  • Great show, so sick of Plaud ad

    This podcast is fantastic: I’ve leaned a lot. But I’m having severe cognitive dissonance listening to the stories about the dangers of AI and then listening to this great AI tool he’s promoting and integrating into every aspect of his life. Maybe find a different sponsor?

  • Objectivity

    Apparently the notion of objectivity is inherently sexist, racist, and homophobic.
