Aside from the very interesting content, I really enjoyed how Joscha sounded kind of perpetually amused.

#92Joscha Bach: Artificial Consciousness and the Nature of Reality | Lex Fridman Podcast #101 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-2P3MSZrBM
Joscha Bach was for sure one of my favourite discoveries this year. He seems like someone who has deeply thought about many disciplines including CS, philosophy and psychology

#93Chapo episode about Avatar (the Cameron Movie). A sincere discussion of the film as an anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist film, that challenges the common view of the film as a 'white saviour' ferngully-like and attempts to explain why the film was so "un-meme-able" in contrast to recent Marvel movies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7CtTo88QOI
How is this the only reply that was downvoted? Is CTH that much more polarizing than Cumtown or True Anon? (Haven't yet listened to the episode)
I've enjoyed this year's Chapo episode about White Fragility, "No Crying in Raceball", but it has probably not aged well as the hype about the book has since died down.

#95I 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...
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.
I think OP meant to speak about George Hotz's credentials.

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

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 it hard to browse the web without bumping into his content.

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

#99Another 'The Portal' recommendation:
41: Douglas Murray - Heroism 2020: Defense of Our Own Civilization
https://podcastaddict.com/episode/114260279
Two old friends riffing off each other about the world.
I've listened all the way through twice and both times have found myself laughing out loud and deep in thought simultaneously.
I look forward to seeing how Eric Weinstein will continue to evolve The Portal in 2021. No doubt he will continue to deliver outstanding content in his own uncompromising style.

#100I 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.
