> Even Mr. Patel’s nontechnical guests — interviews with the military historian Sarah Paine account for four of his 10 most popular episodes — tie back, if not directly to A.I., then more broadly to the near-future.

Always thought that his best podcasts are with Sarah Paine, and the data agrees. Yet she only gets one passing reference in a 20 min article?! I know that it goes against the angle the piece is going for, but shame all the same.

That said, after the AI buzz dies down, he's got an easy transition into international relations.

Also, to be clear, I think Dwarkesh is one of the best interviewers out there. Him, Russ Roberts, and Brett McKay are the only podcast interviews that I know of that actually read the books and do the homework before the interview. So many other outfits out there just go into the interview like Larry King, with no homework done and no prep.
