  • On its way to AI slop

    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.

  • Biased

    Way too much left bias. Not an authentic source anymore

  • Not as reliable as it once was

    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**

  • Now 60% Ads

    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.

  • Readers aren’t good

    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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nvidia’s Strategy to Make Sure the AI Boom Doesn’t Go Bust
Q: What makes Nvidia a bellwether for the AI industry right now?
Nvidia's earnings momentum has been strong for many quarters, but the company also faces the task of reinforcing the AI growth story through strategic investments and by addressing market weaknesses, which could influence broader industry confidence.
Behind the Scenes of Demis Hassabis’ AI Safety Body Push
Q: And how reliable are these AI coaches? Can we expect these tools to replace human coaches or doctors in the near term?
Experts emphasize that these tools are best viewed as supportive guides rather than replacements for professionals; variability exists depending on the individual, and AI can hallucinate, so users should manage expectations and use insights as directions rather than prescriptions.
Behind the Scenes of Demis Hassabis’ AI Safety Body Push
Q: Natalie, can you start by giving us an example from one data maxer to show us how this all works? What kind of data did they share with the chatbot and what insights did they get back?
The example detailed a former competitive runner who uses fitness trackers and health data, aggregated in Claude via the Whoop band and other metrics, to receive tailored training recommendations; it illustrates how integrated data can generate personalized coaching insights, though not a substitute for professional medical or coaching advice.
AI Is Fueling a New Kind of Political Propaganda
Q: What are notable examples of AI-manipulated imagery shifting political conversation in a meaningful way?
Examples include AI-generated clips and images used in US and international politics, like political robocalls, deepfakes of public figures, and government-linked actors posting manipulated content, which collectively shift discourse and erode trust.
AI Is Fueling a New Kind of Political Propaganda
Q: You've worked so much with propaganda. Is this technology making propaganda more effective?
It doesn't invent propaganda; it industrializes it, making it cheaper and faster to produce while allowing targeting and personalization to be more precise.
