Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 148 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.

  • Don’t say anything bad about OpenAI

    I followed these guys on Twitter and decided to follow their podcast after I dumped Twitter. Oh boy, what a mistake. Nathan is such an OpenAI fanboy that he excuses EVERY misstep made by Sam Altman/OpenAI. When the rumor mill was chanting OpenAI search, Nathan could not gush enough about it. 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
