i just dont get it. lex says "lets re-frame the question: can a language model drive a car?" this doesnt have any insinuations about andrej's intentions or motives. if it were calling out bullshit it would be "lets re-frame the question: why is elon musk never wrong?"
lex kisses elon musks ass, last time i checked hes on musks side in the lidar debate and also lex has a record of listening patiently no matter what and i have never known him to check people or "call out their bullshit." lastly, what andrej did wasnt a bullshit move. re-framing a question has never been known as something people do only when they are being deceptive and it is very common in intellectually honest answers/explanations in my experience.
im still shocked because usually i see what other people see. but people calling this a dig/bullshit came out of left field for me. i hope i dont miss stuff like that more than i realize...
edit: i read your comment again and i didnt read it right. he panics, gives himself some more room, lex acknowledges this but in a prickly way. it makes sense but im still upset because when i watch it all i see is lex making a joke. i guess i have severe autism.

- jholman 4y agoSee my sibling comment, but I agree with you, especially about Lex's track record, and I think the other commenters are projecting. And you're right, reframing a question is like THE MOVE for academics, so it's completely not evidence that Andrej was making "a bullshit move" (although it's also a classic move for PR flaks, so it's possible he was making a bullshit move).
