@kevinroose.com Nobody:
Quantum ML models: 'We're not just in superposition, we're also in overfitting!' 🤷‍♂️

I just love listening to you two on Saturday (I save the best podcasts to weekend so I can enjoy in full!) and make me laugh, like bursting into laugh walking down the supermarket aisle🤪 Thank you for bringing the laugh to us @kevinroose.com and @caseynewton.bsky.social!🙏

One day in my future when I take the flight into SFO (I live in Seattle), I must find that chair and have to take the photo myself. Hardfork means a lot to me - never had the chance to write to you guys but please know, you guys give me lots of smiles and laughs. Huge fan🩷🙏

At least once a week I think about the time @kevinroose.com said that Google was "pegging their employees"

Great episode but dammit Kevin it is always fine to specifically point out that Claude’s logo was scraped from Breakfast of Champions

You held back lol

It’s a twelve point pucker, sir!

I'm excited to hear what you think about Claude. If there's a "cult of Claude" I'm definitely part of it. Head and shoulders above ChatGPT for my occasional uses as a media professional IMO

I encourage bringing on experts to explain new technologies. But as journalists it is important to bring on impartial experts, not the people marketing it themselves.
