Stop looking to talking heads on podcasts to tell you how you should think about the world.
I enjoy Lex’s longform style but man he does nothing journalistic, which drives me crazy. He’ll ask a hard question but never pushes back on answer cause he’s concerned about being friends with everyone moreso than actually challenging someone’s PR answer that never exists in reality.
When your topic is AI, and it’s at the forefront of national attention you’re pretty useless if you don’t have the stones to actually challenge these pie in the sky type answers the regulars give on his show.
Altman “It’s going to make money useless and probably result in massive unemployment. But I think everyone should have some say in the development in AGI and how we handle it.”
Lex “Wow that’s so noble. Anyways, do you think we can have AI friends someday.”
Like you don’t have to be mean or rude but you gotta have the courage to press some of these guests on their bullshit.
I also don’t like that he sometimes interrupts his guest or just starts talking about something about himself instead of asking follow-up questions.
He talked with some cool people, but oh god, oh fuck, his muskiemania is too strong to ignore: https://youtube.com/watch?v=oJHb5a3ggzE
I’d ask who tf that is, but I’m worried you’d tell me.
I swear, the moment I started subscribing to The Deprogram, and its hosts and some of the guests, YT started throwing Bencil Sharpener, Joe Brogan, and Lex into my feeds. I didn’t dog into him too terribly much, but I just assumed I was seeing his videos pop up for the same reason I saw the other two.
A very dull man indeed.
When you’re right you’re right
Oh great another Guy to learn about
I mean he is a computer science researcher… so they are different.
I watched one episode of Huberman Lab and the next day my entire feed was Lex and Joe. Then I watched like ten more episodes of Huberman Lab and it went back to normal
Edit: I did like the Lex episode where he sparred with Mark Zuckerberg though that was cool

This is the first, and hopefully the last, time I’ve ever seen that name.
But successful grifts will inspire cheap knockoffs.
Joke’s on you: I hate em both.
