Replying to tolot

The fella is a Phd in Computer Vision at MIT, which means that it's reasonable to assume that he knows pretty well the field of Computer Vision, which is a subset of the broader universe of Machine Learning.

Leaving aside my assumptions for a moment, the guy happens to have tens of peer reviewed papers and articles ranging from deep reinforcement learning to AI explainability. I never said that he knows to press buttons in a pythonic way (even though I assume he definitely can).

Preferences are a different matter, I respect yours.

I jumped in there only to point out my view about his work and how he approaches his interviews.

Since I was asked to report where and if the guy is competent on the matter of ML, I simply provided some references.

Appreciate the refs, will check out eventually.

My “Lex is an idiot” standpoint predominantly rests on his commentary when speaking with Bitcoiners—Alex Gladstein in particular. I haven’t listened to Lex speak to anyone else, except Eric Weinstein.

Bitcoin is a one question IQ test that AFAIK, Lex has consistently failed. (Eric Weinstein also fails this test)

Of course, there are three results of the #Bitcoin IQ test. 1. A. People who get it and are good people 1 B. People who get and are evil people (idiot) and 2. Stupid

Eventually he'll get it. I'll take a look at that interview. Frankly, I try to avoid watching stuff about bitcoin from the normie world...it usually is heavily biased by the lack of actual study of the matter.
