Dude let the guy talk 🙄
I agree dude, not sure why he is blocking his talk with the bunch of questions ..
Yes, the times he cuts off, it's annoying
Common pitfalls for an interviewer trying too hard to act responsively to what the respondents says.
Deadass tho, not even an interview
I came here to watch the CEO of Scale AI speak and it turns out I just saw a video of the interviewer trying to help himself rather than help the audience gain some insight.
Maybe AI can help him learn when to be quiet and let the interviewee speak until it's time to interrupt again.
@@moshfizzle925 I think Gong.IO might work for that. It's a sales coaching platform, could probably be optimized for podcast hosting.
95% unnecessary interruptions
We would love to host Alex at the Founders Connect show. Promise no interruptions:)
love how his LinkedIn says he dropped out of MIT with a 5.0 GPA, Peter Gregory would be so proud of him
Private Privacy Lmao people are so gullible. Linkedln needs a fact checking system.
@@trolololololololololololol6124 I've seen people in my network put Harvard as their education because they have seen the some of courses Harvard put on youtube. And it's not even a believable lie since I'm in Italy not even the US
Rodrigo Weilg it’s a flat lie
Hi
Who is being interviewed, Jason or Alexandr ? I don´t know any longer!!!
Been following this company and Alexandr Wang for awhile now and just recently came across his interviews. Such a terrible experience for the viewers since all we care about is seeing his perspectives and views, rather than having the host interrupt him every second.
The question of explainability is really two folds: 1) What specific factor (or set of factors) was/were most responsible for a given decision or 2) How does the algorithm trains a model and how the the data and algo ultimately drive a decision. I believe # 2 is more easily explained and more important because understanding the process of learning can hint of the model's potential pitfalls. When you have a model with 1000's of parameters it's impossible to wrap your brain around the specific combination of factors that were responsible for a specific decision.
Painful. Subject matter genius Alexandr comments are brilliant. Need to filter out the rest of the noise.
kalman filters?
@@SantoshLLC hahahahaha
@@bradleylloyd1660 lol I thought you were the ACTUAL mark zuckerberg when I saw the notification
I wish ScaleAI would separate out the two voices and stitch back only Alexandr's and then it'll be pleasing to watch this interview. He deserves a better interviewer.
He was short of words hence why the interviewer was keeping it moving
Great Interview. To quote Peter Thiel,
"AI companies will come and go as they compete to find the most effective applications of machine learning. Scale AI will last over time because it provides core infrastructure to the most important players in the space"
@Pharoah M It means it's easier to stick around when you're providing an essential service. The AI/ML companies are taking risks trying to mine gold in different areas that may not yield success, but Scale AI is just selling pants and tools.
Lidar v camera. If the combo is best how does the system decide when to use which system and when?
Auto-reply e-mails using our personal lingos is not all that far fetched, seeing how there's limited personalities it just takes a sufficient dataset to predict your personal "voice", AI can be very good at finding commonalities among large groups of people.
Why are you not letting him talk
This show is actually 25mins as the host loves his on voice and ruined
He has to collaborate with Elon Musk. I smell interstellar population already
this guy is so attractive lol
tbh he isntin person lack poise and not nice
I feel like technology has its limit you can go to the point where you can code machine to start chewing for you and what left is there to do?
I somewhat agree, but you don’t have to worry about that as technology is only an extension of who you are (for now at least). We aren’t trying to replace humans with machines
you should have let Alexandr speak more
I love how the inteviewer asks question.
it is pretty amazing.
as software engineer, I think both are very knowledgeable.
just discover this channel
he just looks arrogant
what an interviewer Jason is! xD
I'd choose to drive all day long rather than choosing our health insurance system
Can someone use AI to cut out the Interviewer's blabbering. I feels like every time the conversation gets interesting, the interviewer just go like - wow, I love that restaurant you should go try it; oh hey read this tweet; check out this blog post!!!
he just wasted a 1h30min of ceo time
The host got to stop interrupting...
Let's implement Hammurabi's Code. Have the 22 yr old CEO stand on the highway in front of the car going full speed in the middle of a hailstorm hurricane. AI excellence will be enforced in no time
Exactly, autonomous driving does not make sense if the sensors ($8k to $20k each) cost more than the vehicle itself. The cost of the technology is greater than a dedicated part time human chauffeur. Also the loss of quality at night, fog, rain, hail, smoke, bugs on cameras, dust, and many other conditions that makes the technology useless.
Bingo
This host is soooooooo freaking annoyed 😒
I want an interview - Dutch Zenith
At 1:20:28, Jason "what will this be in 20 years when you are 42. ... Obviously your company will be a publicly traded company worth a trillion dollar and you will be the richest man on the planet .... "
Ngl now i appreciate lex fridman
Nobody likes driving???
The bank teller history is definitely not a good example. The number of bank tellers went up because the population went up during the baby boom. Some things you can do at an automated bank teller, other things you can't. A.I. and automization definitely replaces jobs, this is a fact. It also creates new jobs, except those new jobs tend to be tech jobs requiring specialized skills and education. This might be hard for someone who is both young and in the tech industry to see. I've noticed a lot of high-paid tech people becoming disassociated with what its like to be a struggling middle or lower class in America. A lot of people being displaced by automization don't have the skills or openness to learn. This is why education in America needs to be one of our top priorities.
"A lot of people being displaced by automization don't have the skills or openness to learn" - if you dont have the openness to learn tough luck. We in the west have become so soft its now ridiculous. You have to adapt, that's life! One day programming will not be as relevant as it is now and it will require that particular generation to ADAPT. We cannot tell people "Oh you dont have the skills and youre not open to learn so its okay go back to bed"???? Amazing
@@mr.condoriano That's why cultivating general education is important.
People are products of their environment.
There isn't enough high tech jobs if everyone in America is a PhD in computer science... No, Automation will replace us gradually but eventually fast enough to elminate the need for human labour. We need to restructure our society and how people should run their lives.
There will be no work (in the traditional sense) in 50 years for 99% of the people. That or climate change kills 99% of people.
For the most part, I was actually fine with Jason's interview style. They were both on the same level for most of the time, and it was less an interview and more a conversation. Jason clearly knows his stuff and all his interjections were relevant/intelligent. He just needs to chill on the pre-podcast espresso
why couldn't google do what this guy is doing
Google just buys innovative companies. They haven't innovated since their inception.
If you are competing on like say self driving cars, you wouldn't share or sell any part of or any product of your algorithm to other companies. I'm sure Google has this whole thing set up in house, but if there's no Scale, they go business as usual, if Scale can reduce cost, they'd fire their in house team and source out the work to Scale.
Scale does not care, they get data, label and push it back as a service.
Good lord, you are the host not the guest ffs stop interrupting
Would this guy just shut up and let the guest speak ?
for godsakes we are here to listen to him, but this host ......
the interviewer is so rude, cant even let him finish his sentence
You rude
This host ruined this interview trying understand this man and keeps interrupting him
Jason....talks WAYYYYY too much
i wish you would interpret your guests less
The dude who is interviewing him needs to stop talking and interrupting all the time and let wang talk
OMG this guys keeps interrupting so rude, let the man speak....
i liked this guy until "nobody likes driving"
My daughter absolutely hates driving unless necessary. Changing the words to "most people" will help you a bit. Haha.
The interviewer can't even get how stupid he looks with his constant interruptions and his need to add needless comments, that he's forcing the direction ... Totally awful skills and person. Gonna catch Alexandr elsewhere. Hope this interviewer gives up the trade, become something along the lines of traffic cop or prison guard ...
