The speedy skinny on AI - brief and brilliant

Essential briefing for keeping up to speed with AI news stories, deliciously brief, gloriously devoid of discursive deep dives, always informative and insightful.

Love brevity

Lots of AI podcast have 2 guys talks about stuff. This is better as it’s to the point and backed up by actual quotes from people / business.
