Lex Fridman's PhD thesis is now available

Can anyone comment on the quality of research?

I have scanned his paper. I‘m not specialized in human machine interactions. Thinking about his methodology I can’t help, but suspect the test isn’t suited to really correlate certain human machine interaction patterns with individual human characteristics in all circumstances. Correct me, if I‘m wrong, but he says
>Each day they were assigned two tasks. The first was an open-ended blogging task, where they were instructed to write blog-style articles related in some way to the city in which the testing was carried out. This task was allocated 6 hours of the 8 hour workday. The second task was less open-ended. Each employee was given a list of topic or web articles to write a summary of. The articles were from a variety of reputable news sources, and were kept consistent between users except for a few broken links due to the expired lifetime of the linked pages. This second task was allocated 2 hours of the 8 hour workday.
Both tasks encouraged the workers to do extensive online research by using the web browser. They were allowed to copy and paste content, but they were instructed that the final work they produced was to be of their own authorship.
Seems like a specific kind of task. There isn’t really any indication of these patterns being consistent throughout varying tasks.

Ever heard the saying that "traitors get shot first"? Musk used to be the darling of the plebbit IFLS! mob. Then he came out against COVID restrictions. Next he announced he was leaving California (leftist nirvana) for Texas (leftist hell). So the leftists now hate him not only for being a heretic against the Church of Covid and the Holy Land of California, but also because they feel betrayed after slobbering all over his knob for a decade.
People hate Lex because he's an arrogant midwit who acts like he's one of the most important scientific minds of his generation. Also he's a terrible interviewer but because he somehow gets good guests, his interviews are spammed everywhere.

The stupidity peaked with the Hyperloop. Anyone with questions about the engineering realities of the system were shouted down by his fanbois with crap like
>if people like you existed in the 1400s, Columbus never would have discovered America
>we're never going to have warp drive if negative nancys like you ruin everything
>it's all there on page 86 of his white paper, can't you read?
Page 86 would have a couple of sentences of the "then a miracle happens" variety, but his fans who also fell in love with Solar Fucking Roadways, were sure that everything would magically work out.
The best thing to happen to Musk in the long run was the coronavirus because it allowed him to shed all of the IFLS! fans who were becoming more of a liability now that his companies are established and no longer are in the "meme, get attention" phase.

I answered both questions but I'll repeat the answer for you.
I dislike Lex because 1) his interviewing skills are terrible and 2) he's arrogant far beyond what's appropriate for his accomplishments 3) his self promotion tactics are Nigerian tier
I don't dislike Musk, I was explaining the history of his fandom and how they turned on him after treating him as being beyond questioning.
