  • Not important

    The world is basically on fire metaphorically and actually, and we have these intellectuals in there ivory towers burning up all the resources to do what exactly? Design more enslaving technology? Bigger bombs? Or just more addictive video games to keep everyone isolated inside their own little ivory towers. When we look back on this time, it will be remembered for how corrupt these “intellectuals” were. Yeah keep working on software we don’t need, don’t want, and is harmful to society as our wo... more

  • Awesome guests, production quality needs improvements

    The lineup of guests is great, but the production quality appears relatively subpar. It is sometimes frustrating that the volume of intro/host/guests goes all over the place in a single episode and is hard to listen to in moderately noisy environments. I hope the producer can pay more attention to these kinds of details which a professional podcast should.

  • Really great series

    I’m a newbie to this but have some dim and distant memories of this subject from school and uni. It really is a fascinating subject and I found this series both insightful and helpful, and I am now starting my own journey to learn more about this subject. Thanks Sebastian and Kevin!! Keep up the great work.

    I found the program heavy on mumbo-jumbo and too light on content. The focus should be on substance and not blah-blah. As someone with limited time, the program wasn’t a good investment.

  • A mind expanding podcasts for the public

    This excellent podcast fills a major void for content on the quantum world that falls between “Quantum Computing Will Change the World!!!”-style Youtube videos and full-blown academic papers.

    As a professional market researcher and non-expert in this space I find this podcast extremely educational and thought provoking. Each episode leaves me with several rabbit holes to jump down. Keep up the good work in 2024!
