  • I like their old show better than their new show

    This used to be a fun show, but the guys seem to have become really jaded and spend most of the show complaining about OpenAI instead of discussing their platform or what is possible with AI.

  • Average

    They continue to be average and I continue to listen. If you want the most average take on the technical aspects of the AI landscape (genAI, LLMs etc) this is for you. Distinctly average and I love it.

  • My weekly AI show to tune into

    I have been following this show for over a year now. Very entertaining, fun, good info.

It is still impossible for AI to source reliable info even using RAG (f.e some specif... more

Talking Points

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.
