It doesn’t matter. It is simply not possible to adhere to such a reading schedule while also doing anything else. The level of phoniness of this guy is outstanding.

Is one (possibly impractical) claim enough to declare someone outstandingly phony?

(Not a huge fan of Lex myself, just curious if there's more to this story)

Take a look at his “A day in the life” video, or how he boasts about half marathon runs typically preceded by meditations on the horros of WW2 and followed by “deepwork on tensorflow”, all on the same “typical” day. Or how about the time he boasted on Twitter about going to Ukraine to try and get Zelensky and Putin together on a podcast to stop the war through the power of love (his whole schtick). Talk about peak narcissism and phoniness… This is to say nothing of his claim to be an “AI researcher.”
