Stop “you may also like”
The SN content itself is great, but the repeated addition of extra, “you might also like” content is super annoying. If I wanted that, I’d subscribe to it. Please stop polluting your feed.

Unlistenable now
Can no longer tolerate the AI glazing this podcast has become all about. Basically anything Leo is on will be unabashedly pro-AI. UNSUB’d after listening for 10+ years. And you know what, maybe someone should use an AI agent to replicate your software, Steve, and put you out of business. I mean, all’s fair in love and AI, right? Finally, Leo showing his financial hand a bit too much bemoaning losing a house worth of value from his retirement in a relatively minor dip in the market. Of course you’d want your AI overlords to succeed when you’ve got +$5-10mln in retirement on the line. So go ahead and put down the developers on whose backs your AI shills have trod upon to enrich themselves at the peril of all. Read the room, jagweed.

2-minute limit on AI glazing please
The effusive and unending AI praise is grating and embarrassing for someone I want to be able to trust as being level-headed and thoughtful about the technology landscape. I’m willing to tolerate it but no longer than two minutes per episode please. With all the other noisy sources out there glazing AI, that’s the last thing I want to hear about when I’m trying to get my security news. Otherwise it’s a decent podcast, but I have had to stop listening.

Best podcast ever
20 years of listening and can’t wait for the next episode. If I could have coffee with any celebrity in the world it would be Steve. (as long as we don’t have to go to Charbucks)
