One of the only sources pointing out that not only does the emperor have no clothes, but that he has been in his birthday suit the entire time.
Podcast Addict515 days agoHooolyCow- Journalism without apology
Corporate-backed news outlets are totally toothless when it comes to covering Silicon Valley tech, with childlike credulity for whatever the “visionary” CEOs tell them, and unshakable confidence in the wisdom of the market. Indie journalists are carrying tech journalism on their back, like ants bearing 50x their weight, and David is one of the very best.

David has the correct approach to reporting the reality of the AI hype bubble: present the facts, then sneer.
Apple Podcasts5Uncle Vinny
United States3 months ago Useful information about the current AI (mostly GenAI) hype. Focusing on the dark and often tragicomic side.
Podcast Addict54 months agohcs- Brilliant and fun
Due to the ongoing trend of AI hype/con/grift, information from Pivot to AI is more important than ever. Any time someone mentions how neat some chatbot/plagiarism/MTurk is, Pivot is a must-have resource and it is lovely to have an audio option. Accuracy and humor are both in full effect here, much to the chagrin of marketing bros. Hopefully the artificial bubble pops soon. Thanks very much.
