Peter Norvig Disagrees With Yann LeCun. Here’s Why
About this podcast
Hi, I’m Ksenia, founder of Turing Post.
On this channel, I talk to the people shaping AI and pay attention to the ideas, shifts, and details others might miss.
Inference is my interview show with innovators, builders, founders, and thinkers moving AI forward.
Attention Span is where I slow down on what deserves a closer look: the signals, questions, and stories hiding between the headlines.
Subscribe for the unusual takes. And always stay curious!
