Lex Fridman is a fucking moron and his pretentious podcast is unbearable. These people are so dumb and unimaginative. Of course they think the test of general intelligence is the ability to be a profiteering capitalist techbro, and intelligence can be measured in how many billions you can screw other people for. Maybe when the revolution comes it will dawn on them that they were wrong. A person can dream...
Confession time... just like Elon Musk, initially I though Fridman was good. I even recommended his podcast when he started it around 2018. I was thinking "Nice, he's doing interesting technical interviews" then gradually it became longer and longer about broader and broader topics to the point I asked myself "So... is it still <>" then shortly after stopped listening entirely.
I think he's deal is networking. He started with his domain of expertise, namely AI, but then (that's just me speculating) he noticed the correlation between audience size and fame of the guest, so he tried to gradually climb the social ladder of guests, pulling bigger and bigger names regardless of the topic. He used fame from his employer, MIT, then of his guests, to keep on doing so, and it worked. I also imagined he noticed that the more controversial the broad topic was, again the bigger the audience.
So it went from technical niche to teach... to generalist discussion podcast trying to be "open" to the most outlandish views.
TL;DR: it started good IMHO but it slowly yet surely devolved into garbage indeed.
Capitalism in general, in a nutshell.
Hé may also have started employing someone to do the bookings and they had no domain knowledge?
