His interviews were really interesting in the beginning, but now I feel like I’m watching the same episode for the 40th time.

So insufferable. Wish he would just let the interviewee talk instead of him rehashing his same uninteresting thoughts every episode.

usually i just tap the right arrow key a bunch of times the second the camera cuts to lex and he opens his mouth. it genuinely makes the interviews much more palatable.

He didn't ask my question, darn. He turned the various camera questions people asked into a vague camera question. Kind of figured that would happen. He tends to not get into specific questions which is unfortunate.

This guy did not answer anything, and he just repeated stuff that he heard from Elon. They spent 5 minutes talking about self driving, and all he said is that it's harder than we thought.. no word on how they scammed a billion dollars from people in exchange for a software that can't work even in mild rain or snow, and could be made illegal to use on roads at any time.

Are you sure Elon didn’t hear it from him? Why would anyone think the influence is the other way around?

It’s Reddit, the only thing Redditors are “certain” of is that rich white man = evil and manipulative, and scientist = angelic and transparent.

Considering your proposition would literally implode their minds.

Wow, that is one stupid comment. It's not a question of who influenced who, the point is that he didn't say anything truthful. Andrej Karpathy is not angelic and transparent, he has consistently misrepresented FSD on behalf of Tesla.

Imagine calling a comment stupid when you don’t even understand the conversation.

His arguments sound like problems of tesla. Having multiple teams, dealing with different supply chains, the cost etc are all tesla problems. Elon doesn't want to deal with it so he convinced Karpathy. To be honest, I'm not sure how much he believes it himself. He isn't going to disagree with Elon in public.

Thanks for the nice episode. Don't see a point to criticize the talk they had, but instead enjoy all the interesting parts (such a the books, e.g.).

how do you even watch such long 3+ hours of interviews? I'm curious as to how people watch such long videos, do they just sit & watch it in one go or they spread it out over multiple sessions ?
