Loyal Twit supporter and subscriber. Love the new format of the show. So happy Paris helped bring back Jeff’s intro I actually missed it when it was gone. As someone who works in technology I really enjoy the dialogue when talking about AI. The show really feels like a conversation which I love.
Oh wait, yes it is as long as it’s Leo, Jeff and the shows politics…then the show stops being a tech show and becomes a show on their politics. A very biased tech show both on personal beliefs on AI as well as politics.
All rose tinted glasses. Dangerous ultra hype
Paris and Jeff are my favorite characters in the TWiT cinematic universe. We need more crossover episodes featuring them in “This week in Tech”
This is one podcast I always look forward to hearing on release day. I’m glad they shifted to a focus on AI, when it was TWiG the show was mostly a second TWiT. I’m curious to know whether Paris receives hazard pay for putting up with Leo and Jeff each week.
