Interesting but outdated and too much biased on AI regulation upon the fear of possibilities, that don't even exists. Clearly most of the content is directed for non-technical people that don't understand how these big models really works and it is strongly biased to the apocalypse and government intervention side of things. Even though, it has interesting discussions and provides good insights about how to use the emerging technology.
