: Like your E class. That’s what it needed.

: Şu E tipi mi?

: Evet, devasa uzun kaputu olan Jaguar E tipi, dev bir güneş paneli olabilir.

: Well, at the beginning of Tesla, I did want to have this like unfolding solar panel thing. They’d press a button, and it would just like unfold these solar panels, and like charge/recharge your car in the parking lot. Yeah, we could do that, but I think it’s probably better to just put that on your roof.

: Doğru, evet.

: And then, it’s going to — It should be facing the sun all the time because like-

: Hangi arabanın tavanında var bu?

: Aksi takdirde, arabanız gölgede olabilir. Gölgede, garajda ya da buna benzer bir yerde olabilir.

: Doğru.

: Evet.

: Didn’t the Fisker have that on the roof? The Fisker Karma New Generation for — I believe, it was only for the radio. Is that correct?

: Evet, yani, ama bence günde iki mil falan şarj edebilir.

: Suyla vurulduklarında patlamaya başladıklarında güldünüz mü? Ne olduğunu hatırlıyor musun?

: Neyi aldılar?

: Evet, bir bayilikleri vardı ya da-

: Oh, evet.

: Fisker Karmalar park edildi-

: Jersey'deki sel gibi mi?

: Evet, evet.

: Evet.

: When the hurricane came in, they got overwhelmed with water, and they all started exploding. There’s a fucking great video of it. Did you watch the video?

: I didn’t watch the video, but I did see — It’s like some picture of the aftermath.

: If I was you, I’d be naked, lubed up, watch that video, laugh my eşek off. They all blow up. They got wet, and they blew up. That’s not good.

: Yeah, we made our battery waterproof, so that doesn’t happen. Actually-

: Akıllıca bir hareket.

: Evet, Kazakistan'da bir adam vardı - sanırım Kazakistan'dı, bir tünelden, bir su altı tünelinden, su basmış bir tünelden botla geçti ve sadece tekerlekleri çevirip gaza bastı ve tünelde yüzdü.

: Vay canına.

: Ve diğer arabaların etrafından dolaştı. Yani, sanki-

: That’s amazing.

: It’s on the internet.

: What happens if your car gets a little sideways, like if you’re driving in snow? Like what if you’re driving, if you’re autopilot is on, and you’re in like Denver, and it snows out, and your car gets a little sideways, does it correct itself? Does that-

: Oh yeah. It’s got great traction control.

: Ama nasıl doğru sevileceğini biliyor mu? Bilirsiniz, Yükselişiniz-

: Evet, tabii.

: ... tekmeler, nasıl dümen kırılacağını biliyor musun?

: Oh, yeah. No, it’s really good.

: Nasıl yapılacağını biliyor mu?

: Evet.

: Vay be.

: It’s pretty crazy.

: That’s pretty crazy.

: Evet.

: So, like if you’re going sideways, it knows how to correct itself?

: It generally won’t go sideways.

: It won’t?

: Hayır.

: Neden olmasın?

: Yana doğru gitmeden önce kendini düzeltecektir.

: Siyah gözlerde bile mi?

: Yeah. There’s videos where you could see the car, the traction-

: Yalnız değilim.

: Traction control system is very good. It makes you feel like Superman. It’s great. You like feel like you can — Like it’s — It will make you feel like this incredible driver.

: Buna inanıyorum.

: Evet.

: Şimdi, bunu nasıl programlıyorsunuz?

: İsveç'teki bir buz gölü gibi testlerimiz var.

: Gerçekten mi?

: Evet. Norveç, Kanada ve birkaç başka yer daha.

: Porsche de mi bunu çok yapıyor? Yapıyorlar-

: Onlar da mı yaptı?

: They do a lot of their — They do some of their driver training school on these frozen surfaces. So, you’re just — The car is going sideways whether you like it or not. And you have to learn how to slide into corners, and how do we test.

: Evet. Elektrikli arabalar gerçekten harika çekiş kontrolüne sahiptir çünkü tepki süresi çok hızlıdır.

: Doğru.

: Sort of like where you’re gassing a car, you’ve got a lot of latency. It takes a while for the engine to react, but for electric motors, incredibly precise. That’s why you’re like — You imagine like if you had like a printer or something, you wouldn’t have a gasoline engine printer. That would be pretty weird or like a surgical device. It’s going to be an electric motor on the surgical device on the printer. Gasoline engine’s going to be just chugging away. It’s not going to have the reaction time.

: But to an electric motor, it’s operating at the most second level. So, it can turn on and off traction within, like, inches of getting on the onus. Like, let’s say, you’re driving on a patch of ice, it will turn traction off, and then turn it on a couple inches right after the ice, like a little patch of ice because in the frame of the electric motor, you’re moving incredibly slowly. You’re like a — You’re a snail. You’re just moving so slowly because it can see at a thousand frames a second. And so, it’s like, say, one Mississippi. It just thought about it things a thousand times.

: So, it’s to realize that your wheels are not getting traction. It understands there’s some slippery surface that you’re driving on.

: Evet.

: Ve gerçek zamanlı olarak ayarlamalar yapar.

: Evet, milisaniyeler içinde.

: Bu normal bir arabadan çok daha güvenli olurdu.

: Evet, öyle.

: Just that alone, for loved ones, you’d want them to be driving your car.

: Evet.

: Ya da gemide. Motorları siktir et. Dostum, normal motorları siktir et.

: S, X ve 3, ABD hükümeti tarafından şimdiye kadar test edilen tüm otomobiller arasında en düşük yaralanma olasılığına sahiptir.

: Vay be.

: So, this — Yeah, but it’s pretty fun. It’s pretty crazy. Like we — You know, people still sue us like they’ll have like some accident at 60 miles an hour where they’d like twisted an ankle, and they slipped. Like they will be dead in another car, they still sue us.

: But that’s to be expected, isn’t it?

: Bu beklenen bir şey.

: Do you take that into account with like the same sort of fatalistic, you know, undertones to sort of just go, “You’ve got to just let it go. This is what people do.”

: I tell you I’ve got-

: Olan bu.

: … Quite a lot of respect for the justice system. Judges are very smart. And they see — they’ve — as like I haven’t. So far, I’ve found judges to be very good at justice because like what — and juries are good too. Like, they’re actually quite good. You know, people — You know, you read about like occasional errors in the justice system. Let me tell you, most the time, they’re very good.

: Ve diğer adamın bahsettiği gibi arabada uyuyakaldı ve bir bisikletlinin üzerinden geçti. Bu da beni otomatik pilotu mümkün olan en kısa sürede kaldırmaya teşvik etti. O adam bizi dava etti.

: Uyuya kaldığın için seni dava mı etti?

: Yes. I’m not kidding. He blamed it on the new car smell.

: Ne?

: Evet.

: He blamed him falling asleep on your new car smell. Does someone that’s a lawyer-

: Bu gerçek bir olay.

: Someone that’s a lawyer that thought that through in front of his laptop before he wrote that up.

: Yes, he got a lawyer, and he sued us, and the judge was like, “This is crazy. Stop bothering me. No.”

: Tanrı'ya şükür.

: Evet.

: Thank God. Thank God there’s a judge out there with a brain.

: Size söylüyorum, yargıçlar çok iyidir.

: Bazıları.

: Bir sürü-

: Peki ya Pennsylvania'da tüm bu çocukları nehre gönderen ve o çocukları satan yargıç? O hikayeyi biliyor musun?

: Hayır.

: Yargıç genç çocukları hapishanelere satıyordu. Kelimenin tam anlamıyla-

: Ne?

: Evet, kelimenin tam anlamıyla, rüşvet altında - O-

: Bu seçilmiş bir yargıç mıydı yoksa-

: O-

: Because sometimes you have a judge that’s like actually a politician.

: Hayır, o seçilmiş bir yargıçtı. Bu çok ünlü bir hikayedir.

: Tamam.

: He’s in jail right now, I think, for the rest of his life. And he put away — He would take like a young boy who would do something like steal something from a store, and he would put them in detention for, you know, five years. Something ridiculous egregious. And they investigated his history. And they found out that he was literally being paid off. Was it by private prisons? Is that what the the deal was? There was some sort of — But, anyway, this judge is-

: Aslında, iki yargıç.

: İki yargıç mı?

: Two judges. Kids for cash scandals, let’s call them.

: Evet.

: 2008, evet. Common pleas yargıçları. Sanırım seçimle geliyorlar.

: And who was paying them? Someone — It proven to the point where they’re in jail now that someone was paying them to put more asses in the seats in these private prisons.

: It’s like a million-dollar payment to put them in a youth center builder.

: Bir milyon dolarlık ödeme mi?

: Evet.

: Bence bu özel hapishaneler olayı-

: İş yapan biri.

: ... kötü bir teşvik yaratıyor.

: It’s dark.

: Doğru, evet. Ama, demek istediğim, o yargıç hapiste.

: Tanrı'ya şükür.

: Evet, ancak adalet sisteminin tamamen bu tür yargıçlardan oluştuğunu düşünen insanlar için sizi temin etmek isterim-

: Hayır.

: ... durum böyle değil. Yargıçların büyük çoğunluğu çok iyidir.

: Katılıyorum.

: And they care about justice, and they could have made a lot more money if they wanted to be a trial lawyer. And instead, they cared about justice, and they made less money because they care about justice. And that’s why they’re judges.

: Ben de polis memurları için aynı şeyi hissediyorum.

: Evet.

: I feel like there’s so many interactions with so many different people with police officers that the very few that stand out that are horrific, we tend to look at that like, “This is evidence that police are all corrupt.” And I think that’s crazy.

: Hayır. Çoğu polis çok dürüsttür.

: Evet.

: Ve ordu gibi-

: Sanki delice-

: ... bildiğim personel-

: Evet.

: ... çok onurlu ve ahlaklı insanlardır.

: Evet.

: And much more honorable and ethical than the average person. That’s my impression.

: I agree. That’s my impression as well.

: And that’s not to suggest that we be complacent and assume everyone is honest and ethical. And, obviously, if somebody is given a trusted place in society, such as being a police officer or a judge, and they are corrupt, then we must be extra vigilant against such situations-

: Evet.

: ... ve harekete geçerler. Ancak bunun bir şekilde o meslekteki insanları genel olarak tanımladığını düşünmemeliyiz.

: I couldn’t agree more. I think there’s also an issue with one of the things that happens with police officers, prosecutors, and anyone that’s trying to convict someone or arrest someone is that it becomes a game. And in games, people want to win.

: Evet.

: Ve bazen insanlar hile yapar.

: Yes, yes. I mean, you know, if you’re a prosecutor, you should not always want to win. There are times when you should like, “Okay. I just should not want to win this case.” And then, you know, like just pass on that case. Sometimes, people want to win too much. That is true.

: I think, also, it becomes tough. If you’re like a district attorney, you know, you tend to sort of see a lot of criminals. And then, your view of the world can get negatively.

: Evet.

: You know, have a negative — You know, you can have a negative view of the world because, you know, you’re just interacting with a lot of criminals. But, actually, most of society is not to consist of criminals.

: Doğru.

: And I, actually, had this conversation at dinner several years ago with, I guess, it’s Tony. I was like, “Man, it must, sometimes, seem pretty, pretty dark because, you know, man, there’s some terrible human beings out there. And he was like, “Yup.” And he was like dealing with some case, which consisted of a couple of old ladies that would run people over somehow for insurance money. It was rough. Like, “Wow, that’s pretty rough.” It’s like hard to maintain faith in humanity if you’re a district attorney, but, you know, it’s only a few percent of society that are actually bad.

: Ve sonra en kötüye giderseniz, diyelim ki toplumun 0.1%'si en kötüsüdür, binde bir, milyonda bir, bilirsiniz. Mesela Birleşik Devletler'deki en kötü milyonuncu kişi ne kadar kötüdür? Oldukça kötü. Çok kötü.

: Evet,

: Like the millionth, well, one in a million of evil is so evil, people cannot even conceive of it. But there’s 330 million people in the United States. So, that’s 330 people out there somewhere. But by the same token, there’s also 330 people who are incredible angels and unbelievably good human beings.

: Evet.

: Diğer tarafta.

: Ancak tehlike korkumuz nedeniyle, düşüncelerimiz en kötü senaryoya yönelme eğilimindedir.

: Evet.

: And we want to frame that. And that’s one of the real problems with prejudice, whether it’s prejudice towards different minorities, or prejudice towards police officers, or anything, it’s like we want to look at the worst-case scenario and say, “This is an example of what this is all about.”.

: And you see that even with people, how they frame genders. Some men frame women like that. They get ripped off by a few women, and they said, “All women are evil.” Some women get fucked over by a few men, “All men are shit.” And this is very toxic.

: Öyle.

: And it’s also — It’s a very unbalanced way of viewing the world, and it’s very emotionally-based, and it’s based on your own experience, your own anecdotal experience. And it can be very influential to the people around you, and it’s just it’s a dangerous way. It’s a dangerous thought process and pattern to promote.

: It is. It is a very dangerous, but I really think, you know, people should give other people the benefit of the doubt and assume that they are good until proven otherwise. And, I think, really, most people are actually pretty good people. Nobody’s perfect.

: Olmak zorundalar.

: Evet.

: Birbirimizle sürekli etkileşim halinde olan çok sayıda insan olduğumuzu düşünürseniz-

: Evet.

: ... olduğumuzu düşündüğümüzden daha iyi olmalıyız.

: Evet. Yani, şey gibi-

: There’s no other way.

: I mean, here are these weapons but how many times, like, nobody’s presumably try to murder you and you’re-

: Henüz kimse yok.

: Yes, nobody. It’s like the sword right there.

: Alev makinesi değil, sahte alev makinesi burada-

: Aynen öyle.

: It’s not a flamethrower. Now, we’ve got a real problem, I’m going to put it on that side to him and leave it for the guests.

: Evet.

: I’m like, “Look, man, if I say something that fucked up, it’s right there.”

: It will liven things up for sure. It’s guaranteed to make any party better.

: Yeah. Well, that’s — I mean, that’s the armed civilization theory, right. An armed community is safe and polite community.

: You know, in Texas, it’s kind of true. Yeah. I mean-

: People in Texas are super polite. Therefore, they’ve got a gun.

: Yes. Don’t make somebody angry.

: Evet.

: We don’t know what’s going to happen.

: Yeah, it’s a good move.

: Evet.

: İnsanları kızdırırsanız herkesin silahı olur.

: Evet.

: You’re off to just let that guy get in your lane.

: Evet, evet. Orta Teksas'ta Waco yakınlarında büyük bir test alanımız var.

: Öyle mi? Çok güzel.

: Yes, Space X in McGregor. It’s about 15 minutes away from Waco.

: That’s close to where Ted Nugent lives.

: Öyle mi?

: Ted Nugent'a sesleniyorum.

: Tamam, güzel.

: Evet.

: Yeah, there’s — You know, we have lots of fire, and loud explosions, and things, and people-

: Eminim öyledir.

: ... onlar için sorun yok.

: They don’t give a fuck out there.

: They’re very supportive.

: Evet. Çocuklarınızın okula gittiği yerden havai fişek satın alabilirsiniz.

: Yeah. You know, it’s dangerous.

: Yeah, but it’s free.

: It’s free.

: There’s something about Texas-

: Aynen öyle.

: … that’s very enticing because of that. It is dangerous, but it’s also free.

: Doğru.

: Evet.

: Evet. Aslında Teksas'ı severim.

: I prefer it over places that are more restrictive but more liberal because you could always be liberal. Like just because things are free and just because you have a certain amount of, you know, right wing type characters, it doesn’t mean you have to be that way, you know.

: Hayır.

: And, honestly, there’s a lot of those people that are pretty fucking open minded and let you do whatever you want to do.

: Doğru.

: As long as you don’t bother them.

: Evet, aynen öyle.

: That’s my hope right now with the way we’re able to communicate with each other today and how radically different it is than generations past because we all — Just, the dust settles. We all realize, like what you’re saying that most people are good.

: Çoğu insan iyidir.

: Büyük çoğunluğu mu?

: Evet. Bence insanlara şüphe duyma hakkı verirseniz, kesinlikle.

: I think you’re right. You know who could help with that? Mushrooms.

: Mantarlar.

: Don’t you think?

: They’re delicious.

: Evet, doğru.

: Evet.

: They’re good for you too.

: Evet.

: Hepsinden. Her türden. Şirketlerinizin geleceğini düşündüğünüzde darboğaz olarak ne görüyorsunuz? Bundan biraz daha ister misiniz?

: Tabii. Teşekkür ederim.

: What do you see in terms of like bottlenecks of things that are holding back innovation? Is it regulatory commissions and people that don’t understand the technology that are influencing policy? Like what could potentially be holding you guys back right now? Is there anything that you would change?

: Yeah, that’s a good question. You know, I wish politicians were better at science. That would help a lot.

: That’s a problem.

: Evet.

: There’s no incentive for them to be good at science.

: There isn’t. Actually, you know, they’re pretty good at science in China, I have to say.

: Öyle mi?

: Yeah. The mayor of Beijing has, I believe, an environmental engineering degree, and the deputy mayor has a physics degree. I met them, And Mayor says, “Shanghai is really smart and-“.

: You’re up on technology. What do you think about this government policy of stopping use of Huawei phones? And there’s something about the the worry about spying. I mean, from what I understand from real tech people, they think it’s horseshit.

: Oh ben-.

: Telefonlar gibi.

: I don’t know. I don’t know.

: Like the government say, “Don’t you buy Huawei phones.” Are you up on that at all? No? Should we just abandon this idea?

: Sanırım, çok gizli şeyleriniz varsa, hangi donanımı kullandığınız konusunda oldukça dikkatli olmak istersiniz. Ama, bilirsiniz, çoğu insanın çok gizli şeyleri yoktur.

: Doğru.

: Kimse hangi pornoyu izlediğini umursamıyor.

: Doğru, evet.

: It’s like nobody actually cares, you know. So-.

: If they do, that’s kind of them.

: Evet.

: It’s just like-

: National spy agencies do not give a rat’s ass which porn you watch. They do not care. So, like, what secrets does a national spy agency have to learn from the average citizen? Nothing.

: Well, that’s the argument against the narrative. And the argument by a lot of these tech people is that the real concern is that these companies, like Huawei, are innovating at a radical pace, and they’re trying to stop them from integrating into our culture and letting this. Like right now, they’re the number two cell phone manufacturer in the world.

: Tamam.

: Samsung is number one. Huawei is number two. Apple is now number three. They surpassed Apple as number two. And the idea is that this is all taking place without them having any foothold whatsoever in America. There’s no carriers that have their phones. You have to buy their phones unlocked through some sort of a third party, and then put-

: Tamam.

: And the worry is, you know, that these are somehow another controlled by the Chinese government. The Communist Chinese government is going to distribute these phones. And I don’t know if the worry’s economic influence or they’ll have too much power. I don’t know what it is. Are you paying attention on any of this?

: Pek sayılmaz.

: Hayır mı?

: I don’t think we should worry too much about Huawei phones, you know. Maybe, you know, a national security agency shouldn’t have Huawei phones. Maybe that’s a question mark. But I think for the average citizen, this doesn’t matter. Just like no, they’re not. I’m pretty sure the Chinese government does not care about the goings of the average American citizen.

: Is there a time where you think that there will be no security, it will be impossible to hold back information that whatever bottleneck we’ll let go, we’re going to give in? That whatever bottleneck between privacy and ultimate innovation will have to be bridged in order for us to achieve the next level of technological proficiency that we’re just going to abandon it, and there’ll be no security, no privacy?

: İnsanlar mahremiyet mi istiyor? Çünkü her şeyi internete koyuyor gibi görünüyorlar. Neredeyse-.

: Well, right now, they are confused, but when you’re talking about your Neuralink, and this this idea that one day, we’re going to be able to share information, and we’re going to be some sort of a thing that’s symbiotically connected?

: Evet. Sanırım bu durumda güvenlik konusunda gerçekten endişeleniyoruz.

: Ve ne zaman-

: For sure. That’s like security will be paramount.

: Elbette.

: Evet.

: But, also, what we will be. This will be so much different. Our concerns about money, about status, about where all of these things will seemingly go by the wayside if we really become enlightened, if we really become artificially enlightened by some sort of an AI interface where we have this symbiotic relationship with some new internet type connection to information? But, you know, what happens then? What is important? What is not important? Is privacy important when we’re all gods?

: Yani, bence şu anda gizli kalması gerektiğini düşündüğümüz şeyler-

: Doğru.

: ... muhtemelen ileriye dönük düşünmeyeceğiz.

: Utanç, değil mi? Bilgi, değil mi? Ne saklıyorsun? Duyguları mı? Ne saklıyoruz?

: I mean, I think, like, I don’t know. Maybe it’s like embarrassing stuff.

: Doğru, utanç verici şeyler.

: But there’s actually — Like, I think, people, there’s like not that much that’s kept private that people — that is actually relevant.

: Doğru.

: That other people would actually care about. When you think other people care about it, but they don’t really care about it. And, certainly, governments don’t.

: Bazı insanlar bunu önemsiyor. Ama ifşa olunca işler tuhaflaşıyor. Mesela Jennifer Lawrence'ın çıplak fotoğrafları ortaya çıktığında, bence bazı açılardan insanlar onu daha çok sevdi.

: Evet.

: They realized like she’s just a person. It’s just a girl who likes sex, and is just alive, and has a boyfriend, and sends him messages. And, now, you get to look into it, and you probably shouldn’t have, but somebody let it go, and they put it online, and all right.

: İyi görünüyor.

: She’s a person. She’s just you, and me, and it’s the same thing. She’s just in some weird place where she’s on a 35-foot tall screen with music playing every time she talks.

: Yeah. I mean, I’m sure like not-

: No, but she’s fine.

: She’s not happy about it, but she’s-

: Hayır.

: But she’s clearly doing fine.

: But once this interface is fully realized where we really do become something far more powerful in terms of our cognitive ability, our ability to understand irrational thoughts, and mitigate them, and that we’re all connected in some sort of an insane way. I mean, what are our thoughts on wealth, our thoughts on social status? Like how many of those just evaporate? And our need for privacy, maybe our need for privacy will be the ultimate bottleneck that we’ll have to surpass.

: I think, the things that we think are important now will probably not be important in the future, but there will be things that are important. It’s just, like, different things.

: Hangisi daha önemli olacak?

: I don’t know. There might be some more of ideas potentially. I don’t think Darwin’s going away.

: Doğru.

: Darwin’s going to be there.

: Bu kadardı, evet.

: Darwin sonsuza dek orada olacak.

: Sonsuza kadar, evet.

: Sadece farklı bir arena olacaktı. Farklı bir arena.

: Dijital bir arena.

: Farklı bir alan. Darwin bir yere gitmiyor.

: Geceleri seni ne ayakta tutar?

: Well, it’s quite hard to run companies.

: Evet.

: Especially car companies, I would say. It’s quite challenging.

: Araba işi yaptığınız tüm işler arasında en zoru mu?

: Yes, because it’s a consumer-oriented business as opposed to like SpaceX and-

: Not that SpaceX because SpaceX is no walk in the park, but a car company, it’s very difficult to keep a car company alive. It’s very difficult. You know, there’s only two companies in the history of American car companies that haven’t gone bankrupt, and that’s Ford and Tesla. That’s it.

: Yeah, Ford rode out that crazy storm, huh? They’re the only one.

: Canlarını dişlerine takarak.

: Mustang'e ateş edildi.

: Evet.

: Evet, canlarını dişlerine takarak. Bu ilginç, değil mi?

: Tesla ile aynı, zar zor hayatta kaldık.

: Katlanmaya ne kadar yaklaştın?

: Çok yakın. Demek istediğim, 2008 bir otomobil şirketi, özellikle de yeni kurulan bir otomobil şirketi ve özellikle de elektrikli bir otomobil şirketi olmak için iyi bir zaman değil. Bu aptallığın karesi gibiydi.

: Ve bu T-top'lı o havalı Roadster'ların olduğu zaman mıydı?

: Evet.

: Hedef tepesi ile mi?

: Evet. Elise şasisi oldukça modifiye edilmişti. Gövde tamamen farklıydı. Bu arada, aslında yaptığımız çok aptalca bir stratejiydi çünkü biz-

: What’s dumb?

: It was based on two false premises. One false premise was that we would be able to cheaply convert the Lotus Elise, and use that as a car platform, and that we’ll be able to use technology from this little company called AC Propulsion for the electric drive train on the battery. Premise, the AC propulsion technology did not work in production, and we ended up using none of it in long-term. None of it. We had to resign everything.

: Sonra araca bir batarya paketi ve elektrik motoru eklediğinizde daha da ağırlaştı. 30% daha ağırlaştı. Tüm yapıyı, tüm çarpışma yapısını geçersiz kıldı. Her şeyin yeniden yapılması gerekti. Hiçbir şeyin. Sanırım 7%'den daha az parçası araba ya da herhangi bir şey dahil olmak üzere diğer cihazlarla ortaktı.

: 7%?

: Evet.

: Her şeyi mi? Lastikler, jantlar, cıvatalar, frenler dahil mi?

: Evet, hatta her-

: Direksiyon mu? Koltuk?

: Direksiyon simidi - sanırım direksiyon simidi neredeyse aynıydı. Evet, ön cam. Ön cam.

: Farklı mı?

: Hayır. Sanırım ön cam aynı.

: Aynı mı?

: Evet. Sanırım ön camı tutabildik.

: But the last was 7%. So, that’s basically-

: Every body panel is different. The entire structure was different. We couldn’t use the, like, the HVAC system, the air conditioner. It was belt-driven air conditioner. So, now, we needed something that was electrically driven. We need a new AC compressor.

: Ve tüm bunlar pil ömründen de götürüyor, değil mi?

: Evet. Küçük bir arabaya sığacak ve kayışla değil elektrikle çalışan yüksek verimli küçük bir klima sistemine ihtiyacımız vardı. Bu çok zordu.

: Bu arabaların, Roadster'ın ağırlığı ne kadar?

: Sanırım 2700 pounddu.

: That’s still very light.

: 27. Hangi versiyon olduğuna bağlı olarak, 2650 ila 2750 pound, bunun gibi bir şey.

: Peki ağırlık dağılımı nasıldı?

: It was about 50 — Well, there were different versions of the car. So, it’s about 55 on the rear.

: That’s not bad.

: Arka taraftaydı.

: Doğru, ama fena değil. Tüm zamanların en popüler spor arabalarından biri olan 911 gibi düşününce. Ağır arka taraf eğilimi.

: Well, I mean, yeah. The 911, I’m not going to joke, is like the master despite Newton not being on their side.

: Evet.

: I guess, fighting Newton, it’s very difficult.

: Şey-

: It’s like you’ve got those — The moments of inertia on a 911 don’t make any sense.

: Onları anladığınız zaman işe yararlar. Anladıktan sonra-

: You don’t want to hang the engine off the ass. This is not a wise move.

: You don’t want to let up on the gas when you’re in a corner.

: The problem with something where the engine is mounted over the rear axle or off the rear axle towards the rear is that your polar moment of inertia is fundamentally screwed. You cannot solve this. It’s unsolvable. You’re screwed. Polar moment of inertia, you’re screwed.

: Doğru.

: Like, essentially, if you spawn the car like a top, that’s your polar moment of inertia. You’re just — I promise I wouldn’t swear on this show, by the way.

: Gerçekten mi?

: Evet.

: Kim demiş?

: Bu bir arkadaş içindi.

: O arkadaşına söyle gitsin kendini becersin. Küfür etmemeni kim söyledi?

: Bir arkadaş.

: He’s not a good friend.

: Evet.

: O arkadaşın-

: I said I wouldn’t swear.

: … realize you’re fucking Elon Musk. You can do whatever you want, man. If you ever get confused, call me.

: I’ll swear in private. Swear up a storm.

: Okay, just say freaking. It’s a fun way. It’s like old house moms. Wives and shit that have children, “Oh, this freaking thing.”

: Yeah. But, anyway, like the Portia, it’s kind of incredible how well Porsche handles given that it’s the physics-.

: Evet.

: Eylemsizlik momentleri çok karışık. Hala iyi çalışmasını sağlamak inanılmaz.

: Well, if you know how to turn into the corner once you get used to the feeling of it, there’s actual benefits to it. You know, there are some benefits.

: Hoşuma gidiyor. Tesla'dan önce sahip olduğum araba bir 911'di.

: Tamam.

: Bu-

: 997 mi 6 mı?

: Evet.

: 997?

: Evet.

: Evet. Harika araba, dostum.

: Yeah. I mean, particularly, the Porsche wouldn’t have the variable veins on the turbo, and it didn’t have the turbo lag. That was great.

: Evet.

: Bu gerçekten harikaydı. Turbo gecikmesi, bilirsin, eğer flört edersen, evi ara, anneni ara gibi.

: Büyük olan, değil mi?

: It’s like about an hour later-

: Evet.

: ... araba hızlanır.

: Ve çok da tehlikeli çünkü dönmeye başlayacağı ve-

: Evet.

: Yeah. There’s something fun about it though like feeling that rear weight kicking around, you know. And again-

: No, it’s great.

: … it’s not efficient.

: İyi bir hissi vardı.

: Evet.

: Evet, katılıyorum.

: But that’s what I was talking about earlier about that little car that I have, the ’93 911. It’s not fast. It’s not the best handling car, but it’s more satisfying than any other car I have because it’s so mechanical. It’s like everything about it, like crack holes, and bumps, and it gives you all this feedback. And I take it to the comic store because when I get there, I feel like my brain is just popping, and it’s on fire. It’s like a strategy for me now that I really stop driving other cars there. I drive that car there just for the brain juice, just for the-

: Evet.

: Etkileşim.

: Yani, Model S P100D'yi denemelisiniz.

: I’ll try it.

: Aklınızı başınızdan alacak-

: Tamam.

: ... ve kafatasınız.

: Tamam.

: Evet.

: Tell me what to order, I’ll order it.

: Model S P100D.

: Tamam. Jamie, yaz. Jamie, yaz şunu.

: That’s the car that I drive.

: Okay. Okay, I’ll get the car you drive. Okay.

: Aklınızı başınızdan alacak-

: Ne kadar uzağa gidebilirim?

: .. kafatasından dışarı.

: Sana inanıyorum.

: Evet.

: Ne kadar uzağa gidebilirim? Ne kadar uzağa gidebilirim?

: Yaklaşık 300 mil.

: That’s good. For LA regular days, that’s good.

: Pili asla fark etmeyeceksiniz.

: Asla mı?

: Asla.

: Şu çılgın prizlerden birini evinize taktırmak ne kadar zor? O kadar zor mu?

: No, it’s super easy. It’s like, yeah.

: Sen-

: It’s like a dryer plug. It’s like a dryer outlet.

: Didn’t you come up with some crazy tiles for your roof that are solar paneled?

: Yeah, yeah. I have it on my roof right now actually. I’m just trying it out. The thing is it takes a while to test roof stuff because roofs have to last a long time.

: Doğru.

: Yani çatınızın 30 yıl falan dayanmasını istiyorsunuz.

: Normal bir çatının üzerine koyabilir misiniz?

: No. So, there’s two versions. It’s like the solar panels you put on a roof. So, like, it depends on whether your roofs new or old. So, if your roofs new, you don’t want to replace the roof. You want to put like solar panels on the roof.

: Doğru.

: So, that’s like retrofit, you know. And they were trying to make the retrofit panels look real nice. But then, the new product were coming out with it is if you have a roof that’s either you’re building a house or you’re going to replace your roof anyway, then you make the tiles have solar cells embedded in the tiles.

: And then, it’s quite a tricky thing because you want to not see the solar cell behind the glass tile. So, you have to really work with the glass, and the various coatings, and the layers, so that you don’t see the solar cells behind the glass. Otherwise, it doesn’t look right.

: Doğru.

: So, it’s really tricky.

: İşte orada. Jaime, şuraya koy.

: Evet.

: Dostum, bu iyi görünüyor. Var mı-

: See, like, if you look closely, you can see. If you zoom in, like, you can see the cell. But if you zoom out, you don’t see the cell.

: Doğru, ama öyle görünüyor.

: Gördün mü?

: Evet.

: Like that’s hard.

: That’s invisible solar cells.

: It’s really hard because you have to get the sunlight go through.

: Doğru.

: But when it gets reflected back out, it doesn’t — it hides the fact that there’s a cell there.

: Şimdi, bunlar şu anda tüketici için mevcut mu?

: Well, we have — I think, that’s-

: Şuradaki çatıdakiler mi?

: Evet.

: That’s amazing. Oh, that looks good.

: Evet.

: Ooh, bunu sevdim.

: Bu çok zor.

: Oh. Yani, şu sahte İspanyol görünümlü şeyi alıyorsun. Bunu sevdim.

: That’s French slate.

: That’s why people in Connecticut are smoking pipes. Look at that one.

: Evet.

: That’s badass, dude. So, now-

: Bu gerçekten işe yarayacak.

: Size inanıyorum. Peki, az önce baktığımız evin üzerindeki güneş panelleri tüm eve güç sağlamak için yeterli mi?

: Enerjinizin ne kadar verimli olduğuna bağlı-

: Harcama mı?

: Evet, evet.

: Doğru.

: So, generally, yes. I would say it’s probably for most. It’s going to vary, but anywhere from more than you need to maybe half. Like call it half to 1.5 of the energy that you need, depending on how much roof you have relative to living space.

: Ve televizyonunla ne kadar saçmalıyorsun.

: Televizyonlar sorun değil. Klima.

: Klima.

: Air conditioning is the problem. If you have an efficient air conditioner, and you don’t — and depending on how — like, are you air conditioning rooms when they don’t need to be air conditioned, which is very common-

: Doğru.

: … because it’s a pain in the neck, you know. It’s like programming a VCR. It’s like-

: Doğru.

: Now, it’s just blinking 12:00. So, people are just like, “The hell with that. I’m just going to make it this temperature all day long.”.

: Right. You know how a smart home where if you’re in the room, then it stays cool, right?

: Yeah, it should predict when you’re going to be home, and then cool the rooms that you’re likely to use with a little bit of intelligence. We’re not talking about like genius home here. We’re talking like elementary basic stuff.

: Doğru.

: You know, like if you could hook that into the car, like manage you coming home. Like there’s no point cooling the home-

: Doğru.

: … keeping the home really cool when you’re not there.

: Doğru.

: But it can tell that you’re coming home, it’s just going to cool it to the right temperature right when you get there.

: Güneş panellerinizle çalışan bir uygulamanız ya da buna benzer bir şeyiniz var mı?

: Evet. Evet, öyle.

: Ve-.

: Ancak klimanın gerçekten çalışması için onu klimaya bağlamamız gerekiyor.

: Bir iklimlendirme sistemi oluşturmayı düşündünüz mü? Düşündüğünü biliyorum. Hileli soru.

: Potansiyel ürünlerin geleceği hakkındaki sorulara cevap veremez.

: Okay. Let’s just let it go. We’ll move on to the next thing.

: Bu ilginç bir fikir olabilir.

: Evet, radyan ısıtma ve tüm bunların iyi fikirler olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Şimdi, bu evlerin verimliliğini düşündüğünüzde ve güneş enerjisi ve pil gücü uygulamalarını düşündüğünüzde, insanların kaçırdığı başka bir şey var mı? Başka bir şey var mı - Mesela az önce insan vücudunun ısısıyla çalışan bir akıllı saat ve bazı yeni teknolojiler gördüm.

: It’s able to fully power that way?

: I don’t know-

: Tamam.

: … if it’s fully or if it’s — Like this watch right here, this is a Casio.

: Tamam.

: It’s called a Pro Trek. And it’s like an outdoors watch, and it’s solar-powered.

: Tamam.

: Dolayısıyla, güneş enerjisiyle belirli bir süre çalışma kabiliyetine sahiptir.

: Evet.

: Yani, eğer açıkta bırakırsanız, güneş enerjisiyle belirli bir süre çalışabilir.

: Yeah. Well, you know, like there’s self-weighting watches where-

: Evet.

: … you know, it’s just got a weight in the watch. And as you move your wrist, the way it moves from one side to the other, and it winds the watch up. That’s a pretty cool thing.

: Evet, evet.

: Evet.

: Well, it’s amazing that like Rolexes that it’s all done mechanically.

: Evet.

: There’s no batteries in there. There is no nothing.

: Yeah. You could do the same thing. You create a little charger that’s based on wrist movement. It really depends on how much energy your watch uses.

: You know what’s fucked up about that though? We accept a certain amount of like fuckery with those watches. Like I brought my watch. I have a Rolex that my friend, Lorenzo, gave me, and I brought it to the watch store, and I said, “This thing’s always fast.” I said, “It’s always like after a couple of months, it’s like five minutes fast.” And they go, “Yup.” They go, “Yeah.”

: Gerçekten mi?

: “It’s just what it does.”

: Tamam.

: I go, “Hold on.” I go, “So, you’re telling me that it just is always going to be fast?” They’re like, “Yeah. It’s just like every few months, you get like reset it.”

: O şeyi yeniden ayarlamaları gerekiyor gibi görünüyor.

: They can’t. They tried. They say, every few months, whether it’s four months, or five months, or six months, it’s going to be a couple of minutes fast.

: Tamam. Bunu gerçekten yeniden ayarlamaları gerekiyor gibi görünüyor çünkü-

: Bu boku çözmelisin.

: … if it’s always fast, you can just-

: Doğru.

: ... bilirsiniz, o tutanakları silin.

: You need to fucking kick down the door at Rolex and go, “You bitches are lazy.”

: It’s kind of amazing that you can keep time mechanically on a wristwatch with these tiny little gears.

: İnanılmaz bir şey.

: Evet.

: I mean, the whole luxury watch market is fascinating. I’m not that involved in terms — Like I don’t buy them. I’ve bought them as gifts. I don’t buy them for myself. But when I look at them online, there’s a million dollar watches out there now that are like they have like a little rotating moons and stars.

: Evet.

: Ve yaşıyorlar - Şuna baksana, Jaime ne kadar istiyor?

: I don’t know. I just picked one.

: Bunlar çok saçma tahminler. Dişlileri severim. Onları severim. Bayılırım.

: Evet. Bence bu çok güzel.

: But there’s some of these people that are just taking it right in the ass. They’re buying these watches for like $750,000 . Like, “Yeah, that’s a Timex, son.” Nobody knows. It’s not any better than some Casio that you could just buy on — Like, look at that though.

: Well, here’s the thing. If you’re a person that doesn’t just want to know the time, you want craftsmanship, you want some artisan’s touch, you want innovation in terms of like a person figuring out how gears and cogs all line up perfectly, to every time it turns over, it’s basically a second. I mean, that’s just — There’s this art to that.

: Evet, katılıyorum.

: Yeah, it’s not just telling time. Yeah, I like this watch a lot, but if it got hit by a rock, I wouldn’t be sad.

: Evet.

: It’s just to watch. It’s a mass-produced thing that runs on some quartz battery. But those things, there’s art to that.

: Yeah. No, I agree. It’s beautiful.

: Evet.

: Evet. Bayıldım.

: Yeah. There’s something amazing about it. It’s-

: Doğru.

: Because it represents the human creativity. It’s not just electronic innovation. There’s something. It’s a person’s work in that.

: Evet.

: You don’t have a watch on.

: Hayır.

: Hiç mi?

: Eskiden bir saatim vardı.

: Ne oldu?

: Telefonum saati söylüyor. Yani-

: That’s a good point. Well, if you lose your phone? Do you — Wait, hold on.

: It’s true.

: Dur tahmin edeyim, sen davasız bir adamsın.

: That’s correct. Living on the edge. Living on the edge without a case.

: Neil deGrasse Tyson. Neil deGrasse Tyson was in here last week. I’m marveled at his ability to get through life without a case.

: Bu doğru.

: Telefonunu alıyor ve bir askerin tüfeğiyle yaptığı gibi parmaklarının arasında çeviriyor.

: Doğru.

: O boku parmaklarının arasında yuvarlıyor.

: Tamam.

: It’s marvelous.

: Vay canına.

: He says that’s the reason why they do it. He said, “Would you look at someone who has a rifle, why would they do that? Why would they flip it around like that?”

: Doğru.

: It’s like, it goes to drop, they have it in their hand. They catch it quickly.

: Evet.

: So, that’s what he does with his phone. He’s just flipping his phone around all the time. I got that in Mexico. I was hoping it holds joint.

: Bir şey yapıyor mu? Açmak için ipuçları.

: Hayır.

: Sadece bir delik mi?

: It’s just a hole.

: Orada bir şeyler saklayabilirsin.

: Yeah. But like try it. Put a joint in there. Close it. You put like one blunt. One, that seems pretentious. You know, that’s the idea behind it. I bought it when I was in Mexico because I figured it would be a good size to hold joints, or it’s not.

: Bu esrar mı yoksa puro mu?

: Hayır.

: Tamam.

: It’s marijuana inside of a tobacco.

: Okay. So, it’s like posh, part tobacco a pot.

: Evet. Sende hiç olmadı mı?

: Evet. Sanırım bir kere denemiştim.

: Come on, man. You probably can’t because of stockholders, right?

: I mean, it’s legal, right?

: Tamamen yasal.

: Tamam.

: How does that work? Do people get upset at you if you do certain things? It’s just tobacco and marijuana in there. That’s all it is. The combination of tobacco and marijuana is wonderful. First turned on to it by Charlie Murphy, and then reignited by Dave Chappelle. There you go.

: Artı viski.

: Aynen öyle.

: Mükemmel. Dengeliyor.

: Alcohol is a drug that’s been grandfathered in.

: Well, it’s not just a drug. It’s a drug that gets a bad rep because you just have a little, it’s great.

: Güzel.

: Yeah, little sip here and there, and your inhibitions are relaxed, and it shows your true self. And, hopefully, you’re more joyous, and friendly, and happy, and everything. The real worry is the people that can’t handle it. Like the real worry about people who can’t handle cars and go 016 in 1.9 seconds or anything.

: Have you ever considered something that — Like, imagine if one day, everyone has a car that’s on the same, at least, technological standard as one of your cars, and everyone agrees that the smart thing to do is not just to have bumpers but to perhaps have some sort of a magnetic repellent device, something, some electromagnetic field around the cars that as cars come close to each other, they automatically radically decelerate because of magnets or something.

: Yani, arabalarımız otomatik olarak fren yapıyor.

: Fren mi?

: Evet.

: Evet. Bir şeyler gördüklerinde mi?

: Evet.

: Ama fiziksel bir bariyer gibi.

: Tekerlekler gayet iyi çalışıyor.

: Tekerlekler öyle.

: Evet, evet. Oldukça iyi çalışıyorlar. Yavaşlatılmış, bilirsiniz, 1.1 ila 1.2 Gs, bu tür şeyler.

: Is your concern that one day all your cars will be on the road, and then, there’ll still be regular people with regular cars 20-30 years from now that will get in the mix and be the main problem?

: Yeah. I think, it’d be sort of like, you know, there was a time of transition where there were horses and gasoline cars on the road at the same time. It’s been pretty weird.

: Bu çok garip olurdu.

: Yeah. I mean, horses were tricky. You know, back when Manhattan had like 300.000 horses, then figure out like if a horse lives 15 years, you got 20,000 horses dropping dead every day or every year, I should say. Every year, it’s 20,000 horses. If there’s 300,000 horses in a 15-year lifespan.

: Gangs of New York günlerinde, o film.

: Evet.

: Evet.

: It’s a lot of dead horses. You needed a horse to move the horse.

: Doğru.

: They’ll probably get pretty freaked out if they have to move our dead horse.

: Do you think they know what’s going on?

: Evet.

: Do you think it’s as hard?

: I mean, it’s got to be like pretty weird.

: Hayır, tahmin edebiliyorum.

: Like, in my mind, dragging this dead, you know, horse around, and I’m a horse.

: Sen-

: Hoşlarına gitmeyebilir.

: Do you ever stop and think about your role in civilization? Do you ever stop and think about your role in the culture? Because me, as a person, who never met you until today, when I think of you, you know, I’ve always thought of you as being this weirdo super inventor dude who just somehow or another keeps coming up with new shit, but there’s not a lot of you out there. Like everybody else seems to be — I mean, obviously, you make a lot of money, and there’s a lot of people that make a lot of money. You like that clock?

: Evet.

: Çok güzel, değil mi?

: Bu harika bir saat.

: You want one? I’ll get you one.

: Elbette.

: Tamam, bitti.

: Böyle garip şeyleri severim.

: Oh, this is the coolest. It’s TGT Promotion. What is this? TGT Studios? TGT Studios.

: Evet.

: Yeah. So, a gentleman who makes all this by hand. Yeah, it’s really cool.

: Çalışma odam tuhaf cihazlarla dolu.

: Başka bir tanesine hazır olun.

: Tamam.

: I’m sending it your way.

: Güzel.

: You want a werewolf too? I’ll hook you up.

: All right. I’ll take one.

: Okay. You want a werewolf and one clock coming up. Do you think about your role in the culture? Because me, as a person, who never met you until today, I’ve always looked at you and like, “Wow.” Like, “How does this guy just keep inventing shit?” Like, how do you how do you keep coming up with all these new devices? And do you ever consider how unusual — Like I had a dream once that there was a million Teslas. Instead of like one Tesla, there was a million Teslas.

: Tamam.

: Sadece arabayı değil, Nikola'yı da.

: Evet, tabii.

: Ve onun zamanında, onun gibi radikal bir şekilde yenilikçi olan milyonlarca insan vardı.

: Vay canına.

: It was a weird dream, man. It was so strange. And I’ve had it more than once.

: That would result in a very rapid technology innovation. That’s for sure.

: It’s one of the only dreams of my life I’ve had more than one time.

: Tamam, vay canına.

: Like where I’ve woken up, and it’s in the same dream. I’m in the same dream. And in this dream, it’s 1940s, 1950s, but everyone is severely advanced. There’s flying blimps with like LCD screens in the side of them. And everything is bizarre and strange. And it stuck with me for whatever — Obviously, this is just a stupid dream. But for whatever reason, all these years, that stuck with being. Like it takes one man, like Nikola Tesla, to have more than a hundred inventions that were patents, right. I mean, he had some-

: He’s pretty great.

: ... oldukça şaşırtıcı fikirler.

: Evet.

: Ama vardı-

: Kesinlikle.

: Onun zamanında onun gibi çok az insan vardı.

: Evet, bu doğruydu.

: Ya bir milyon olsaydı? Deneyimdeki gibi-

: İşler çok hızlı ilerleyecekti.

: Right, but there’s not a million Elon Musks. There’s one motherfucker. Do you think about that or you just try to not?

: I don’t think. I don’t think you’d necessarily want to be me. That’d be good.

: Well, what’s the worst part about you?

: Yapmalıyım. İnsanların bu kadar seveceğini hiç düşünmemiştim.

: Well, most people would, but they can’t be. So, that’s like some superhero type shit. You know, we wouldn’t want to be Spiderman. I’d rather just sleep tight in Gotham City and hope he’s out there doing his job.

: It’s very hard to turn it off.

: Yeah. What’s the hardest part?

: It might sound great if it’s turned on, but what if it doesn’t turn off?

: Now, I showed you the isolation tank, and you’ve never experienced that before.

: Hayır.

: Bence bu, sadece bu gece için onu biraz kapatmanıza yardımcı olabilir.

: Tamam.

: Yeah. Just give you a little bit of sleep, a little bit of perspective. It’s magnesium that you get from the water as well that makes you sleep easier because the water has Epsom salts in it. But may be some sort of strategy for sacrificing your — or not sacrificing but enhancing your biological recovery time by figuring out a way whether it’s through meditation or some other ways to shut off that thing at night. Like you must have like a constant stream of ideas that’s running through your head all the time. You’re getting text messages from chicks.

: No. I’m getting text messages from a friend saying, “What the hell are you doing smoking weed?”.

: Is that bad for you? It’s legal.

: Evet.

: Yani-

: It’s government approved.

: It’s not — You know, I’m not a regular smoker of weed.

: Ne sıklıkla içiyorsun?

: Almost never. I mean, it’s-

: Nasıl hissettiriyor?

: I don’t actually notice any effect.

: Al bakalım. Bir zamanlar, sanırım Ramazan ayıydı, birisi Budist bir rahibe bir miktar asit vermişti.

: Tamam.

: Onu yedi ve üzerinde hiçbir etkisi olmadı.

: Bundan şüpheliyim.

: I would say that too, but I’ve never meditated to the level that some of these people have where they’re constantly meditating all day. They don’t have any material possessions. And all of their energy is spent trying to achieve a certain mindset. I would like to cynically deny that. I’d like to cynically say, “Hey, just fuck and think the same way I do.” They’re just hanging out with flip flops on and make weird noises, but maybe no.

: You know, I know a lot of people like weed, and that’s fine, but I don’t find that it is very good for productivity.

: Senin için.

: Benim için değil.

: Yeah. I mean, I would imagine that for someone like you, it’s not. For someone like you, it would be more like a cup of coffee, right. You want to have a latte.

: Yeah. It’s more like the opposite of a cup of coffee.

: O da ne?

: It’s like a cup of coffee in reverse.

: Ot mu?

: Evet.

: No, I’m saying you would like more. More like will be beneficial to you. It would be like coffee.

: İşleri halletmeyi severim. Faydalı olmayı severim. Yapılması en zor şeylerden biri de faydalı olmaktır.

: İşleri halletmeyi sevdiğinizi söylediğinizde-

: Evet.

: ... gibi, ne açısından-

: İşlerimi halletmeliyim.

: ... sizi tatmin ediyor mu? Bir projeyi tamamladığınızda, icat ettiğiniz bir şey meyve verdiğinde ve insanların bundan keyif aldığını gördüğünüzde, bu duygu.

: Evet, yapmaktan hoşlandığım, diğer insanlar için faydalı bir şey yapmak.

: That’s interesting for other people.

: Evet.

: Peki, sizce bu, kültürde bazı şeyleri benzersiz bir şekilde etkileyebileceğiniz alışılmadık bir konuma sahip olduğunuzu fark etmenizin bir yolu olabilir mi? Yani, aslında bir yeteneğiniz var, değil mi?

: Elbette.

: I mean, you would think it was a curse, but I’m sure it’s been fueled by many, many years of discipline and learning. But you, essentially, have a gift and that you have this radical sort of creativity engine when it comes to innovation and technology. It’s like you’re just you’re going at very high RPMs.

: All the time. That doesn’t stop.

: Nasıl bir şey bu?

: I don’t know what would happen if I got into a sensory deprivation tank.

: Let’s try it.

: Kulağa biraz endişe verici geliyor.

: Ama neden?

: It’s like running the engine with no resistance. That is-

: Is that what it is though? Maybe it’s not.

: Maybe it’s fine. I don’t know.

: Ne kadar-

: I’ll try it. I’ll try it.

: Sen hiç-

: It’s fine.

: ... meditasyon ya da başka bir şey denediniz mi?

: Evet.

: Ne yapıyorsunuz ya da daha ziyade ne yaptınız?

: I mean, just sort of sit there, and be quiet, and then repeat some mantra, which acts as a focal point. It does still the mind. It does still the mind, but I don’t find myself drawn to it frequently.

: Do you think that perhaps productivity is maybe more attractive to you than enlightenment or even the concept of whatever enlightenment means. Like, what are you trying to achieve when you’re meditating all the time? With you, it seems like almost like there’s a franticness to your creativity that comes out of this burning furnace. And in order for you to like calm that thing down, you might have to throw too much water on it.

: It’s like a never-ending explosion.

: Like what is it like? Try to explain it to a dumb person like me. What’s going on?

: Hiç bitmeyen patlama.

: It’s just constant ideas just bouncing around.

: Evet.

: Lanet olsun.

: Evet.

: So, when everybody leaves, it’s just Elon sitting at home brushing his teeth, just bunch ideas bouncing around your head.

: Evet, her zaman.

: When did you realize that that’s not the case with most people?

: I think, when I was, I don’t know, five or six or something. I thought I was insane.

: Neden deli olduğunu düşündün?

: Because it is clear that other people do not. Their mind wasn’t exploding with ideas all the time.

: So, they weren’t expressing it. They weren’t talking about it all day. And you realized by the time you were five or six like, “Oh, they’re probably not even getting this thing that I’m getting.”

: No. It was just strange. It was like, “Hmm, kind of strange.” That was my conclusion, kind of strange.

: But did you feel diminished by it in any way? Like knowing that this is a weird thing that you really probably couldn’t commiserate with other people, they wouldn’t understand you.

: I hope they wouldn’t find out because they might like put me away or something.

: Öyle mi düşündün?

: Bir an için, evet.

: Küçükken mi?

: Evet. İnsanları hapse atıyorlar. Ya beni içeri atarlarsa?

: Küçükken böyle mi düşünürdün?

: Evet.

: Wow. Well, you thought, “This is so radically different than the people that are around me if they find out I got this stream coming in.”

: Evet.

: Vay be.

: Ama, bilirsiniz, muhtemelen sadece beş ya da altı yaşındaydım.

: Do you think this is like — I mean, there’s outliers biologically. You mean, there’s people that are 7 foot 9, there’s people that have giant hands, there’s people that have eyes that are 20/15 vision. There’s always the outliers. Do you feel like you like caught this, like you have got some — you’re like on some weird innovation creativity sort of wave that’s very unusual? Like you tapped into — I mean, just think of the various things you may have accomplished in a very short amount of time, and you’re constantly doing this. That’s a weird — You’re a weird person, right.

: Doğru, katılıyorum.

: Yeah. Like what if there’s a million Elon Musks?

: Bu çok ama çok garip olurdu.

: Vay be.

: Evet, oldukça garip olurdu. Katılıyorum.

: Gerçekten garip.

: Kesinlikle.

: Evet.

: Ya bir milyon Joe Rogan olsaydı?

: There probably is. There’s probably two million. I mean, I think that’s the case with a lot of folks.

: Yeah. I mean, but, like, you know, my goal is like try to do useful things, try to maximize the probability for the future’s good, make the future exciting, something you look forward to, you know. You know, with Tesla, I want to try to make things that people love. Like, how do you think you could buy that you really love, that really give you joy? So rare, so rare. I wish there were more things. That’s what we try to do. Just make things that somebody loves.

: Sen-

: That’s so difficult.

: When you think about things that someone loves, like, do you specifically think about like what things would improve people’s experience, like what would change the way people interface with life that would make them more relaxed or more happy? You really think, like, when you’re thinking about things like that, is that like one of your considerations? Like what could I do that would help people-

: Evet.

: … that maybe they wouldn’t be able to figure out?

: Evet. Geleceği daha iyi hale getirmek için yapılabilecek şeyler nelerdir? Bilirsiniz işte, bence uzayda seyahat eden bir uygarlık olduğumuz ve yıldızların arasında dolaştığımız bir gelecek. Bu çok heyecan verici. Bu beni bir gelecek için sabırsızlandırıyor. Bu beni o geleceği istemeye itiyor. Bilirsiniz, sabahları uyanmayı dört gözle beklemenize neden olan şeyler olmalıdır.

: You wake up in the morning, you look forward to the day, you look forward to the future. And a future where we are a space-faring civilization and out there among the stars, I think, that’s very exciting. That is a thing we want; whereas, if we knew we would not be a space-faring civilization but forever confined to Earth, this would not be a good future. That would be very sad, I think.

: Bu çok üzücü olurdu-

: Like I don’t want a sad future.

: ... sadece Dünya'nın sınırlı ömrü-

: Evet.

: … and the solar system itself. But even though it’s possibly — You know, I mean, how long do they feel like the sun and the solar system is going to exist? How many hundreds of millions of years?

: Well, it’s probably, if you’re saying when does the sun boil the oceans-

: Doğru.

: Yaklaşık 500 milyon yıl.

: So, is it sad that we never leave because in 500 million years, that happens? Is that what you’re saying?

: No. I just think like if there are two futures, and one future us we’re out there among the stars, and the things we read about and see in science fiction movies, the good ones are true, and we have these starships, and we’re going see what other planets are like, and we’re a multi-planet species, and the scope and scale of consciousness is expanded across many civilizations, and many planets, and many star systems, this is a great future. This is a wonderful thing to me. And that’s what we should strive for.

: But that’s biological travel. That’s cells traveling physically to another location.

: Evet.

: Do you think that’s definitely where we’re going?

: Hayır.

: Yeah, I don’t think so either. I used to think so. And, now, I’m thinking more likely less than ever. Like almost every day less likely.

: Kesinlikle Ay'a ve Mars'a gidebiliriz.

: Evet. Sence kolonileşecek miyiz?

: Bence asteroit kuşağına gideceğiz. Jüpiter'in, Satürn'ün uydularına gidebiliriz, hatta Plüton'a bile ulaşabiliriz.

: That’d be the craziest place ever if we colonize Mars, and reform it, and turn it into like a big Jamaica. Just oceans and-

: Bence yapmalıyız. Bence bu harika olur.

: Yani, hayal edin ki-

: Bu harika olurdu. İnanılmaz.

: It’s possible, right?

: Evet.

: Her şeyi Cancún'a çevirebiliriz.

: Şey-

: Yani, zamanla.

: It wouldn’t be easy but yes.

: Doğru.

: Sadece ısıtabilirsin - Isıtabilirsin.

: Evet, ısıtabilirsin. Hava ekleyebilirsin. Oraya biraz su ekleyebilirsiniz. Yani, zaman içinde, yüz milyonlarca yıl ya da her ne gerekiyorsa.

: We’ll be a multi-planet species.

: Evet, bu harika olurdu.

: We’re a multi-planet species.

: Eğer yapabilseydik-

: That’s what we want to be-

: ... yasal olarak klima gibi-

: Harika.

: ... Satürn.

: I’m pro-human.

: Ben de. Evet, ben de.

: I love humanity. I think it’s great.

: We’re glad as a robot that you love humans because we love you too, and we don’t want you to kill us and eat us. And-

: I mean, you know, strangely, I think a lot of people don’t like humanity and see it as a blight, but I do not.

: Well, I think one of those — I think, part of that is just they’ve been — you know, they’ve been struggling. When people struggle, they associate their struggle with other people. They never internalize their problems. They look to other people as holding them back, and people suck, and fuck people, and it’s just — You know, it’s a never ending cycle. But not always. Again, most people are really good. Most people, the vast majority.

: Kulağa klişe gelebilir.

: Kulağa bayat geliyor.

: Ama cevap sevgidir.

: Bu senin cevabın.

: Evet.

: Yeah, it is. It sounds corny because we’re all scared. You know, we’re all scared of trying to love people, being rejected, or someone taking advantage of you because you’re trying to be loving.

: Elbette.

: Ya hepimiz rahatlayıp birbirimizi sevebilseydik?

: It wouldn’t hurt to have more love in the world.

: It definitely wouldn’t hurt.

: Evet.

: Bu harika olurdu.

: Evet, bunu yapmalıyız.

: Evet, katılıyorum dostum.

: Gerçekten.

: How are you going to fix that? Do you have a love machine you’re working on?

: Hayır, ama muhtemelen arkadaşlarınızla daha fazla ve sosyal medyada daha az zaman geçirin.

: Şimdi, sosyal medyayı uygulamalarınızdan, telefonlarınızdan silmek size 10%'lik bir mutluluk artışı sağlar mı? Sizce yüzde kaçtır?

: Sanırım muhtemelen öyle bir şey, evet.

: Evet, iyi bir 10%.

: Yeah, I mean, the only thing I’ve kept is Twitter because I kind of like meet some means of getting a message out, you know.

: Doğru.

: Well, that’s about it. So far so good.

: Well, what’s interesting with you, you actually occasionally engage with people on Twitter.

: Yeah, that’s-

: Bunun yüzde kaçı iyi bir fikir?

: Güzel soru.

: Probably 10%, right? It’s hard.

: It’s mostly — I think, it’s on balance, more good than bad, but there’s definitely some bad. So-.

: Sen hiç-

: Umarım, iyiler kötülere ağır basar.

: Do you ever think about how odd it is, the weird feeling that you get when someone says something shitty to you on Twitter, and you read it? That weird feeling. This weird little negative jolt. It’s like a subjective negative jolt of energy that you don’t really need to absorb, but you do anyway. Like, “I want to fuck this guy. Fuck him.”

: I mean, there’s a lot of negativity on Twitter.

: It is, but it’s a weird in it’s form. Like the way, if you ingest it as if you’re like — you try to be like a little scientist as you’re ingesting it, you’re like, “How weird is this?” And I’m even getting upset at some strange person saying something mean to me. It’s not even accurate.

: Yani, olumsuz yorumların büyük çoğunluğunu görmezden geliyorum, büyük çoğunluğunu.

: Evet.

: Arada sırada, iyi olmayan bir şeyle karşılaşıyorsunuz.

: It’s not good.

: Hata yaparsın.

: Evet, hata yapabilirsiniz.

: Bazı hatalar yapabiliriz.

: We’re all human. We can make mistakes. Yeah, it’s hard. And people love it when you say something, and you take it back, and they’re like, “Fuck you. We saved it forever. I’ll fucking screenshot that shit, bitch. You had that thought. You had that thought.” I’m like, “Well, I deleted it.” “Not good enough. You had the thought. I’m better than you. I never had that thought. You had that thought, you piece of shit. Look, I saved it. I put it on my blog. Bad thought.”

: Yeah. I’m not sure why people think that anyone would think that deleting a tweet makes them go away. It’s like, “Hello, been on the internet for a while.”

: Yeah. Well it’s even like-

: Her şey sonsuza kadar.

: And the thing is they don’t want you to be able to delete it because the problem is if you don’t delete it, and you don’t believe it anymore, it’s really hard to say, “Hey, that thing above, I don’t really believe that anymore. I changed the way I view things.”

: Evet.

: Because people would go, “Well, fuck you. I have that over there. I’m going to just take that. I’m not going to pay attention to that shit you wrote underneath it.”

: It’s on your permanent record.

: Yeah. It’s forever like a tattoo.

: Like high school, “We’ll put this on your permanent record.”

: Yeah. It’s like a tattoo. You keep it.

: Evet.

: Yeah. Well, it’s this thing where there’s a lack of compassion. It’s a lack of compassion issue. People are just like intentionally shitty to each other all the time online, and trying to catch-

: Evet.

: They’re more trying to catch people doing something that’s arrestable, like a cop trying to, like, get, you know, arrests on his record. It’s like they’re trying to catch you for something, more than they’re logically looking at it thinking it’s a bad thing that you’ve done, or that it’s an idea they don’t agree with so much, they needed to insult you. They’re trying to catch you.

: Yeah, yeah. I mean, it’s way easier to be mean on social media than it is to be mean in person.

: Evet.

: Çok daha kolay.

: Evet.

: Evet.

: It’s weird. It’s not a normal way of human interacting. It’s cheating.

: Doğru.

: You’re not supposed to be able to interact so easily when the people are not looking at.

: Evet.

: You would never do that. Don’t be so mean when somebody looking in their eyes. If you did, you’d feel like shit.

: Çoğu insan.

: Yeah, unless you’re a sociopath, you’d feel terrible.

: Evet.

: Elon Musk, bu benim için bir zevkti.

: Evet, aynı şekilde.

: Gerçekten öyleydi.

: It’s been an honor. Thank you for having me.

: Thanks for doing this because I know you don’t do a lot of long form stuff like this. I hope I didn’t weird you out, and I hope you don’t get mad that you smoked weed.

: Yani-

: It’s not bad. It’s legal. We’re in California. This is just as legal as this whiskey we’ve been drinking.

: Aynen öyle.

: Bunların hepsi iyi, değil mi?

: Şerefe.

: Şerefe. Teşekkür ederim. Sevginin cevap olduğu dışında vermek istediğiniz bir mesaj var mı, çünkü bence bu konuda gerçekten başarılı oldunuz.

: No. I think, you know, I think people should be nicer to each other, and give more credit to others, and don’t assume that they’re mean until you know they’re actually mean. You know, just, it’s easy to demonize people. You’re usually wrong about it. People are nicer than you think. Give people more credit.

: I couldn’t agree more. And I want to thank you not just for all the crazy innovations you’ve come up with and your constant flow of ideas but that you choose to spread that idea, which is very vulnerable, but it’s very honest, and it resonates with me.

: It’s true.

: Ve ben buna inanıyorum.

: It’s true.

: I believe it’s true too. So, thank you.

: You’re welcome.

: Dışarıdaki tüm pislikler, kibar olun. Kibar ol, sürtük. Tamamdır. Herkese teşekkürler. Teşekkürler, Elon.

: Tamam, teşekkür ederim.

: Herkese iyi geceler.
