Dwarkesh Podcast
Dwarkesh Patel hosts deeply researched, long-form interviews about artificial intelligence, compute, and history. Guests range from AI researchers and lab leaders to historians and economists, and the conversations start from primary sources and a field's structural questions rather than the week's news.
