- Worthless
Tried to listen but the lack of critical thought on topics outside of AI makes me question the value of the AI information. Absolute drivel.

United States20 days ago - I tried several times
Upon the recommendation of a friend, I tried to listen in order to get informed about the real progress of AI, (which I do use every day for my two businesses), but the constant effusive praise of Elon Musk is incredibly disturbing, as is the lack of seriousness about potential problems AI will create for regular people. It’s so clearly biased (and so clearly from a rich male perspective) ~ it honestly made me feel MORE worried about the future with AI than I was before. Every time I try to list... more
Apple Podcasts1alivibeUnited Statesa month ago - Bummer that they dismiss the fears out of hand.
I enjoy this show. As a tech enthusiast and someone very interested and excited about AI I really enjoy these conversations. But the dismissal of the fears of what uncontrolled AI could mean for the future of our species is a real disappointment. The people who have shared their concerns are not crazy or seeking publicity, like these guys imply. Many people are worried. And to dismiss this out of hand without actually addressing their concerns on the merits and just calling them crazy? Yeah, it’... more
Apple Podcasts3evanseesredUnited Statesa month ago - Out of Touch
I work for an AI company in San Francisco and used to absolutely love this podcast. The hosts are clearly brilliant. However, I find that I can longer listen or resonate, so I had to unsubscribe. These guys exude such a lack of empathy when it comes to other people, whether talking about p(doom), the labor market, etc. They too easily forget the best parts of what make humans human
Apple Podcasts5Apple Podcasts ListenerUnited Statesa month ago - “The mates sit down with Emad Mostaque to discuss…”
This is the opening line in the podcast I listened to today.
It’s unfortunate.
But I do feel wiser for the sheer in-your-face-ness of this opening line.
I listened in with more criticism today than ever before. More skeptical than ever before.
Just because of that opening line.
I want to believe Peter will live until 150. I want to believe that is what he is selling.
I want to believe that Alex will be with many of us in space, and that the world is full of contented Meatbodies. I want to... more
