  • All AI buzzwords and hype now

    This podcast used to be a really valuable source of info and advice for Product Managers, but over the past year it’s degraded to just be shilling AI products and inviting the snake oil salespeople to sell their products. Lenny’s lost the plot with all the AI hype—go back to fundamentals, talk about AI only when it’s relevant, and stop inviting unrelatable corporate execs to build their brands.
