Michael Levin recently appeared on the Lex Fridman podcast*, and here he goes over much of the same amazing material, but along with a visual presentation.

There was also a good conversation as well with him on Curt Jaimungal's podcast.

How is the sentiment about Lex. Friedman here btw? I have only tangentially seen him and he seemed to be quite full of himself?


He gets good guests and asks interesting questions. His interview of Demis Hassabis was great for example, and Yann LeCun was good too. He went extremely deep with John Carmack.

Some of his interviews seem to skew a bit more religious / alien theory and I just skip those.


Personally I can't stand him. So much so that I can't bring myself to watch his interviews, even if the topic is interesting and the questions well asked.


Lex certainly seems to be divisive.

What's your take on Curt Jaimungal (in a parent comment)?


Overconfident, underinformed. Inserts random philosphical views seemingly unrelataed to the topic being discussed.
