I wouldn't be that harsh with it but yes kind of.

He's the gateway to intellectual content like the Rich Dad Poor Dad book is the gateway to personal finance. I'd say he serves an important role.

I also think it's kinda funny that Sam Altman IS Richard from Silicon Valley and basically a top 10 most powerful human on the planet at this point.

Huge retard related to anything not tech - definitely.

The older you get you realize most geniuses are just people who dedicated their whole lives to the study of one thing or things in a common area.

Being well rounded is ideal but most will never become that.

I hate Lex for the same reason - he sounds so out of his depth when talking about non scientific/technical subjects

Lex is a dweeb that gets no a*s. I don’t know why everyone in the YouTube/Spotify podcast space keep pushing him. It’s almost coordinated like traditional media.

I think he does that on purpose. You can tell he's an intelligent person but he asks questions like he's a normal person that doesn't understand these things. It helps with the regular audience that isn't educated in the things they are talking about.
He has some straight up scientists on sometimes like physicists and if he didn't ask questions in that way it would chase away the normal audience that couldn't even understand

i don't think it's on purpose i think he's genuinely dull of mind

You talking about Lex? If so he definitely is not dull. He is an intellectually curious genius. There is definitely no “posturing “

Guy is a well rounded individual, knows all about computer science, coding AI. He is a scientist and lectures at MIT. He is also a black belt in various forms of martial arts

yeah this is a good example of what i'm talking about actually - you were confused about whether i was talking about something i was clearly talking about, and you find lex fridman's psuedo intellect grindset thing impressive. he seems like a genius to stupid people

I don't agree with this at all. I think he's a genuinely curious person that just asked questions in a way that regular people can understand.
I have listened to some of his podcasts with super smart people and he can keep up with them and always knows what they are talking about.
Sometimes the questions other people would call dumb questions are the best ones to ask, especially for a less educated audience and I think that's what he's doing.
I could never say lex doesn't know sh*t. Ain't like I know him personally but just from listening to the podcast alot no matter what they talk about he's educated in.
Physics, rocket engines, ai. I've heard him be educated and well spoken on many topics but like I said I feel like he tries to be a normal guy and make it so that his podcast is digestible by the masses. You don't wanna put out a show that 95% of people can't even listen to if they wanted to because they don't understand

I know people whom have been close to dude for years. He’s a genuine guy and crazy smart. The problem is even the most benevolent person would eventually be corrupted by the unchecked power this dude is about to have. He’s even scared of how much power he’s about to be wielding.

He talked about a UN type organization to help govern AI progress. That is needed ASAP. OpenAI was supposed to be that but they obviously switched lanes so now we need another objective third party.

I promise you it is not that serious. I am sure you are highly intelligent with all your degrees. Only on Bx is an MIT professor not an intellect. Comical

I know a couple people who know him as well. But leave it to Bx posters to claim someone isn’t smart and is a poser. fu*kin dweebs
