Customer Reviews
You missed the obvious Javier Milei look
He looks like Wolverine in the X-men movies 🤣
Fun but Dumb (updated)
Perhaps you’ve not read anything from former CBO of Alphabet Mo Gawdat? Or anyone else in the field? Recent AI developments include cracking AES-192; the ability to unencrypt nearly anything; the ability to hack any system online. There are thousands of CRSPR and other DNA editing machines which can produce new novel corona viruses daily if instructed to do so.
Felix is great
I started listening to this podcast as I started having withdrawal symptoms from the ending of Succession and love it! Felix is great and I learnt and appreciated so much more the show after his deep dives and different angles.
Great guests that added a lot to the show. I still re-listen to the Succession’s episode but now also appreciating the other topics he covers.
Love his insights as being British he has a different and at times deeper outlook.
Thank you from Kenya 😉🙏
