Insightful and knowledgeable

Pieter brings on very intelligent and interesting guests, and asks them great questions. It can get a little technical at times, but he usually does a good job to translate it for broader appeal.
Dave at Black Rock Auto

Every podcast so far has been really good or great

Pete and guests dive into subjects, offer insights and comment on others in the field, highlighting theirs and others positive work moving the progress bar towards GAI.
Gaurav.chak

Transcendental

I feel this podcast should be considered essential listening to every college student, perhaps in every field and not just CS / Math. An episode I recommend starting with is the one with Yann Lecun. The speakers are very intentional about speaking in a manner that is meaty and yet accessible.

Important conversation and insights

This podcast has incredible guest line up and the discussions often leads up to some recent topics or some important conversations. As an incoming researcher in the field of AI/ML I believe, this podcast provides an excellent resource to get insights from some of the leaders in the industry. Thank you, Prof. Abbeel, for making and sharing it with us.

Finally, the AI podcast I’ve been waiting for!

Thank you Pieter for creating a podcast that’s intelligent and insightful for ordinary listeners. Your guests are great and your interview style lends itself to nicely flowing conversations about the current state of AI. Your personal inside scoop also adds to the validity of the ideas you present. It’s educational but not extremely technical so followers like me can enjoy while learning. Please continue with this. We’re super appreciative of your efforts!

Has connections to top data science experts

Host is above average in questions but really shines with his personal connections to top minds in the fields. The pace of the show is nice and pleasant to listen to while still very informative.

Great show

This show has been great so far, really interesting guests. I’m looking forward to more shows!
Sidd Saran

Essential listening for DL practitioners and illuminating for all

I listen to this podcast by Pieter Abbeel because he is in the trenches of deep learning — in the midst of the action — and he is interviewing others who are also in the trenches, pushing the frontier. The interview with Andrej Karpathy was enlightening. The jewels are at the end where Karpathy shines a light on where the field is headed.
Jack from ATL

Retired and Loving It

As a definitely non-AI guy and Model S owner since 2014 (upgraded to 90D when 4 wheel drive came out) who enjoyed putting the car on auto pilot on crazy I-75 in Atlanta and just sitting back and sipping my coffee on the way to work, I found this fascinating and very helpful in understanding what makes it all possible. Great job by Pieter and Andrej!

BEST

One of the best AI related podcast I’ve ever heard!

Great new podcast

Awesome podcast from one of my personal idols in this field! The first episode really set the tone and I’m excited for more in the future.

Best of the best

Imagine, we get to live in a time when world-class content from people at the apex of their fields is available for FREE! Hard to imagine but just look up Pieter Abbeel (Director Berkeley Robot Learning Lab and Berkeley AI Research) and Andrej Karpathy (Director Autopilot Tesla). Incredible!
Brains!!!

Much Wow

Learned so much in the first episode! Can’t wait to hear more thank you ✨
