Two hours and no one mentioned Lex Fridmans podcast on AGI? Interesting. Hard to pinpoint a specific episode, here is last weeks episode [0] with Stephen Kotkin, on "Stalin, Putin, and the nature of power". Fridman has a lineup of one-of-a-kind guests, each providing an individual perspective on -to me- interesting topics, mostly in the scope of artificial general intelligence. I'm looking forward to check the other references here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCkkjnpS2f8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCkkjnpS2f8

Agreed, Lex Fridmin was a standout podcast for me this year. I didn't have any idea who he was before the podcast but he has been getting some insanely famous guests on his show in what seems like the very year it was becoming popular. My favourite episode of the podcast was his interview with Geohot I think because I just like hearing Geohot speak and when he's speaking to someone that's not asking easy questions you end up with George giving some very interesting answers to questions about AGI and self driving. https://pca.st/0773 https://pca.st/0773

  Geohot was great. I immediately bought a comma ai eon kit after listening to it. My fav was Gary Marcus though. Really showing what breakthroughs we’d need to make to truly have intelligent AI. Without it self driving cars and conversational AIs are always a decade away. I immediately bought his book “Rebooting AI” afterwards too. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/artificial-intelligence-ai-podcast-with-lex-fridman/id1434243584?i=1000452144918 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/artificial-intelligenc...

    Wow, if your Eon is installed and everything, how is it? Would love to buy a full eon and everything but I don't have a compatible car yet, will definitely make sure that my next car is 100% comma compatible though. Thanks, will check out that episode!

      Love the Eon. Use it almost every day. Does what it says it does. Keeps the car dead center on a lane. Think about Eon as a device that turns the car into a train that follows rail tracks. In this instance, the rail tracks are the road lanes. Works amazing on highways.

I second the AGI podcast. Listen to it on my commute. Very interesting since it’s just not about computer science but all sorts of fields and a diverse array of experts that he interviews.
