Dwarkesh Podcast
Dwarkesh Patel
In-depth conversations with experts like Eric Jang and Ilya Sutskever on AI, science, and technology.
Why we picked this
We picked Dwarkesh Podcast because the host treats long-form conversations as rigorous cross-examinations rather than promotional stops. Each multi-hour installment focuses on frontier technology, artificial intelligence, and the mechanics of large-scale systems without watering down the technical details for a casual audience. The host reads primary literature, pushes back against evasive answers, and returns repeatedly to first principles. Subscribing to the feed gives you a durable, unfiltered map of how the people building the future understand their own work.
