  • 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.

    For example, he will read in full the summary of a study that finds harms in AI. He will then spend as much time reading tweets from random guys on twitter pushing back on that study. It has the appearance... more

  • Great daily brief…

    But slow down the speed at which you talk. I’m out of breath listening to the news portion.

  • 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.
