It's Friday! Matt Housley and I catch up to discuss the aftermath of AWS re:Invent and why the industry’s obsession with AI Agents might be premature. We also dive deep into the hardware wars between Google and NVIDIA , the "brain-damaged" nature of current LLMs , and the growing "enshittification" of the internet and platforms like LinkedIn. Plus, I reveals some details about my upcoming "Mixed Model Arts" project.

What happens when a best-selling author and "recovering data scientist" gets a microphone? This podcast.
I'm Joe Reis, and each week I broadcast from wherever I am in the world, sharing candid thoughts on the data, tech, and AI industry.
Sometimes it's a solo rant. Other times, I'm chatting with the smartest people I know.
If you're looking for an unfiltered perspective on the state of AI, data, and tech, you've found it.
