- Very sycophantic
It does what it says on the tin, give you updates about AI. But Jesus, the amount of this podcast that is just reading tweets verbatim makes me realize maybe we don’t need daily updates. He does try to present both sides, but is obviously extremely biased towards any anti AI news being bad.

Apple Podcasts4HappyPodGalUnited States3 months ago - Easily the best AI podcast for me
This is a fantastic podcast. It’s always to the point, well researched, and concise. It’s not full of rhetoric. It informs me around categories I do know while regularly pushing my limits and challenging me to learn more. It’s not so deep and technical that I get lost but neither is it so high level that there’s no meat. Well done!
I recommend it to everyone.
