He's actually autistic, so he might act like an asshole even if he doesn't realize it.

Lex clearly doesn't have a clue about old school programming, I think most of what Dave said went above his head

time to move on to better things

Dave has decent videos sometimes but Lex is impossible to listen to. I'm sure Dave will post some clips if he said anything interesting, which he probably didn't because Lex asks the stupidest questions.

Dave seems a bit like an asshole but lex fridman is the most pathetic content creator I ever saw
>>
>>106474502
what do you mean? he speaks slowly and softly and I didn't like melatonin because I'd have trouble waking up the next day. Are you saying it'd be less miserable actually listening to him talk?

Isn't Dave Plummer some sort of spammer scammer from the 2000s? There was a story that broke out that he was infecting windows pcs with adware after he left Microsoft. It's fitting he did a podcaster with another scammer, Lex Friedman. Friedman lied about being an MIT professor and inventing Tesla's AI. He also took down a podcast he did with his dad because his bookshelf had pro-zionism books in the background so now only the audio version is available.
>>
>>106475653
as far as I can tell he's been involved in a lot of shady dealings, and worse he denies it all or plaays it off as a legitimate business venture, the liz holmes defence when he obviously knows better
>>
>>106475653
What DOES he actually do? Allegedly Computer Science of some kind, but still asks dumb questions to people like Plummer and Geohot.

>>106474270
big tech people are assholes

>>106474270
david is 100% confirmed piece of shit. i still haven't forgotten about how i added a whole bunch of text to his wiki page about his scamware business, then he tried to delete all of it. only some it remains (posted below)

if anyone doesn't know:
he used to sell software in the 90s that claimed to do certain things, which it didn't do, and use scary warnings to get people to give him money. he was prosecuted by state of washington, fined and lost his business.

>"In 2006, SoftwareOnline was sued by The Washington State Attorney General's Office for alleged violations of the Consumer Protection Act after complaints were made about two products called "Registry Cleaner" and "InternetShield". SoftwareOnline agreed to pay $150,000 in civil penalties, plus $250,000 that was ultimately suspended following compliance with all terms in the settlement, as well as $40,000 in legal fees"

Sorry to hear you chose the path of negativity and hate. Lex is all about love
>>
>>106476022
Everybody knows because each time one of his videos is posted here, you spend the day reminding everyone. But no one cares. No one ever cares. Still, you post it over and over again, pretending it's some secret knowledge even though it's been on Wikipedia forever.
>>
Does Dave stare into his eyes the whole podcast like he does in his videos
>>
>>106476157
I'd love to be given an undeserved reputation as well, I'd be the reincarnated dali lama for a few million. Shit.

> pretending it's some secret knowledge even though it's been on Wikipedia forever.

>wikipedia
the mental breakdown is complete.
>forever
i added most of the text about his scamware career. i love being able to live rent free in his barren single digit iq mind. it's really nice and comfy knowing that i've helped to remind the world of just how much of a loser david really is.
>every time
i've rarely been here in a few years so you're just a lying faggot. i can't ever imagine being such a sad simpleton to rush to the defense of a loser like david that got btfo by his own state. lmao. you seem mad. i wonder why? is that you, david?

What player is this?
>>
>>106476635
saw it on reddit https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1n6od0s
not a fan of the muh nostalgia steam ui but the functionality is admittedly pretty good
>>
>>106476721
>not a fan of the muh nostalgia steam ui
For sure, it feels like a mockery of the real thing too since this runs hundreds of times slower, being web based (https://cs16.samke.me). Cool software though and I want to see more like it.
>>
>>106476855
lmfao yeah, wonder if using that steam UI is even allowed legally. I wouldn't allow it if I were them so that it doesn't get shat on and disgraced like this.
>>
>>106475748
Has he ever done a video about it? It was pretty big news.
>>
>>106475653
See >>106474527 (w enderman video as always)

>>106476997
No but he said this in his discord, then tried to take down the video with a copyright strike
>>
>>106477696
(the copyright strike attempt)
>>
>>106474270
>Did you watch?
No, Lex Fridman is a hack. A faggot pretending to be a MIT researcher.
>>
>>106475966
that other anon is exagerating somewhat. he was on various research teams for autonomous vehicles and had a minor, non-tenured teaching position at mit for awhile, which gave him the idea for the podcast. he has a phd from drexel. i don't recall his claiming to have 'invented' tesla's systems; a lot of people say he claims shit that i have never seen him do, because 4chan spends most of the day finding or inventing shit to seethe about. it's the only way we still feel. most of what he does these days is getting high and doing his podcast. i am pretty sure he's high all the fucking time. he's a chronic stoner. fair enough to, as probably his podcast means he doesn't have to do anything else.

if you want to know how he get's all these high-profile guests, that's because his extended family are russian and ukrainian jewish oligarchs. i'm pretty sure he has at least cultural and probably personal connections to the founders of google through this (they're russian/ukrainian jews as well). so it's all just networks.
>>
>>106475653
He sure has lots of pro palestein people on his podcast considering that…

>>106474270
So contrarians, whats a good podcaster?
>>
>>106477790
>So contrarians, whats a good podcaster?
just smoke a lot of weed and talk to yourself.
>>
>>106475653
>He also took down a podcast he did with his dad because his bookshelf had pro-zionism books in the background
Lex took them down because his dad is a professor at Drexel and he's really insecure about the fact that Drexel was his alma mater and not MIT. Lex has been actively scrubbing the internet of info that exposes the fact that he actually has no connection at all to MIT.
>>
i'm still mad to this day that the only proper jim keller interviews are with this guy and he didn't seem to understand even what a branch is
>>
>>106476501
He scammed retards so he deserved the money.
