  • Cyber cyber cyber

    So much Ai slop they give credence too on this podcast

    I also wish they wouldn’t say cyber ever three seconds on this podcast. It’s so outdated. Give it a rest. You sound ignorant and like Trump just repeating nonsense.

    Also it’s “N-vidia” not “navidia.” You would think a technology podcast wouldn’t screw that up.

And I say comically because you can count on even completely politically unrelated episodes somehow stringing back to scary horrible POTUS in the most ridiculo... more

  • The AI Scripts are Unbearable

    Used to be one of my favorite podcasts, but they either use AI exclusively to write their scripts and then don’t edit it, or have adopted AI speech to an excruciating degree. All new episodes have a ridiculous amount of comparative statements… “its not just x, its y”, “not only this, its that”, over and over and over and over
