alt Hacker NewsIt's beyond a joke. Recently spent some time at an accelerator and the partners of the VC firm were very open about purchasing "fake" research or presenting investments as if they were from more than one "investor".
I still fail to understand how Dwarkesh Patel managed to "self-sponsor" an O-1 with a... tech podcast...

i did o1 twice and then eb1. it’s not a joke if you set expectations too high in your mind.
all visas are just about fulfilling the legal criteria. if you do that, you get the visa. same is true for extraordinary alien ones.
Podcasts are a very significant medium, and Dwarkesh is probably comfortably in the top 1% of podcasts. Isn't that exactly what O-1 is for?
