  • Refreshing and kittens

    Theo and Ben might hold some biases, but put those aside and the episodes are filled with genuinely useful and insightful takes on AI and tech. The (seemingly) unfiltered takes and actual reviews of their experience using the latest models etc is greatly appreciated. Plus the kittens on YouTube +++++infinity

  • Fun listen.

    I'm a big Theo fan. I watch his YouTube all the time. Because of this podcast I'm a big Ben fan too! Theo has mentioned him a lot but now I can put a face/voice to the name. Great to be able to keep up somewhat without having to get on YT.
