Community rating
Read and write reviewsDeeply prepared interviews with AI researchers, economists and historians. Praised for questions that show real homework and for pressing guests; the pushback is that it sits close to the AI industry and that the host can over-press a point.
Praised for
- Preparation: the host reads the guest's work and asks the questions experts want asked.
- Pushes back on guests, including big names, instead of letting claims slide.
- Episodes with historians (Sarah Paine) and biologists are favourites beyond the AI crowd.
Common criticisms
- Seen by some as too close to the AI-lab world it covers.
- Long back-and-forths on one disagreement (the Jensen Huang episode) divided listeners.
- Assumes a lot of background; newcomers can feel lost.
