4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.8k ratings
  • Informative, but

    1). The bumper music is entirely overused.

    2). The name is misleading: it drops in the morning.

  • Sloppy Production, Bad Ethics

    Decent podcast is severely held back by lazy, sloppy production errors. It is common for episodes to randomly have a second audio clip mistakenly playing over the main audio, resulting in a mess that is difficult to hear.

    Brian keeps talking about experimenting with AI to make more and more podcasts but can’t be bothered to take the time to do basic QA on his main offering.

    He also is begging OpenAI to give favored access to his advertising business. Nobody should listen to this grifter

  • Can you learn how to pronounce names?

    I like this podcast but it HAS to be a bit. The host manages to pronounce some brands and software titles in a way no one else ever has.

  • Do something about your voice

    Appreciate the daily content but his adenoidal voice is excruciating especially at 1.5 - 2x speed.

    Normal really isn't much better and the casual dropping of slang or hip-hop references are so unnatural. Just stop.

    Just have AI host the show and change the voice already for Pete's sake.

    -2 stars for the voice. Another star for the obnoxious ad reads (again voice and false sincerity).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

(Portfolio Profile) Onix
Q: What is the business model for experts on Onyx?
Experts set their own price, keep about 70% of revenue, Onyx retains 30%, and the model is non-exclusive with revenue-sharing aligned to value creation for both users and experts.
(Portfolio Profile) Onix
Q: How is data handled to protect user privacy and ownership?
Data sovereignty is a north star; data belongs to the expert or user, with minimal retention and edge deployment so that personal data stays on devices; no training on chats; low-risk, privacy-centered architecture.
(Portfolio Profile) Onix
Q: Why would a narrow, domain-specific model beat a general-purpose model that has ingested a lot of information?
The moat is trust and domain fidelity; experts are involved and their personal judgment is incorporated, making models that respect privacy and reflect the expert's actual practice, which increases perceived value and willingness to pay.
The End Of Year M&A Rush
Q: Are startups building fortress balance sheets?
Yes, they are advised to create reserves against potential market downturns as funding becomes uncertain.
The End Of Year M&A Rush
Q: What does Meta want with an AI agent?
The speculation is that it is more about talent acquisition and an interest in enterprise services amid competitive pressures.
