  • Etc, etc, etc

    Joe, please stop saying etc. after every potential list, it is mind numbingly unnecessary every single episode.

  • Good info but lots of vocal tics

    OMG. The vocal tics. CAN THE HOSTS STOP IT WITH ALL THE “LIKES?” The biggest strength of this program is the guests along with some vital topics. The biggest weakness is the hosts. Both use “like” repeatedly as if they are valley girls. Joe is especially weak as a voice—lots of vocal fry and a “like” an average of one per sentence. It’s a level of cringe one has to get through to hear the guests.

  • Great guest and topics, but...

    The amount of times the host will interrupt a guest in the middle of a detailed thought or an answer to a question, with a long story of their own is bizarre.

    These quirky host side stories add nothing to the interview, and indeed only serve to often audibly frustrate the guest themselves as well as many other listeners.

    Please stop, it would greatly improve the show.

  • Stop talking over your guests

    Joe keeps talking over their guests, “Yeah”….”Oh, yeah” mid-sentence, over and over again WHILE the guest is in the middle of a complicated technical explanation. Makes it impossible to actually follow the guest’s train of thought. Stop it, Joe. Just stop.

    Joe’s 2-week obsession now is calling AI machine intelligence, as if “artificial” might be an insult to the artifice that is AI. Not a hill I’d die on. When are people going to understand that something that isn’t sentient (i.e. not corp... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PHP2Shell Won't Be the Last Big AI Cybersecurity Risk
Q: How did you find the PHP vulnerability, and what was the process behind publicizing it before it was fixed?
Calif used OpenAI's Patch the Planet program to investigate PHP, coordinated with the PHP Foundation, and developed an exploit that demonstrated the bug could enable remote attacks. The guests say AI played a major role in making exploitation practical.
What Wall Street Really Thinks About the AI Trade Now
Q: What do you think would spook investors? Like, what should we look out for next in terms of a degradation in the AI bull belief?
Altmann says a hyperscaler reining in capital expenditure could unsettle investors, though he thinks that may not happen in the immediate earnings results.
PHP2Shell Won't Be the Last Big AI Cybersecurity Risk
Q: Are the risks associated with AI a continuation of cybersecurity risks people already understand, or are we in a truly novel area?
Bruce Dang says vulnerabilities have always existed, but AI accelerates their discovery and exploitation to a near-superhuman pace, reducing work that once took months to days.
What Wall Street Really Thinks About the AI Trade Now
Q: Is there like a consensus AI outlook at the moment?
Altmann says the consensus remains strongly bullish, with investors generally believing the AI buildout will continue, even as some signs point to a bubble's denial phase.
James Bosworth on What Comes After Lula's Stunning Win
Q: With the surprise result in Brazil, does that mean that the orange wave has crested, I guess, or is Brazil an exception?
Bosworth says the apparent rightward wave may partly reflect anti-incumbent sentiment, but Latin American leaders will continue to respond to Trump whether or not they support him. Elections in Argentina will offer an important test of the region's political direction.
