  • Something is broken

    I absolutely love the show, listening to deep dive and headlines every day. But something is broken around the episodes of the deep dive. If I pause or close my app mid show the episode goes into meltdown. Skips to ads, ends mid sentence, starts again. It’s unpredictable. No other podcasts have this problem except this one.

  • Zionist bias

    As a long time listener and usually a massive fan I have been extremely disappointed with TDA failure to provide impartial coverage of the genocide in Gaza

    Clearly a strongly Jewish / Zionist bias which is entirely inappropriate for Australia

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Are Aussie homes ready to go electric?
Q: Why switch from a calculator to an AI-based approach?
The calculator on the site exists but is hard to find and not as engaging; AI allows a contextual, conversation-style experience that quickly adapts to a home's setup and user needs.
Are Aussie homes ready to go electric?
Q: What exactly is Electric Saul and how does it work?
Electric Saul is an AI-assisted chat tool that starts with a quick home-specific calculator, then guides users through a focused conversation to suggest the next best upgrade, answer questions about equipment, and outline financing options and rebates.
The Govt's plan to turn off the algorithm
Q: What are the broader implications for businesses and ads if the algorithm is required to be opt-in and more content is shown chronologically?
There is concern that firms built on algorithm-driven engagement could face changes in reach and monetization, while the government's approach aims to reduce harmful, addictive content and improve user safety, though specific impacts are still being debated.
The Govt's plan to turn off the algorithm
Q: Can you explain why the government wants to implement an opt-in algorithm system and how it would work for new and existing accounts?
The host outlines that a pop-up would appear offering a choice between continuing with the recommendation algorithm or switching to a chronological feed, with further details to be defined in consultation, and notes that users could later alter their settings.
The ChatGPT deal for uni students
Q: What does the partnership with ChatGPT EDU entail for UNSW students and staff?
It provides a university-designed platform with enterprise-like protections, longer conversations, and built-in data handling so conversations stay within the platform and aren't trained on for external models, plus a Can-Can't-Must framework guiding when AI should be used in assessments.
