Podcasts are the future. You can actually get to know and understand who a guest is, instead of seeing them play "truth or dare" on a talk show.

[DannySullivanMusic]

The devs have got to be thrilled with how human Mark sounds in this patch.

[lgc]

Right out the gate with the "am I a robot test" lmfao Lex is a legend

[bitcole]

Lex: "Bathroom break?
Mark: "Sure."
Lex: "That was another test."

[BadLipReading]

The traffic light test got me good. Well done, Lex

[NefariousEpoch]

Lex has finally interviewed the most advanced robot ever made.

[ButterflyElsy]

"Can you circle all the traffic lights please"

Zuckerburg laughing because he already did a system update to to beat the CAPTCHA's

[paradisianway]

Damn, AI has improved A LOT. I could almost mistake him for a human now.

[dalebrindley]

For most people, this will actually be the first time they have seen Mark in a free flowing conversation with someone they trust to make it as genuine as possible. Massive respect to Lex. He's an incredible human/AI

[xmidge]

This is probably going to be the best PR move on Zuckerbergs behalf of his whole career. It somewhat humanized himself to a degree… that or the AI has been upgraded not sure

[briancarpenter]

This is either going to be the most human conversation Zuckerberg has ever had or the most robotic conversation Lex has.

[MrCallingoccupants]

It pleases me that this guy was lucky enough to get an interview with the great Lex Fridman.

[tartuffethespry]

Lmfao having him circle the stop lights to start was the funniest thing I've seen in a while

[chris.soonja]

I'm glad to hear what a person says, and not just hear what other people say about him. Valuable.

[YeonmiParkOfficial]

Thank you for everything you do in the world, Lex!

[AlokSardesai]

It is fascinating to me how far we've come....from an AI interviewing humans to an AI interviewing AI.

[Nadir]

Lex has managed to humanize Zuckerberg in my eyes for the first time, or maybe it's just that I've never heard him speak for such a long period of time unscripted and openly, or maybe the AI is just getting really good now

[slothguy_]

it's amazing to see two AI talking to each other

[lowtdave]

Seriously, I am really happy to see Lex has been able to create a platform where people of Zuckerberg's position are willing to go on.

Just amazing and he deserves it.

Congratulations
