I can't find the link but there was a podcast earlier in the year, around February I think, with Bob Iger and the strategy for Disney and Disney+. It's stayed with me as the timing for the launch was almost perfect with the lockdown 1 starting here in the UK.

#112I loved this interview Lex Fridman had with George Hotz. He's very opinionated original thinker with the credentials to back it up. He runs comma.ai, sellers of a device that can plug into many cars and drive for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwcYp-XT7UI&list=PLrAXtmErZg...

I'm listening now and enjoying it. Very relatable as I have an 80s horror movie I saw one scene of when I was a kid and I still have not been able to find it. Haunts me to this day. A family is outside all afraid and some force is tugging a chain into the sky.
I had a scene that haunted me as a kid and I thought there was no way I'd ever find it (literally had little more than the fading scenes from the dreams). And this year I found it. I'd always remembered it wasn't a cartoon or live action - but something in between. So it turns out it was the scenes of 'death' from Jim Henson's "The Storyteller". Just something about the creepy face that did it as a kid. Was definitel…

I'm a big fan of BG Fogg and his Fogg Behavioural Model for understanding behaviour change.

Credentials? Lex has no such thing. Hes an imposter leveraging his association with MIT. His work was never peer reviewed and he shills for tesla. When he was called out on this he started to sensor people on twitter for highlighting these facts. Lex is a fraud. I can't believe how easily some people are duped into belief. But then I remember Joe rogan probably has the biggest podcast flowing on earth.
Forgive my ignorance, but why do you believe he is a fraud? There are a lot of public 'scientists' who have never been peer-reviewed. I have enjoyed listening to quite a bit of Lex's content and to say 'Lex is a fraud' without any proof strikes me as unfair. I did a quick search to try to check your assertions but didn't find anything troubling. My only gripe about Lex is that he is annoyingly good at SEO and I find…

Lex kisses rogans ass hard because he knows its going to get him more followers he can exploit.
On a personal level, I find lex to be dull and offer little to no insight in the tech realm. Just another dude who got on board the AI hype train and is trying to ride it into dollar bill land at the expense of people who lack critical thinking abilities when it comes to this kind of stuff. An endorsement is not always a true seal of quality.
Edit - let's not forget the censorship an blocking people on twitter. Lex is a shill.

I think OP meant to speak about George Hotz's credentials.

Wow, I sense some serious hate there, but I'm still wondering what your actual issue with people making podcasts is.

What fraud are podcast hosts committing? I listen to him for the guest, they look real enough and not AI generated.

I haven't listened to the Disco Demolition Night episode. There was a good treatment of it years ago on the short-lived Gimlet podcast Undone: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/undone
