Lex Fridman bills himself as being somehow vaguely associated with MIT, while Nassem Taleb seems to be claiming that he's not.

Personally, I went through his Github and his Google Scholar citations and couldn't really find much that he's actually coded or built. He's written a lot of articles, but it seems to be more from a non-technical, opinionated perspective...more of a humanities person.

But, I don't really pay attention to this guy, I just keep seeing him pop up in my feeds.

This market will be adjucated based entirely on personal opinion based upon research and links submitted by participants, demonstrating how Lex Fridman may or may not be a, "True" Computer Science Researcher in the coding and building sense of the word, vs. one who pretends to be.

This market could resolve to a probability based upon the consensus of the participants.

If I were to put my default opinion as a probability at this point, I would say it's a 50/50 for me right now, I just don't know.

Your Votes:

YES - means, you agree with the above statement, he's not really the real deal, couldn't code or math his way out of a paper bag.

NO - means, you disagree with the statement...he has real, "hard core," engineering bona fides, does not bullshit and spew out hashtags and key words, can build interesting novel predictions, or at least make a good effort intending to discover some with a broad range of past experience, without a ton of help or study time needed.
