Solid podcast: Nathan is an articulate and engaging host, and his guests are interesting and intellectually diverse.
As a specialist of education, I can say that this episode presents no interest for learners, educators or school administrators in any fashion. Anecdotes, figures and graphs. Save precious time and give it a miss.
I listen to AI podcasts all of the time and I have never written a review. The most recent episode on how Nathan is using AI to help his son is the best episode on artificial intelligence that I’ve ever listened to. Nathan, first and foremost, your son is in all of our prayers. A distant but important second is that your podcast is an extremely important and nuanced conversation about the benefits and risks of AI.
Possibly the most annoying voice of any I’ve listened to
Always valuable conversations. Zvi is on enough that I think Turpentine should buy him a mic! We want to really hear what he has to say. Love the show.
