Yesterday was my birthday, and I asked everyone if you hadn't already to leave a review for my birthday. And I wanted to say a huge thank you. I had tons of reviews. I wanted to read a couple of them. Some of them were funny. Someone said, I think Jaden does a great job of concisely capturing the latest AI-oriented news.

164.851 - 179.209 Jaden Schaefer

He comes across as a generally good guy, and I always look forward to his take on things. That is from Texas Saint. Thank you, Texas Saint, for saying I am a generally good guy. I hope someday to become like a super good guy, but a generally good guy is awesome.

I think especially in the field of politics, you probably see this on a lot of other podcasts too, but in the field of AI, like there's so much that touches into politics and ethics and so many areas where people have a lot of strong opinions. So inevitably, I'm going to say things that probably people don't agree with for a variety of different reasons other people agree with. So anyways,

198.532 - 215.219 Jaden Schaefer

I hope that it's still insightful and educational and we're all learning about AI together. So I appreciate all of you guys coming along. One other, I got a four-star review from Matthew C. Coder. Matthew, come on, bro. It was my birthday. You gotta give me a four-star review like that. This is what he said.

215.239 - 232.805 Jaden Schaefer

He said, provides a good overview of recent news in AI, but can be very subjective and repetitive in some topics and comes across as biased for certain vendors. As far as being repetitive... It's kind of hard, right? Because you have like Google and OpenAI and Anthropic and they all kind of come up with features. And when someone does one feature, they also copy it.
