    Way too many ads
    The information itself is pretty good. I listened to the first episode today as much as I could stand, and I learned some good things. But I also learned that interrupting someone in the middle of a sentence is very annoying. It’s not worth it to listen to this podcast I can listen to others and get the same amount of review or just have an AI Chatbot provided for me.
  • Dennis_Linux
    Thank you for your hard work to keep us informed.
    Yes, it is sometimes hard to follow the podcast, but even with the dates being hard to follow, the content is more than worth the effort. This man is feeding us pearls. I hope it’s not to the swine.
  • Futurist Listener
    Fix the Feed Please
    I enjoy both the subject matter and Dave’s perspective but the feed management is the worst I’ve ever encountered. No clear date of publication or order and it pollutes my entire feed. Hope you read this Dave and figure it out and correct - you obviously have the skills. I have unsubscribed but would immediately re-subscribe once this is addressed/fixed . Thanks!
  • Center033
    Episodes repeat? Out of order
    Very hectic, had to unsubscribe because of episode duplicates, that are re-uploaded months later, does not make sense. I like the host but this podcast is a headache
  • Robon360
    Excellent resource
    I recently discovered this and trying to catch up. Slightly confused as I pore thru episodes how some older ones seem to keep resurfacing and show today’s download date. It is difficult to observe trends when it is impossible to tell when these developments are unfolding. I am wondering if there is some automated publishing feed that keeps pushing content out there. This also is related to a disturbing modus operandus on you tube when you try to view current news like today on a topic and it serves you an old video on that topic, which might be the most recent story but if I am interested in an approaching hurricane I don’t want to view undated reports from months ago.

    The Ads are a but much…
    I’m enjoying the podcast, it’s a very informative and intelligent podcast on the current state of artificial intelligence. Now I understand that podcasts are monetized, and the easiest way to to that is by running ads in the podcast. For a free show (without paid subscription), I expect to have ads. But the ads just pop up out of nowhere—literally mid-sentence, the host will be in the middle of a sentence and it cuts to an ad, then returns to the podcast—right in the middle of the sentence. It’s jarring and frustrating.

    Midroll ads every 5 minutes
    Sorry, but the midroll ads every 5 minutes (literally!) make this show unlistenable.
