  • Best AI Podcast - still alive?

    This is, by far, the best AI podcast for people who what a smart, insider view from capable and involved hosts. I even paid for a subscription!

    But, is this podcast still happening? Once per month (recent trend) at ad hoc times is not enjoyable.

    Do we need to find a next best podcast to gravitate toward for “best in class” AI content? (No, no, no!) Fans would REALLY love it if this pod could be released at least 3x per month, and no more than one missed week per month. Thanks to the hosts f... more

  • Please don’t stop!!!

    I feel like I’m seeing fewer episodes recently, so I wanted to share some words of encouragement (and also just beg a tiny bit that you guys don’t stop)

    You guys are definitely the hands-down best podcast for keeping up in this field… possibly the best way to keep up in any format. Hearing these updates in a technological sense along with geopolitical considerations is a truly valuable experience that you can’t find any other place. I hope it’s as rewarding for you to do as it is for me to list... more

  • The politics of the internet

    Have to disagree with your discussion of internet data causing chatbots to lean liberal. There is evidence to show that tariffs are paid by the USA recipients and not the external countries. If you say otherwise, a good chatbot will call that misinformation. That’s not politics. If you say there is no global warming trend, a chatbot can check climate records. All of the other models, besides grok, provide good quality sources, especially if you ask for resources. They will be respected sources.... more
