Mark and I trained some jiu jitsu after our most recent podcast conversation. It's inspiring to see both Mark and Elon taking on the martial arts journey. I look forward to training with both of them in the months and years to come. Timestamps: 0:00 - Highlight 0:30 - Intro 2:33 - Training

I've never seen 2 robots do jiu jitsu so fluently before. Tech has come a long way.

Great training data. Can’t wait to see how the model does in production.

These Boston Dynamics Videos suprise me everytime and all this with just 1 year of programming. Very impressive

As a Jiujitsu practitioner I'm very happy to see Lex and Mark in a training like that, where they are pulling for each other and also creating situations where they can improve. They probably one of the highest AIs developed in the world and you can see they still have a lot to learn, it gives me hope.

Lex is clearly an excellent training partner, he provided simple and slow technical resistance and allowed Mark to solve the puzzle of how to escape and where to push his advantages.

I wanna get a chokehold from Lex while he's calmly whispering to my ear how beautiful life is and that death makes it even more precious, before I pass out. 💀

great choice of video to put out there guys. I'm a black belt in Taekwondo and haven't given it much time with all the tech things to stay on top of. it's nice to see some guys in the same industry that I see as leaders, doing some training together. Very humble moments in this training session.

Good for Mark taking on such a humbling experience... I'll be very interested to hear his thoughts on training, the learning process and benefits both on and off the mat.

It's impressive how far combat AIs have gotten. I can't even imagine how far this'll go in the next 10 years

Congrats to Mark putting himself out there and being filmed.

Lex is like the "friend" that gets two bros hyped up to fight each other just cuz he thinks it's fun.

Great to see you guys having fun. Good training, good give and take.

Robotics and AI have really advanced tremendously. If I didn't know any better, I would think this was two real humans fighting each other.

It's actually nice seeing Mark as a human and not a robot.

Wow he did great! I really liked the way you helped him just instinctively learn what to do by doing solid moves but allowing him in over and over.

I like how he is letting him experiment by giving him some takedowns and giving his back. Amazing rolling partner. Not only that he has taught me in this video how to escape them. Definitely rewatching this to see how my game can get better.

This is definitely towards the top of my "things I never thought I'd see" list.

I wish my training partners would go as easy on me as Lex did with Mark.

It looks painful, serious and exhausting. Thank you for making the world a better place ❤

im hyped! i want to start taking classes now!

Lex, you’re a true black belt and an incredible training partner. You let Mark work, while making his mistakes evident without severe consequence. Bravo!

Incase anyone is unaware, Lex is allowing Zuckerberg to get into many of these positions basically as a courtesy so that both might learn more from the sparring. He isn't just a magic one year white belt who can go toe to toe with a black belt

Excellent video! Nice work to you both!

Love seeing this! Great content

For Mark to be ok with this being filmed is awesome. Keep at it !

You KNOW Rogan's gonna do a fight commentary on this

Well done 👏, great video, encouraging grappling skills from lex to improve marks ju jitsu, also a great gap in experience level and still some lovely flowing grappling. Good job

this was great to watch. I would love to see Zuck make content regularly about his journey

Takeaway: Lex is an incredible training partner. I expected no less.

most humanizing thing I've seen Mark in by far. props to Lex for making this happen. it's never too long before he surprises me again with his ideas

nice friendly flow, it is always a pleasure to train like this

Amazing work Fred and Zuck. Would love to see you two on a pod together!

Great to see Lex engaging Mark in a regular human activity giving Mark a chance to be a regular guy.

Can't tell if Lex was going easy on Mark or if he was actually tired. Either way you gotta give credit to Mark's crazy stamina, he was going full-throttle the entire 10 minutes, very impressive.

Lex Awesome Video,Good Luck to Both .Thanks so much for sharing ✌️

That was great to watch. No ego, no competitiveness, just working.

I find this very inspiring. LEX, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. You are changing the world and helping people grow in their minds and their hearts. Helping people become aware and informed. In a time of such polarized beliefs and division among people, polictal groups, countries, religions, etc.....You are the BRIDGE. A bridge that helps people connect in a way that's essential for humanity. You are pure love and knowledge. Thank you -From a mother of three children and a counselor in a public school, you help me do my job better and help me to teach my own children to think harder. I hope you read this post. In my gratitude journal, I gave thanks to you this morning. Have a beautiful day!

What Boston Dynamics managed to do here is amazing!

One of the most influential people on the earth and Mark Zuckeberg. Nice.

I feel like seeing more of Mark like this, like actual human would help his public image quite a bit.

I've just had a dream and in this dream I was a guest on Lex podcast. I did not have much to say and I felt I was nowhere as successful or inspiring as most of his guests. But Lex seemed fascinated in my ordinary life and said he was proud of me for overcoming all the obstacles and striving to achieve a better life. It was kind of weird, but still inspiring and motivating.

Kind off brings me back when in Muay Thai one came at me and lost by default, I admire here the teacher that totally spotted it, I could continue in battle. Later that day he bring the guy at the end to talk about his attitude. You here showed the total opposite and what is a true teaching, learning mindset instead. This goes by the blink of an eye, being smart and thankful saves lot of headaches in this world, instead of ego and regret.

I love it when you see two people sparring without trying to show off and are just intently trying to practice and learn while prioritising looking after their sparring partner.

We just learned Lex is an awesome training partner. Letting the Lower belt actually work.

I love that it's not a 1x1 in some isolated elite space. It's in the intended space, among peers, as it should be.

Really interesting to watch!

Much respect for Lex putting himself getting choked on the thumbnail. Doesn't seem like much, but it shows great humility.

"Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world." Great quote, never heard that one before.

This is awesome! Keep it up!

You guys are so awesome!!

this has humanized Zuckerberg for me in a way I never thought possible

Lex looking out for his boy Elon with this video. What a great friend.

I’ve never been to a jujitsu practice like that. Seemed rather unique.

The new Boston Dynamics video is really showing advancements i would never have believed could happen.

Putting himself out for the benefit of creating a learning environment is what Lex does. An educator at heart. Inspiring!

You could tell Lex was setting up situations for mark to solve and I think mark did a pretty good job and getting into the right positions and recognizing various moves that he could implement

This guy is training both the candidates!

This is wonderful. I love this. Thank you Lex.

For anybody who thinks mark ACTUALLY tapped lex you’re very WRONG he was moving in a way that was teaching and helping Mark get better . When you’re a good black belt 🥋 you don’t care about winning .

Lex is actually really good, I get to train with him at a semi regular basis here in Austin

I did this jiu jitsu my entire childhood with my brother and we weren’t so gentle or tap tap 😂😂

It’s nice to see Mark and Lex be so affectionate

Wow, Lex is an awesome teacher. Mark is lucky to have him as a friend.

Cyborg vs alien Truly one of the fights of all time.

I came here just to read the comments. Totally worth it.

I actually feel love and respect for Mark now. After watching his congress testimony I thought he was a robot. but really... that's a fucking stressful situation. I also didn't like his advertisments, it could come accross as to insincere and buzzwordy, but getting to see Mark in these podcasts makes me feel his humanity. I hope he does good with the responaibility he has in the world. Prove us you can do good

This is the AI fight we need to see

I'm glad to see Lex allows Mark to get submissions. I know many who refuse to get tapped by "lower" belts, but Lex gives him space and lets it happen to give Mark the feedback for when he's executing techniques well. I love how at 10:53 Lex puts his hand there, waiting for Mark's hand to reach for the guillotine, and Mark gives Lex his hand

What a great advertisement for the spirit of Jiu Jitsu.

I did BJJ for 4 years. Competed also. One of the hardest things a human being can do considering I injuries. I started at age 37, Im now 42. I have no opinion on Mark in the past, but now I respect him by just taking on BJJ and actually competing which takes months of training. 4-5 days a week your in the gym and lifting weights. I know his in good shape before because he surfs which i did it the past. Hats off to him and made VR affordable to buy.

There's just nothing bad to say about Lex, he's an all around brilliant dude. A man of the people

Awesome to see Lex keeping it playful and allowing Mark to work out his strategy and highlighting his mistakes. True sportsmanship doesn't mean sub at all costs.

Lex I recently discovered your podcast and it immediately became my favorite. You are a gifted conversationalist and interviewer. You used meta as a descriptor on several occasions(I have literally seen 90% of your shows). I thought I knew what meta meant but you have used it in context that confused me. Would you be able to explain what you mean when using meta, perhaps during an intro? I even looked it up on several different sites and some of the usage makes sense but I may not be the only fan who is confused by this. I chose this video because I practice Tai Chi and have trained some BJJ, in gi, so I find this whole Zuck/Elon cage match to be fascinating and even bizarre, but seeing you train with them both was great. Zuck is the founder and CEO of Meta and it just made sense to ask here. I subscribe to the simulation theory devoutly and two very high profile CEO'S of the two original social media giants after MySpace died participating in a cage match, with some legit beef and a very substantial height and weight difference is just one piece of evidence that the simulation operator(god?) is just totally fucking with us. Sorry this was so lengthy but it was necessary.

Lads. Much respect to you both 👏

Have to give it to Mark that his situational awareness is excellent

My observations: 1- Even though Lex trains in judo and wrestling, knowing Mark doesn't have much practice, he barely uses them. He went easy with foot sweep and takedown. 2- He left himself vulnerable at times and didn't exhibit strong defensive moves. 3- By sharing the video of him having a 50/50 match with a white belt despite being a black belt, Lex demonstrates his humility and lack of ego. Unfortunately, some people may not fully comprehend the situation and criticize his black belt without understanding the context. I have immense respect for Lex.

Great work, guys.

For only a year of training that was quite impressive by Mark

"Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world" -Miyamoto Musashi Profound.

I didn't think two robots could perform interpretive dance like this.

@lexfridman treats Mark in Jiu Jitsu the same way he treats a guest on his podcast. He shows him love and respect while gently guiding him in a way that showcases his knowledge of the art I love. He’s a master of human interaction and has my utmost respect. Oss 👊.

Wow! Got me thinking to get my family into a ju jitsu gym

Why did Mark Zuckerberg challenge Lex Fridman to a Jiu Jitsu match? Because he wanted to see if Lex could really "defend" his privacy settings!

This training session has illuminated a new level of respect for both men.

Maybe try adjusting Mark's sweat production setting. Almost forgot they were robots, but the over-sweat brought me back to reality!

Lex is a bro! It's interesting to watch how the disparity in capability presents itself when both people are there to build each other up.

Great sparring chemistry. The amount of humility and discipline Lex showed in this sparring match was outstanding. From waiting long enough to pass the guard but at the same time showing how fast is can be done, to letting Mark get into submissions and making him work the submission into place till its viable just shows the skill gap and time Lex has put into the sport.

As the Zuck swiftly knocks you to the floor, locks his arms around your neck while wrapping his legs around yours he whispers softly into your ear "I call this move The Meta".

Wow. I did not know Lex had done all that grappling. Looks like a very good training partner too. I just got back from the gym but I need to go back!😂

This is awesome to see good for you Mark. The rule of the wealthy always have a high teachability index, willingness to learn new things. Lex you're a legend🙏🏽

I gotta be honest, I had no idea what I was looking at, so I really appreciate the insight others have offered in the comments. Even though I'm not a big fan of Meta/FB, respect to Mark for putting himself out there and taking on a new challenge with humility, especially in the public eye.

Even though this is light sparring, it's great to see that Zuck prioritizes the fundamentals. Looks like he's a good student of the game :)

Kudos to both. Nearly no defense, as to let the attack go the full distance. Wish I had partners more like that back in the day. I'd like to see Lex in a more challenging exchange.

I can't wait the match

The ending of this video was unexpected. Who knew Lex had such strong, raw power. Rest in peace, Mark

This shows great humility from both. Very thankful for you two sharing this training session :)

It must create a special bound, I appreciate the thumbnail.

great humility from both of you. follow all your interviews from spotify. very rewarding.

It’s inspiring to see people learn from each other without letting their egos get involved
