This book by Roger Williams came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: George Hotz. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“There is a sequel called a Casino Odyssey in cyberspace and I don't want to give away the ending of this but it tells you what the last remaining human currency is and I agree with that”— George Hotz
The guest here is George Hotz: Hacker famous for jailbreaking the iPhone and PS3; founder of comma.ai (self-driving) and tiny corp (tinygrad neural-network framework). Briefly an 'intern' at Twitter under Elon Musk. George Hotz returns for a wide-ranging, contrarian talk on AI doom, open-source as the only safe path, tinygrad, decentralizing compute, and standing eye to eye with God.
