Credentials? Lex has no such thing. Hes an imposter leveraging his association with MIT. His work was never peer reviewed and he shills for tesla. When he was called out on this he started to sensor people on twitter for highlighting these facts. Lex is a fraud. I can't believe how easily some people are duped into belief. But then I remember Joe rogan probably has the biggest podcast flowing on earth.

Forgive my ignorance, but why do you believe he is a fraud?

There are a lot of public 'scientists' who have never been peer-reviewed.

I have enjoyed listening to quite a bit of Lex's content and to say 'Lex is a fraud' without any proof strikes me as unfair.

I did a quick search to try to check your assertions but didn't find anything troubling.

My only gripe about Lex is that he is annoyingly good at SEO and I find it hard to browse the web without bumping into his content.

It looks like at least a few of his papers have been peer-reviewed: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=wZH_N7cAAAAJ

I think OP meant to speak about George Hotz's credentials.

No I meant Lex Fraudman. Hotz is good in my book, the guy can actuary write code an has pulled sonys pants Down in a major embarsment for them. Kudos to hotz

Wow, I sense some serious hate there, but I'm still wondering what your actual issue with people making podcasts is.

What fraud are podcast hosts committing? I listen to him for the guest, they look real enough and not AI generated.
