Disappointing that he would cozy up to the right wing like this. There are many other places where he could spread the same ideas without implicitly endorsing fascist ideologues.

It’s embarrassing to see more people in the science world caught up in Lex’s grift. OP should look into Lex’s ties with the intellectual dark web and his actual track record of taking a one-off course at MIT then calling himself an “MIT AI researcher”. He is a laughing stock among AI researchers. His assessment of Tesla’s autopilot used incredibly biased methodologies and was essentially 100% debunked by his “peers”. He is 100% likely to be funded by Elon Musk and probably Peter Thiel to be a funnel that draws innocent STEM people into the libertarian intellectual dark web….and it’s clearly working. He is Joe Rogan for STEM people, boosting Jordan Peterson’s neckbeard pseudo-science to unwitting dupes.

Edit: OP knows about Lex’s grift but decided to ignore it because they’re such a big fan of the guest. THIS IS THE GRIFT. It’s called the “libertarian funnel”. Watch even a second of this on your YouTube account and you’ll be inundated with military industrial complex propaganda disguised as engineering videos.
