  • Pretty average awesomeness

    I am a constant listener to this very average podcast. Guys please release your diss tracks to Spotify as I am looking for the day that I can use it for my daily work track as I use my daily drivers. Thanks again for your community service in producing such as average podcast cast. Dan Man.

  • It’s okay

    This is a tolerable podcast about developments in AI with a couple of middling blokes sharing their passable ideas about the state of LLMs. It’s a middle-of-the-road take on an area of tech that you’ll probably be indifferent to. I’m nonplussed listening to Chris and Michael’s review of models and their mediocre generated AI diss tracks.

  • Insightful

    I feel like I learn a lot. Honestly the musical episode wasn’t so bad guys! It’s corny. But that’s the point. I had no idea AI had come far enough to compose and perform a musical lol

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LIVE: Reaction to OpenAI DevDay, Opening Keynote
Q: What were your opinions today on what you saw announced?
Opinions vary, with some excited about cost reductions and access to models while others feel issues around usability and practical application remain.
EP81: Can AI Make Your Life Easier? Geoffrey Hinton is Relevant Again & State of AI Report
Q: Are we any closer to voice calling agents making our lives easier?

EP81: Can AI Make Your Life Easier? Geoffrey Hinton is Relevant Again & State of AI Report
Q: What did you make of this response from Geoffrey Hinton during his Nobel Prize interview?
He seemed bitter and used the moment to call out Sam Altman rather than expressing pride in his students' accomplishments.
EP75: OpenAI🍓, Q* & Orion: What Will Happen When AI Has Agency?
Q: What were your thoughts on the speculation about OpenAI's latest AI models?
It makes sense, considering current AI interactions require manual refinement by the users to get what they're looking for. This new model aims to automate and improve that process significantly.
