  • The AI Skeptic Dismissal is Ridiculous

    OK, enough, with the all out mockery of the critics of all about AI acceleration.

    I’m an AI enthusiast but I’m also what I consider to be fairly sober minded and clear eye about the existential risks and I don’t think I’m crazy. Hearing these dudes laugh at any criticism of AI’s progress and simply wave off credible concerns by saying a person is just looking for a book deal is so irresponsible and unhelpful to the discourse. Yes, we need podcasts like moonshots that celebrate technological pr... more

  • Sold out, lost the energy that made it great, hosts clearly enjoying it less

    Used to be a great show. Has degraded in recent months in terms of energy, guest quality, how fun the show is. You can see it on their faces that they don’t enjoy it as much. I can understand doing a daily show for over a year can be tiresome, but that’s not excuse for a marked drop in quality.

  • Love the show, but chill on the sound board high

    Love the show, but please chill on the sound board high and low voices. It takes away from the content - can’t understand a word.

  • Boys interrupted

    TBPN covers tech industry topics really well such as AI, big companies, all that stuff. The hosts know their material. But they talk over each other constantly, even interrupt guests sometimes, which gets annoying. It’s worth listening to if you care about tech, but they need to chill with the interruptions.
