  • Insightful, engaging, and always enjoyable

  • New format needs work

    I was a fan of Danny in the Valley but the new format is not yet delivering. It feels like 15 min of content for 1 hr of listening. The presenters are v professional but talking to each other is not as compelling as hearing them interview tech practitioners.

    Please rethink - good talent being wasted here.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI in security and defence: is tech making us safer?
Q: Are we heading toward armies of autonomous weapons or will human oversight prevail?

AI in security and defence: is tech making us safer?
Q: But how has your job changed with the recent political shifts and the US-UK defense relationship?
The CTO explains that while US-facing activities are driven by federal policy, the core commercial decisions depend on customer needs, sovereignty concerns, and the evolving defense market, with emphasis on strategic collaboration with industry.
Social media ban for children and Big Tech’s Big Tobacco moment
Q: What is the status of the age-appropriate design code and related regulation?

Social media ban for children and Big Tech’s Big Tobacco moment
Q: Why is the design of these apps the focus, not just the content?

Social media ban for children and Big Tech’s Big Tobacco moment
Q: What did you think when you heard about the court verdicts in California and New Mexico?
