Incredibly smart

Incredibly smart Daniel has created something that I think everyone should listen to. Whether or not you’re in information security this podcast is a must for anyone wants to keep up with the world of tech and listen to somebody who is extraordinarily bright.

Good until he injects politics into the discussion

The podcast is a great source of information related to AI how it affects cyber security and life in general. What turned me off is he uses it to inject his political views along with it. I don’t care if the politics align with mine. If I wanted to hear about politics I’d be subscribing to a political podcast but I don’t want to hear about it. Unsubscribed

Extremely liberal

This guy is a hack. All he wants to do is push his stupid liberal politics. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him.
