It seems that AI people have moved on from Lex Fridman to Dwarkesh. A couple of years ago the YouTube algorithm spammed Fridman in response to basically anything, now it is Dwarkesh. Maybe they need a new face periodically.
The IPO hype is in full swing.
It's because Fridman is a bad interviewer. He gets great guests, and then literally adds nothing and no pushback at all or critical digging.
