alt Hacker News> more interesting podcasts out there
For deep dives into AI stuff google deep mind's podcast with Hannah Fry is very good (but obviously limited to goog stuff). I also like Lex for his tech / AI podcasts. Much better interviewer IMO, Dwarkesh talks way too much, and injects his own "insights" for my taste. I'm listening to a podcast to hear what the guests have to say, not the host.
For more light-weight "news-ish" type of podcast that I listen to while walking/driving/riding the train, in no particular order: AI & I (up to date trends, relevant guests), The AI Daily Brief (formerly The AI Breakdown - this is more to keep in touch with what's released in the past month) and any other random stuff that yt pops up for me from listening to these 4 regularly.

I can't think of an interviewer who interjects their viewpoint more and tries to get his guest to acknowledge/agree to his typically shallow level analysis than Lex. The only redeeming quality about his podcast are the guests he gets. I don't think Dwarkesh is great but he's leagues better.
Lex as in Lex Fridman? I'm baffled that anyone would say that Lex Fridman is a better interviewer than Dwarkesh. Fridman is the one who continuously rambles some incoherent nonsense and completely lacks the intelligence and knowledge to ask reasonable questions.
