As this is only episode 6 the podcast domain is pretty new to us^, so would definitely welcome feedback on question choice or my style as an interviewer. We tried focusing much more on research than other interviews out there such as Lex Fridman&amp;#x27;s, would be curious to hear if you think that worked well.&lt;p&gt;^(we&amp;#x27;ve existed as a digital publication focused on AI for way longer, see thegradient.pub if you&amp;#x27;re curious.)</text></comment>
