Bye, bye Nerds Assemble
This was posted to Emily's LinkedIn today:
Welp. Nerds Assemble Podcast is no more. I've taken the decision to end it as we had evidence of AI data scraping for episodes in order to use them for training, and that's been adding to our hosting costs… which we were recently told were going up by 22%. So, not only did we have assholes stealing our content, we were having to foot the bill for it too.
The website will remain, and you can still catch the last 20 or so episodes on several streaming services. But if you're a "friend of the show" and want to catch some classic Nerds, I can hook you up with access to backups… and our unreleased 304th episode where Paul, Retroid and I finally got to meet in person and talk in the same room!
Ironically, we talked a lot about AI in that episode.
I'm going to miss you, Nerds Assemble. A big thank you to the few guests that made it onto the show over the years.
