I once outed fraud and Likud spy Eric Weinstein a few years ago. charlesjohnson.substack.com/p/fraud-or-spy… Today we are going to do Lex Fridman.
Fridman has a lot of unaccounted for time. Nine years between high school graduation and university graduation.
We’ve already discussed how Fridman is probably a Likud spy and an academic fraud.
Fridman is also an academic fraud.
Just as Fridman’s PhD is fake from a disreputable university so too is his postdoctoral associate position. Who paid for this?
Who is behind this fellowship?
My guess is that it has a lot to do with this $10m donation from Elon Musk to the Future of Life which was set up by MIT professor Max Tegmark who was the first guest on Fridman’s podcast. techcrunch.com/2015/01/15/elo…
What is this AgeLab’s position Fridman is associated with?
What is this Advanced Vehicle Technology Consortium that Fridman is involved with?
Fridman is listed as research alumni but I don't see much of anything else about him, except that written by himself. mit-agelab.netlify.app/blog/tesla-fsd…
Seems Reimer and Fridman were working together. Reimer seems like the real deal (calling out Tesla), while Lex dropped of the radar there because he is clearly a fraud. Might be worth reaching out to Reimer for the background on Lex's time there. news.mit.edu/2017/mit-agela…
More evidence that Fridman is a fraud. thedrive.com/tech/27359/mit…
I'm going to make an educated guess here that AgeLab got conned into bringing Lex Fridman in, and then canned him when he just became a joke.
Lex Fridman was just pumping out pro-Tesla studies. This is just a Tesla press release with MIT branding. web.archive.org/web/2018072522…
The video here is just a Tesla advertisement. web.archive.org/web/2018060410…
They just seem to have set up cameras on cars and then filmed things. A hell of a lot of icing and very little cake here. arxiv.org/pdf/1711.06976…
This paper is just pure narcissism. arxiv.org/pdf/1810.01835…
Like what is this @lexfridman ?
Here Fridman is on a paper that has Reimer's name. Lex is the only one with contact details added. It is just more "we put cameras in a car." arxiv.org/pdf/1710.04459…
