Had a great time on Cal Newport's podcast and got one of my favourite intros ever podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

“That's Ed Zitron. He's a technology analyst who hosts the podcast Better Offline. He's also been a bit of a thorn in the side of those most crowing about AI's disruptive impact on the economy. Why do they dislike him? He actually checks the claims they make. And what he finds is often less than flattering. Now, if you hear Zitron talk like we just did there, it can induce whiplash, right? Because what he's saying about AI's actual impact really can seem different than, for example, the news coverage that we have been reading. So if we want to ask this question, not what is going to happen with AI, that's where the CEOs were saying these astonishing claims.”

I imagine it is a bit of a shock to Cal and "the news coverage [he's] been reading" I'll have to listen to this one. Maybe you got through to him.
