It was a good show, sadly slowly it turned from tech news into tech CEO news or news about tech “celebrities”, to so much AI-this-AI-that; constantly hyping this technology that has no mainstream real use by distracting with edge use cases. Most recently now AI is part of its production as well. I’m out.
I supposed it’s still a good show for some people but those aren’t whoever is looking for actual tech news.
Way too much left bias. Not an authentic source anymore
I’ve been listening to the WSJ’s news podcasts for a decade now and lately I have noticed a discernible change in their focus.
There is a ‘subject bias’ or a highly narrow ‘cultural focus’ such that, while they still report the facts & news, there is an unavoidable hyperfocus on right & far-right-leaning topics/subjects that, in whole, are not reflective of the tech or business worlds.
I've already unsubscribed from ‘What’s News’ and ‘Tech News Briefing’ may be next.
**sigh**
The Tech Minute is bookended with 30 s-1 min long ads on each end. That’s a lot of ads for a minute long show.
Why not replace robotic human readers that have speech and maturity challenges with AI generated voices? Current “hosts” add nothing to the content they are mechanically reading
