Listen to a few of Lex's podcasts (his own and his appearance on Joe Rogan) before you dismiss his interviewing style and/or tone. You may very well learn to appreciate it and his breadth of technical knowledge as much as the quality of his guests, which probably the highest of any technical podcast so far.

Lex here. Thank you for this. Words of criticism can hurt pretty bad these days, so this kind of support really helps. Thank you.

If it helps, remember that paradoxically the better you're doing the blunter the criticism will be. If this were some fledgling little podcast run by a nobody, it would feel cruel to criticise too harshly. But this is the freakin' Lex Fridman AI podcast, the untouchable juggernaut at the top of its game. What could I say that could possibly hurt something (and someone) so successful?

Of course, I'm sure you don't feel untouchable, but maybe there is a certain cold comfort in knowing that inconsiderate criticism is a hallmark of becoming an institution. Keep up the good work, man.
