    I love this podcast. Great guests and lots to learn. Lex does a fantastic idea of asking intriguing questions all with a great sense of humor.

    I asked my friend chatGPT to sum it up for me… “Lex Friedman's podcast is like a mental workout for your brain, but with more dad jokes than a dad convention. With his soothing voice and inquisitive mind, Lex dives deep into some of the most fascinating topics of our time, from artificial intelligence to the nature of consciousness.”

    Thanks Chat GPT!!... more
