He's actually autistic, so he might act like an asshole even if he doesn't realize it.

Dave has decent videos sometimes but Lex is impossible to listen to. I'm sure Dave will post some clips if he said anything interesting, which he probably didn't because Lex asks the stupidest questions.

Isn't Dave Plummer some sort of spammer scammer from the 2000s? There was a story that broke out that he was infecting windows pcs with adware after he left Microsoft. It's fitting he did a podcaster with another scammer, Lex Friedman. Friedman lied about being an MIT professor and inventing Tesla's AI. He also took down a podcast he did with his dad because his bookshelf had pro-zionism books in the background so now only the audio version is available.

as far as I can tell he's been involved in a lot of shady dealings, and worse he denies it all or plaays it off as a legitimate business venture, the liz holmes defence when he obviously knows better

david is 100% confirmed piece of shit. i still haven't forgotten about how i added a whole bunch of text to his wiki page about his scamware business, then he tried to delete all of it. only some it remains (posted below)

if anyone doesn't know:
he used to sell software in the 90s that claimed to do certain things, which it didn't do, and use scary warnings to get people to give him money. he was prosecuted by state of washington, fined and lost his business.

>"In 2006, SoftwareOnline was sued by The Washington State Attorney General's Office for alleged violations of the Consumer Protection Act after complaints were made about two products called "Registry Cleaner" and "InternetShield". SoftwareOnline agreed to pay $150,000 in civil penalties, plus $250,000 that was ultimately suspended following compliance with all terms in the settlement, as well as $40,000 in legal fees"

Everybody knows because each time one of his videos is posted here, you spend the day reminding everyone. But no one cares. No one ever cares. Still, you post it over and over again, pretending it's some secret knowledge even though it's been on Wikipedia forever.

i added most of the text about his scamware career. i love being able to live rent free in his barren single digit iq mind. it's really nice and comfy knowing that i've helped to remind the world of just how much of a loser david really is.
>every time
i've rarely been here in a few years so you're just a lying faggot. i can't ever imagine being such a sad simpleton to rush to the defense of a loser like david that got btfo by his own state. lmao. you seem mad. i wonder why? is that you, david?

For sure, it feels like a mockery of the real thing too since this runs hundreds of times slower, being web based (https://cs16.samke.me). Cool software though and I want to see more like it.

that other anon is exagerating somewhat. he was on various research teams for autonomous vehicles and had a minor, non-tenured teaching position at mit for awhile, which gave him the idea for the podcast. he has a phd from drexel. i don't recall his claiming to have 'invented' tesla's systems; a lot of people say he claims shit that i have never seen him do, because 4chan spends most of the day finding or inventing shit to seethe about. it's the only way we still feel. most of what he does these days is getting high and doing his podcast. i am pretty sure he's high all the fucking time. he's a chronic stoner. fair enough to, as probably his podcast means he doesn't have to do anything else.

if you want to know how he get's all these high-profile guests, that's because his extended family are russian and ukrainian jewish oligarchs. i'm pretty sure he has at least cultural and probably personal connections to the founders of google through this (they're russian/ukrainian jews as well). so it's all just networks.

Lex took them down because his dad is a professor at Drexel and he's really insecure about the fact that Drexel was his alma mater and not MIT. Lex has been actively scrubbing the internet of info that exposes the fact that he actually has no connection at all to MIT.

Seems like pretty average PC cleaner snake oil for the time. Dishonest but not unique to him.
The part that I take issue with is his response and other digressions. Abusing DMCA is low, and that linux comment is batshit insane.
