  • This helps (CS) people

    This podcast helps people including this skeptical Computer Scientist (CS) student and professional. More importantly it is accessible to all by educating about facts rather than marketing jargon. It is informative and recent episodes have improved greatly. Cutting through AI-hype trends is increasingly important. Please keep doing this brilliant work!

  • Please stop the "Scientist" attacks

    Often I will hear "Computer Scientists" (CS) followed by a description of something derogatory which is a hurtful generalization. As someone who has a CS degree I feel personally attacked while listening to an otherwise informative podcast. A different term like AI-hype-person would be better. At least qualify the term CS to leave out those of us who are skeptical of AI and other trends.

  • It's easy to criticize, as these people do, and much harder to actually build something. If you want baseless opinions, this podcast is for you.

  • An oasis of knowledge in a sea of manufactured (generated?) existential dread.

    If you are still afraid of the stochastic parrots, listen. more

  • Overly snarky and poor production

    I checked out this podcast after it was recommended by Politico. What a waste of time. The two hosts are just snarky pseudo-intellectual whiners. They condescendingly critique a blog post without providing their own view of how AI is progressing and what we should do about. Soo many better podcasts without as-hole hosts.
