That story was very troubling. What a sad ending for the company. Thanks for sharing.
This has become my favorite podcast. I am interested in tech but never worked in tech. I am interested in science, but am not a scientist. This podcast gives me the right level of news, insight and analysis about the most important tech issues of our time. And, Casey and Kevin are very funny!
Absolutely brilliant! These guys know their stuff and deliver efficiently and superbly. Plus, (icing on the cake) they’re hilarious.
A total must !!!
This podcast has all the excitement you’d expect of two married people talking at each other. It was a lot more interesting when AI was trying to end a marriage and the other single host was talking every episode about dating apps and how ridiculous the dating scene is in SF. There’s very little that’s relatable from two people who are in happy relationships. Unless you are into the highlights of Bay Area tech bro “culture”.
I enjoy the information I get from this podcast, but the jaunty tone about AI slop, and the enthusiasm about the latest AI models, is hard to take. This stuff is coming for the jobs of everyone who works in a creative field, including the hosts of Hard Fork. As a writer myself, it’s truly hard for me to understand a writer being excited that a new AI model can closely mimic his writing style and reasoning.
