Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 149 ratings
  • Decent at best

    Update after a few months:

    Still the same opinion, the show would benefit greatly from a script and some planning. Every episode feels like the hosts decided to record an episode five minutes before going live.

    Original review:

    Some decent news coverage, but every episode is bloated by pointless yammering about this and that. It completely lacks focus, and the hosts aren’t good at moderating the episodes.

    The length of each episode could be cut by 80% without losing any valuable content.

When search did not happen, Nathan just moved on to how great ChatGPT 5 will be. He has not mentioned search again. If anybody says anything negative about Sam Altman/OpenAI, Nathan does not hesitate to dism... more
