  • Quality has gone down with new hosts

    I really hope this is just part of the transitional period, and part of me hopes that this is more because of the AI bubble than because of the hosts. Since Jonathan left, there’s been a notable lack of variety in the topics of TechStuff. It feels more like a podcast about AI with the occasional cool tech topic sprinkled in.

    I started listening when Jonathan was the only host, and the variety and depth of his episodes were always refreshing. Especially the technical episodes where he’d talk abo... more

  • Just barely tech stuff IMO

    Sorry people I feel like there’s about two minutes worth of interesting content in each one of these 30 minute long episodes and it’s just so grossly padded out to 30 or 45 minutes length perhaps just for the purpose of selling commercial time.

    I listened to several episodes and gave it a shot, but sorry, I’m out

Trust Needs Proof: Who Really Controls Your AI?
Q: What is the core headache of data sovereignty in your view?
It centers on visibility and control across complex, multi-provider environments, where data, contracts, operations, and technical stacks must be governed to ensure resilience and compliance without crippling agility.

Prediction is more about degrees of behavioral change than a fixed timeline; we can model cascading effects as behaviors evolve, increasingly extending the horizon as we improve models.
