  • A must listen AI podcast

    Such a great podcast! Most AI podcasts drown you in really deep technical jargon or just rehash the same surface-level takes but Chain of Thought has found the perfect in between. Conor clearly knows the space well and asks the kinds of questions that make for interesting conversations and gets guests talking so you walk away actually learning something useful. And the production quality is great, no weird audio or jumps in conversation.
