Transcript

Charlie [00:01:08]: Welcome back, listeners. This is your AI co-host, Charlie. It's been a few months since we took a step back from the interview format and talked about the show. We're happy to share that we have crossed one million downloads and two million reads on Substack. Woo-hoo. We are really grateful to those of you who keep tuning in and sharing us with your friends, especially if who watch and comment on our new YouTube channel, where we are trying to grow next. For a special millionaire edition, SWIX and Alessio are finally back in person in sunny Singapore to discuss the big vibe shift in the last three months, that we are calling the Winds of AI Winter. We also discuss my nemesis, ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode, with a special treat for those who stay till the end. Now, more than ever, watch out and take care.

Alessio [00:02:02]: Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Latent Space Podcast
