  • Too much talk about AI

    I used to really enjoy listening to this podcast as someone who supports our Rock instance at my church. You’d get ideas of how to use the product and technical information but I have been disappointed over the last few months. All of the episodes have been only about AI. I understand AI is here to stay, but having more variety of topics in the episodes like it used to have would be good. I’m concerned how the Rock conference will be this year if it will be nothing but AI also.
