  • It’s been fun, but the AI talk is offputting

    Back to Work has always been amusing at the very least and extraordinarily helpful when they do actually talk about productivity and work. And right now it’s a crucial time as the specter of “AI” looms overhead, with people on both sides of the “issue” claiming this and that. I think it’s fine that Merlin (and to a lesser extent Dan) are very interested in these chatbots as they are here to stay and people do need to begin wrestling with them, for better or worse, as it encroaches (forcefully by... more

  • Updated for 2023!

    After taking a break and checking in again, this show has gotten a lot more fun throughout the last year - I really like the energy of Merlin rolling with Dan lately and it feels a little bit like the early days just without the productivity focus. more

    I’ve been a listener for over a decade now. Fun and helpful show for anyone that works a jobby job, manages personal technology, streams movies, or deals with some degree of stress and anxiety. I guess you could say this show is what I want (“what I want”).

  • It’s always two things

    2nd: I mean this in a well-intentioned way: Merlin should probably see an actual honest to God (maybe different) Psychologist or Therapist and consider tweaking down the ADHD meds because they are making the obsessions worse, it’s plainly obvious after a decade+ when he’s in a rut or not like, sure we can all get in to, but the obsessions over the last year or two have really gone to the next level in a way that I think could harm his audience. more
