It used to be one of my favourite ML podcasts, with genuinely in-depth discussions and fascinating guests. Over time, though, it became increasingly clear that its primary goal had shifted to revenue generation, and the quality of the interviews declined accordingly. At its worst, entire episodes felt like thinly veiled sponsored ads for overhyped startups. It’s genuinely disappointing to watch such a once-excellent podcast lose its way.
The host is just against LLMs. Also, he has on some professors and they discuss fully specific PhD stuff, and it’s just not listenable
Host talks too much, cuts off guests and talks about all his Twitter posts and books ad nausea.
Early episodes are a great listen. Last year it felt more like each episode was sponsored.
I used to love this but it’s starting to come off as a platform for product promotion webinars. I don’t know what’s in it for the creator but it has lost my trust. I’ll still check with interest for good content and of course there are always things to learn amongst the marketing bullets but I miss the earlier days here.
