Awesome you should get more Sarah Paine in there though she was great maybe she could talk about Stalin or Hitler that would be great maybe you could put me in touch with her

Dwarkesh Patel is one of the most thoroughly prepared and best informed interviewers in the field. Unlike Rogan, who just rambles and interjects his own nonsense, or Lex Friedman, who is horribly boring, Dwarkesh does the hard work of really understanding what his guests are talking about and bringing out the best in them. As a retired professor in the Ivy League and MIT used to the highest level of intellectual discussions, now working with AI, I look forward to listening to every one of his podcasts.

Dwarkesh has real conversations with guests instead of just nodding along. Esp love how he cooked Chollet 😅

Dwarkesh is unprepared, tedious and simply not a good interviewer. I found this podcast because of Sarah Paine and her lecture portions were excellent, but Dwarkesh’s whole approach to the interview portions was garbage. He’s not ready for this.

You have guests who know their subject matter yet your oneupmanship and speed talking makes your podcast unlistenable. Thank you for having Sarah Paine on. The sections where you’re not talking are excellent and the only reason I gave any stars.

How is this popular?! Uptalk much? Non sequiturs? Who is this for?

Ok, I had to listen to Dwarkesh since folks seemed to rave about him. It’s only “amazing” if you factor in the fact that he is a relatively un knowledgeable about various topics. It’s like a college physics sophomore at a 2nd grade college interviewing and challenging, I don’t know, Richard Feynman 🤷🏽‍♂️ Annoying and not worth it

This podcast is a hidden gem, but not for long.

Tried to listen to the recent semiconductors episode and it was like a competition to see like who could talk the fastest and drop like the most arcane terminology with these guys who like maybe just finished grad school or something and maybe they’re credible, maybe not, who knows but they talk a good game in a like performative way. Not sure who this is for but it’s not for me.

Well prepared host, mostly interesting guests, with exceptions, but if you have time to read 700-page books and do three-hour long interviews, maybe you can take a few minutes to properly introduce your guest and the topic. The total disregard for listener background knowledge is frankly a little arrogant.
