One of the very few podcasts that’s worth listening to every week.
Paris Marx is one of the my favorites. He gets great guests and always covers itneresting issues. This is a must listen.
Just an excellent podcast, so many important and knowledgeable voices to counter all the insufferable techno-hype that surrounds us.
I enjoy the episodes that discuss sociological or political science topics, but the host and most guests lack a deep technical and engineering expertise, which explains many of the misconceptions about AI and technology in general.
It’s really funny to see reviews saying that this podcast is too political or too left leaning. This is a left wing political podcast! Thoroughly researched and aligns with my values. Paris is a great host. 10/10
