Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 20 ratings
  • The name isn’t what the show is about

    The show is supposed to be about the future of work given advances in AI and other technologies. But the show is mainly about promoting woke ridiculous ideologies regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The technology aspect of the conversation revolves around that goal. It’s just political propaganda and woke indoctrination disguised as tech-talk.
