So smart. So funny. I leave thoroughly informed and entertained 👏
Informative and entertaining. Look forward to each episode. Casey Newton needs to get his tight hour and take it on the road.
I came to this show two years ago because it was a pleasure spending time with two friends who are funny and smart. Now I see this podcast as the most efficient and fun way to stay current on the global march into AI - from social implications to political guardrailing, from ethics to opportunities. Starting to wonder if Kevin and Casey are actually creating a historically important document for the future on AI innovation, adoption and alignment. Stellar work, guys.
I love this podcast not only for keeping me in the loop of everything going on in tech but the back and forth between the two is hilarious. Keep it up!
Extremely relevant content and I also enjoy the banter of the hosts.
