  • So disappointing

    ATP is what got me into tech focused podcasts. Recently, however, the negativity and constant ridiculous complaints have become too much. I’m done. Good luck guys.

    The past ~~few weeks~~ year the panel has been shilling AI like it’s some kind of inevitable requirement for the future, ignore all the ethical issues it brings. Sad to see Marco go the way of the tech bro.

  • Good when Apple-focused

    Lately the obsession with AI and LLMs has been exhausting and disappointing. This is not what the podcast should be hyperfocusing on. It’s the same as promoting NFTs or Crypto. Support the environment and stop promoting AI.
