  • Look elsewhere

    To be sure, there have been some good guests featured. But the content is a mile wide and an inch deep so I’d rather spend my time other places to learn. There’s too much noise not enough signal: there are really important ML people interviewed and then there are convicted scamming hucksters. If you interview Martin shkeli, I unsubscribe. Simple as that.
