I dive deep into various AI tools, market conditions, and exciting topics around AI. I start by discussing the Descript editing tool, its capabilities, and how it streamlines podcast creation. Then I cover Cursor, a fork of VS Code, and its role in automated coding with insights into its privacy and security features. Additionally, I touch on Gartner's Hype Cycle and its stages, offering perspectives on where AI stands today. Finally, catch a preview of upcoming content and an announcement about attending the Southern California Annual Linux Expo.

Thoughtfully Critical is a weekly podcast created by Chris Wahl. You can find out more about Chris by reading his newsletter at⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wahl Network⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Please subscribe and leave a review to help shape the conversation.
