Cringe hot takes

“I want to like this. It’s just too tiring and life is too short.
The show presents good topics of discussion but unfortunately regularly devolves into judgmental and opinionated hot takes. It’s one thing to have an opinion - but when it clouds your intellect it’s not a good look.
Episode 1677 is an example. Jason uses the word “woke” which then triggers Molly into going off in a rant about how that’s a derogatory term used by people who don’t care about other people’s feelings, and then proceeds to single out a race and gender as being the issue (the irony).
No biggie right, but this episode is about bias in AI, particularly ideological bias on the part of people involved with model implementation and guard rails (eg censorship).
A point of discussion begins to center around whether subjectivity is appropriate for ai generated responses. However there seems to be obvious tone deafness (subjectivity) in picking examples over which ideological targets are subjectively answered and therefore inappropriate. The irony.
TLDR: this is like listening to NPC hot takes of the news. It’s a shame because they could be so much more if they allowed their own views evolve more often.”

“Love the content, amazing info for startups. The host's lip smacking and breathing into the mic kind of drives me insane though. (Especially during commercials). But if you bear through the commercials it's a great show.”Read full review »
