Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 403 ratings
  • Came to this show to hear from two people who helped me develop critical thinking and analysis skills only to hear them shamelessly glaze one of the hack losers building AI deepfake tools in an episode ostensibly about how to spot AI and how insidious AI image replacement is. Not a SECOND of pushback when they hear he is actively working with tools that are going to put people out of work after a long conversation about how scary the slow erosion of reality has been. Sad!

    This show is so great hearing stories from on set, knowing behind the set info I would have otherwise never known. I would have left a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, but that wasn’t an option. Thank you Kari and Tory. RIP Grant.
