I am very close to unsubscribing from a podcast that I have listened to for 20 years, because the hosts will not shut the fuck up about “AI”.

I appreciate that LLM-based tech is in the news and they cover it (often with a lot of knowledge, because they both understand it fairly well), but there’s so much rampant speculation about it solving all problems, and I’m tired of it.

I don’t want to. I like(d) this podcast.

Pretty fucking close though.
