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.

> seminar course on self driving

what's self driving, you mean like, self-driving cars? driving yourself to greater heights or achievement?
