Techdirt Podcast Episode 82: Chatbots: Fad Or The Future?

from the what's-old-is-new-again dept

Chatbots have been around for a very long time in some form or another, but now they appear to be making a comeback — or at least attempting one. This week, Mike and regular co-host Dennis (who is working on a chatbot startup) are joined by special guest Veronica Belmont to discuss the potential of chatbots and just how much skepticism is warranted.

Re: Re: Re: 403 Forbidden?

Nope more 403, doesn’t matter I;m not addicted, just seems a little silly on the very spot that shames people with sign up walls and pay walls…………….

Definitely not our doing. The podcast is out there and freely available. Did you try grabbing it from the RSS feed directly? Or just using the RSS feed to subscribe via any podcasting app? https://www.techdirt.com/podcast.xml

Re: Re:

Even there it is 403 forbidden, both the link, and the media file. Just for grins I tried it on a computer in my network, but not on my VPN, and it is all good. So it is VPN blocking.

Then it’s something on your VPN’s side. They must block Soundcloud. We’re not doing any VPN blocking on our end. Who’s the VPN provider?
