Gradient Dissent: Conversations on AI

I’ve been in the industry >5 years. Best podcast for going beyond the basics and sharing how top leaders are thinking about emerging trends.

To be sure, there have been some good guests featured. But the content is a mile wide and an inch deep so I’d rather spend my time other places to learn. There’s too much noise not enough signal: there are really important ML people interviewed and then there are convicted scamming hucksters. If you interview Martin shkeli, I unsubscribe. Simple as that.

This podcast has a great set of guests and the host does a great job of asking insightful questions. Would recommend for real world practitioners!

I’ve just started listening in the last few weeks, but all the episodes I’ve listened to are thoughtful and grounded. They think around the issues of interest to the guests (and host), and they bring it back to reality and don’t get taken in by the hype. There’s certainly positivity around AI / ML, but with a discerning eye.
