I like his podcast, so he's my guy at least. I don't remember why but I hear /g/ dislikes him.

His podcast in incredibly awkward (he's neither a good host nor a good interviewer) and, more importantly, pointless. Just another place pseuds can get off to thinking that they're listening to the greatest intellectuals of modern society, and also for crackpots like Wolfram and Weinstein to try to peddle their voodoo.

This. I gave his podcast a try starting with the Nick Bostrom episode, and it was fucking terrible.

he reminds me that no matter how hard you try, sometimes it's just not good enough

I thought the one with Bjarne Stroustrup was nice. The one with Harry Cliff was nice if you want to know some trivia about the LHC.

>starting with the Nick Bostrom
No idea why you would do that. Like with most podcasts the quality depends on the guest and topic.

>>11887124
he is very socially retarded and asks nothing but boring stupid questions
sounds like /sci/'s guy to me

>>11887363
That's true but that leaves a lot of room for interpretation for guests which allows them to speak at length instead of it just being a dull, bullshit interview.

This is my exact feeling too - He's an insanely hardworking "normie" in a field of genii.

He's exactly how most of us "+90th percentile" people would be in this sphere.

Must be nice to be surrounded with people that are smarter than you, but at the same time so depressing.

This was before I realized Bostrom is a pseud.

Any suggestions to make it better? Or are you just gonna shit in the food without saying how you'd cook it.

Who?

Lex should just cancel his podcast because he doesn't have the right personality to elicit amusing conversations. This goes for nearly everyone else in the podcasting world - they're all dry and boring.

He made me lose hope.
If you strap masks of girls on 3 logs of woods, he's the guy who'd kill people to kill the "artificial intelligence."

Tools should not be considered human, "robot rights" will fuck because of people like him, because once big corps can make play-pretend ""conscious"" things, they will sucker punch humanity into the abyss for redundant profit

Yes.
Find someone that can string two sentences together.

INTJ problems :^(

God is real. Check em

>>11887124
are you fucking kidding me? the dude is a pseud on a good day – thinks he's all deep because he wrote a shit thesis from a shit school and read one dostoyevsky novel

>NOOO YOU CAN'T JUST DISLIKE THINGS ONLY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ALLOWED IN MY SAFE SPACE NOOOOOOO

Comes off as super phoney and uninteresting desu

I think his podcast is ok but its not great. He seems like a nice guy.
