I got to spend all day today with Jensen in Taiwan: talking with thousands of engineers and eating street food at a night market. Jensen is received as a rockstar in Taiwan, like it's Beatles in the 60's. It's mind-blowing and fun to watch. But most importantly, through all the interactions and all my conversations with him, he remained the same humble, kind, thoughtful, funny guy he always was, even as a kid who went to these same night markets many years ago. Btw, we tried a crazy amount of different street food. It's legit some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I can't wait to share video of it, including a ton of our conversations and hangout. When I can pause for a moment from all the travel to edit the video, I'll post it. Can't wait to continue talking to Jensen and engineers at Computex this week, and exploring more of Taiwan, and of course roaming the night markets for some more delicious street food. Days like these, even more than usual, I feel like the luckiest kid in the world. Love you all! ❤️

I'm traveling the world for a bit, starting with China but then hopping around the globe, anywhere. Open to any adventure. No plans, only a backpack. Hoping to meet & get to know humans from all walks of life. The pic is from a long hike on the Great Wall. For me, as a fan of history, this was an epic experience. In China, first I'm visiting a few big cities & talking to engineers at the heart of China's AI revolution. After that, if feeling crazy enough, I'm hitchhiking (first time) across rural China for a few weeks. Hitchhiking because I think it's the best way to meet rural folks who I would otherwise never get the chance to meet. I hope to do the same in US and other places. I have a request, if you have a travel recommendation, fill out the form(s) below if you feel like it. Or share with folks who might have advice about such travel. Form 1 - travel recommendation: If you can, recommend to me an interesting place I should visit anywhere in the world. For this, fill out form 1. Not touristy stuff, but something off the beaten path, that tourists may not know about, but is legendary. It could be as remote as meeting a herder in the mountains who is a local legend. Asia, Middle East, Europe, India, South/North America, Africa, Australia, anywhere. In China, I'm hoping to visit maybe Heibei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan, etc, so recommendations for spots to visit are helpful. Form 2 - coffee: If you want to grab a coffee with me anywhere in the world, fill out form 2 (please don't use form 1 for that). Anyway, I hectically tossed stuff in backpack. Realizing I don't have a clear plan of any kind, which is probably the only way to do it. LFG. Love you all ❤️ Form 1 - travel recommendation: https://form.jotform.com/261303042756046 Form 2 - coffee: https://form.jotform.com/230415467865159 General contact: https://lexfridman.com/contact/

Я люблю вас всех ❤️ This life is fucking amazing. I'm so grateful to be alive, with all of you on this miracle of a planet. Oh and I'm sorry if I fuck things up sometimes. I'm a flawed human. But I promise to do whatever I can to try to add some more understanding and love to this world. After the world leader convos I get attacked intensely by all sides, and many disparate online communities. It has led to some really low points for me mentally. But I don't matter. I'm listening. I'll do better. And I'll try to find the strength to do more of them, always with rigor and backbone, seeking to truly understand. And despite accusations, I do extremely high amounts of research, sometimes 100+ hours for a conversation. Ask many of my previous guests. But when I come to the table, I put all that aside, and make it all about the other person. I don't ever try to sound smart. I know the vastness of my ignorance. But I'm trying. Sometimes I do fuck up and sound like a douche, or do something incredibly cringe. And I hate myself right after. But I'd rather fail and embarrass myself a million times, than not do what my heart says is right. And besides world leaders, historians, CEOs, engineers, etc, this year I want to travel the world and talk to a lot more everyday people on and off the mic. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Anyway this is written while on I'm on a 10 mile run, probably procrastinating, since to type I have to walk and not run 🤣 But I did just get stopped by a super smart and kind girl who works at a humanoid robotics company here. And she asked if she can give me a hug to thank me for being me. Sometimes the universe sends you a message that even a dumb dude like me can almost hear. I really needed that today. Thank you for the hug and the kindness 🙏 I'm just hoping she was real and I didn't just imagine that 🤣 Then again if I went full crazy might as well enjoy it! Back to the run. I love you all! ❤️

Для меня было большой честью провести время с Дженсеном Хуангом, CEO NVIDIA, и записать с ним большой подкаст в длинном формате. Получился очень увлекательный и глубокий технический разговор — и в кадре, и вне микрофона. Один из самых блестящих и вдумчивых людей, которых я когда-либо встречал. NVIDIA — самая дорогая компания в мире по рыночной капитализации и один из главных двигателей революции в области ИИ. Подкаст, скорее всего, выйдет уже завтра (в понедельник), если я не увязну в слишком большом количестве интересных разговоров, бегая по Сан-Франциско ;-) P.S. Я уже несколько дней не проверял сообщения. Простите, что так медленно отвечаю 🙏 Стараюсь сохранять глубокую концентрацию в это невероятно напряжённое время и, честно говоря, еле держусь. Люблю вас всех! ❤️ === It was an honor to hang out with Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, and do a long-form podcast with him. Really fun & fascinating technical deep-dive conversation on & off the mic. One of the most brilliant & thoughtful human beings I've ever met. NVIDIA is the most valuable company in the world by market cap and is the engine powering the AI revolution. Podcast probably out tomorrow (Monday), unless I get stuck in too many interesting conversations while running around in SF ;-) PS: I haven't checked my messages in days. Sorry for slow replies 🙏 Trying to stay deeply focused in an overwhelmingly intense time & barely hanging on. Love you all! ❤️

It was long conversation in podcast with Lex Fridman Podcast will be out in couple of weeks 🎙️ Думаю получилась интересная беседа, через пару недель выйдет подкаст.

Сегодня поборолись на матах а завтра уже будем на его территории бороться ))) Lex Fridman 🤝

Here's my conversation with Paul Rosolie, his 3rd time on the podcast, about his intense recent experience in the Amazon Jungle of a full-on encounter with the warriors of an uncontacted tribe. We show never-before-seen footage of this encounter. It's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen, and the whole story is fascinating. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-FRe5AKmCU Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2MAi0BvDc6GTFvKFPXnkCL Podcast: https://lexfridman.com/podcast Вот мой разговор с Полом Розоли — он в третий раз на подкасте — о его недавнем напряжённом опыте в джунглях Амазонки: полноценной встрече с воинами неконтактного племени. Мы показываем ранее никогда не публиковавшиеся кадры этой встречи. Это одна из самых невероятных вещей, которые я когда-либо видел, и вся эта история просто завораживает.

С Новым Годом! Happy New Year! ❤️

Merry Christmas! Love you all ❤️

Я редко об этом говорю. Но в семидесятых я был пилотом Медельинского картеля. Другие времена были, проще.

Спасибо за поздравления с днём рождения 🙏 Я благодарен за ещё один оборот вокруг Солнца на нашей странной маленькой планете — вместе с вами. В этом году я много путешествовал и говорил с людьми из самых разных сфер жизни и уголков мира. Эти встречи только усилили мой оптимизм относительно будущего человечества. Мы, люди, — в целом хорошие. Я люблю вас всех ❤️ ———— Thank you for the birthday wishes 🙏 I'm grateful for another year around the sun, on this strange little planet of ours, with all of you. I've traveled a lot this year, and got to meet & talk to many people from all walks of life. The more I did, the more optimism I gained for the future of humanity. We humans are a good bunch. I love you all ❤️

Новый выпуск о Чингисхане и Монгольской империи с Джеком Везерфордом. Начну публиковать выпуски здесь. Весь разговор был невероятно интересным. Но помимо истории Монголии, в конце Джек рассказал историю из своей жизни и о любви к своей покойной жене. Я часто об этом думаю. Он по-настоящему прекрасный человек. New episode on Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire with Jack Weatherford. I'll start posting episodes here. The whole episode was truly fascinating. But outside of Mongol history, at the end, Jack tells a story about his own life, and the love he had for his late wife. I think about that often. He is a truly wonderful man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1H1Ob7jk8Q

Провёл эту неделю в Дубае (первый раз) и завёл кучу новых друзей, включая вот этого козла. Дубай — потрясающее место, не похожее ни на что из того, где я когда-либо был, с очень интересными людьми самых разных слоёв общества. Какое безумное приключение эта жизнь. Я благодарен судьбе за всё это ❤️ --- I've spent this week in Dubai (first time) and made a lot of new friends, including this goat. Dubai is a beautiful place, unlike any I've ever been to, with super interesting people from all walks of life. What a wild ride this life is. I grateful for all of it ❤️

Жизнь полна интересных сюрпризов. Я заехал в Париж и встретил этих двоих — Павла и Джека — поболтали о жизни и свободе. Было ощущение, будто всё это часть какой-то симуляции. Почти уверен, что фото сгенерировано ИИ. Я благодарен за эту жизнь и за вас всех 🙏❤️ ---- Life is full of interesting surprises. I stopped by Paris and ran into these two (Pavel and Jack) separately, and we had an amazing conversation about life and freedom. The experience definitely felt like part of a simulation. I'm pretty sure the pic is AI generated. I'm grateful for this life, whatever it is, and for all of you 🙏❤️
