https://twitter.com/lexfridman/status/1605313821744041984 Is Lex actually a prominent researcher at MIT? His PhD is from some school called Drexel that is ranked extremely low for CS (400-450).
Drexel is pretty well known in the US, especially in the East, where in the US are you from?
It's ranked extremely low for CS (400-450). To be fair, I'm from Canada and moved to the US recently.
University of phoenix is more known than Drexel tbh.
No doubt he is smart. But he is protecting his brand which is pretty cring.
He’s the real tech swindler. Welcome to the world of internet pumped profiles. everyone overhypes themselves. They take an online course from Stanford and suddenly they are a Stanford alumni. But they in fact got their associate degree in plumbing from their local community college In Idaho.
Nailed it.
Looking at university rank is naive and dismissive. What’s more important is the output- publications and research or even teaching contributions that have been made. I don’t know enough on him to make any positive or negative judgement but I though I’d say this before people jump in and start shitting on school names.
> Looking at university rank is naive and dismissive. All the top schools are ranked high though. MIT, Harvard, Stanford, CalTech, Princeton, CMU, etc.
That’s not as relevant to research as your advisor and your contributions.
What part is fake? Any proof?
What has he published?
Yeah I was always skeptical... he spends way too much time doing podcasts, I doubt he researches anything novel. Could be wrong though, his podcast guests are quite good, though hes a bit underwhelming
It doesn’t really matter where your degree is from. Research Scientist is quite low on the academic totem pole though, fyi. It’s not like being a professor. Closer to grad student or post-doc.
He’s a post doc RA or RS.. it’s not as impressive as he’d like you to think. I have a friend who’s a PHD from some random Uni in Florida, and he’s a RS in Stanford.
