AI / Technology / Science / Philosophy
Long-form conversations exploring AI, robotics, science, technology, history, philosophy, and the nature of intelligence. Hosted by Lex Fridman, an AI researcher at MIT. Known for deep, multi-hour interviews with leading figures in tech, science, and beyond.
Nathan Lambert and Sebastian Raschka deliver a technical deep-dive into the 2026 AI landscape: the US-China race, why Claude Opus 4.5 hype is a "meme," Google's TPU advantage over NVIDIA margins, and OpenAI's GPU constraints. Refreshingly honest practitioner perspectives.
Naturalist Paul Rosolie provides riveting first-hand footage of his October 2024 encounter with the Mashco-Piro uncontacted tribe. A rare, legitimate first-contact documentation with historically significant footage—plus cartel threats, giant anacondas, and 130,000 acres of protected rainforest.
The Google/Alphabet CEO's most revealing interview: 480 trillion tokens per month, a "self-modulating p(doom)" theory, and why he thinks AGI is "slightly after 2030." Plus the refreshingly honest "AJI" framing.
Bold predictions about AGI by 2026-2027, deep dives into scaling laws, and candid concerns about AI power concentration. The Anthropic CEO's most revealing interview.
The OpenAI CEO's first major interview after the November 2023 board drama. Candid about the personal toll, strategic about the narratives, and careful about AGI predictions.
The Turing Award winner makes a contrarian case: LLMs are a dead end for AGI, JEPA is the path forward, and open source AI is safer than proprietary alternatives.
Musk's fourth appearance covers Israel-Gaza "conspicuous acts of kindness," Ukraine stalemate predictions, China's rise, Grok AI philosophy, and the Fermi paradox. Engineering genius meets geopolitical confidence.
The first podcast conducted in VR with photorealistic avatars. Impressive tech demo, but how do Zuckerberg's Metaverse timeline predictions hold up two years later?

The Lex Fridman Podcast features in-depth conversations with some of the most influential minds in AI, technology, and science. While many episodes offer genuine insights, some guests make claims that warrant critical examination.
Our focus: AI claims, technical accuracy, and separating hype from reality in discussions about artificial intelligence, AGI, and the future of technology.
