You’re amazing. But 18 hours of ces? We get it, it sucks and they suck. If it’s that fun for you go for it, but come on man.

… but even if it does an ok job at providing accurate info, it’s still gotta be ran through the filter of its clear channel handler. So, that’s the best you’re gunna get. So why waste time with limited hangout, when you can easily find a smaller pod whose heart and passion and all extra income is wrapped up in their work. Stop funding the problem.

Everyone should be listening to this. Clear-eyed overview of the swivel-eyed craziness of AI. Are you an enthusiast still hanging in there for the Great Coming of AI?
Are you thinking the world is going nuts « (splashing) cash up the wall » on a the most egregious scam the world has ever seen ?
AI affects even the disinterested.
Ed Zitron is informed, passionate and genuinely funny. One of my favourite podcasts; and my interest in technology doesn’t go much further than the garden spade.

This man is the Jesus of his time. Yes, That Jesus.
I would subscribe to it his pod for the CES podcasts alone. By far the best review of CES anyone could ask for. But his regular pod feed is excellent. Informative, funny, insightful, yet depressing, because that’s world we live in. He is just the only one with the balls to tell the truth. Things we need to hear and know.
I cannot speak to his monologues, because they are typically less than 15 mins, so myself and all other working hogs don’t... more
