a16z Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’m amazed at how much I learn from this podcast and its breadth of subjects. I’m a long-time technologist from computing and aerospace domains, which are now so broad that it’s hard to wrap your mind around them. The recent “satellite economy” series particularly surprised me in the amount of depth brought to important aspect of the subject.

This podcast is a must-listen for its insightful discussions at the crossroads of technology, business, and culture. Steph is a super engaging host, and they have a diverse range of industry expert guests that make complex topics accessible and fascinating for all.

Love the three part series on the AI revolution. Just listed to the 2nd part (third not out yet) and the conversation form folks doing the work like Mira (OpenAI) and others from Roblox and Anthropic is great. Deeper is better and a series let’s you do that better than a single podcast.

Excellent interview with Joon Park, thank you, your team at a16z is setting up a very important link between human behavior and generative AI, digital/interpretive behavioral modeling and other types of large language processing designs to close the gap between the vast complexity of neurobiological processes that leads to specific behavioral expressions and codifying and encapsulating that in a generative AI system, looking forward to more of those types of episodes that also address specific behavior such as violence and anger and aggression to highlight research teams around the world working on better understanding of how to intervene and treat aggressive behavior in order to create more peaceful individual and societal behavior.

Used to be a great podcast for insights on innovation, holistic disruptive thinking, and actual innovation. After a number of departures 2 or so years ago, everything has gone sideways. Has gone from a must listen to actively being counter productive to listen to. Such a shame. And such a waste that they’ve gone so far off the rails.
