Customer Reviews
Fascinating
Lex, thank you for doing this. I can only imagine the preparation each episode takes, including selecting and finding time with guests. Special thanks for not doing the typical 15 minutes interviews on these topics. Your "show" (and I hardly use this word here) is a constant reminder that I am missing friends I can talk with at length, exploring, or even debating topics like these. If there was one show I had to pick for the future of humanity to understand the tech hurdles and challenges we are going through these years, it'd the Lex Fridman podcast. I wish you all the bests and the strength to keep this up until your stamina lets you!
Hall of Fame guests
Lex’s podcast is like listening to Hall of Famers of AI Gods, Futurists and Big Thinkers to challenge your way of thinking via stimulating conversations.
A pleasure to listen to.
Great guests, great host and great topics. What more do you want?
