Some thoughts off the top about Tucker's interview of Sam Bankman-Fried: 1) Tucker deliberately doesn't address SBF's business, in favor of other topics, which is fine, but it also allows SBF to reiterate talking points about them that don't really grapple with the steel-man argument against what he did. 2) SBF is lying about not taking Adderall. His defense lawyers actually asked the judge to delay trial until he could get it. 3) SBF provides an inside look at some of the genuine problems with our justice system, including the failure to provide inmates appropriate legal resources and ways to pursue meaningful pursuits, as well as the Feds' use of borderline extortive pressure tactics. 4) SBF is still an effective altruist. No rumination on how it might have helped him rationalize his alleged crimes. 5) Tucker, who tries to nudge SBF to care about things like family, comes off far more human of the two.
