Same. I really want to like the guy, it feels like all of the credentials are there, all the stars are aligned, but his contribution always comes off as anemic and uninspired. There are plenty of times where I wish he would give more space to the guest instead of injecting something of his own that adds zero value.

Not to hate on him but the credentials are not really there. He taught a fluff seminar course on self driving at MIT and used the brand of the university to line up a ton of great guests for an AI podcast that he then pivoted into a personal brand. From what I understand his research at Drexel was focused on HCI and from the interviews that I've seen it looks like he has a pretty shallow understanding of ML.
