  • Perfect amount of entertainment and knowledge!

    Would give more stars if I could. Funny, entertaining and informative! But also not too deep so it’s understandable. 10/10 would recommend

  • Filling the Gap

    These guys do a fantastic job at filling that gap between people who are obsessed with AI and the regular people who are just casually listen to AI but don’t take it much further. They are fun, exuberant, factual, and no matter where you fit into the AI spectrum, you’ll find this a joy to listen to (or watch).

    If they spent more time on discussing AI and less on childish humour it might be worth listening to.
