  • Insightful, engaging, and always enjoyable

    The Times Tech Podcast has quickly become one of my favourites. The presenters have a great rapport that makes each episode feel natural and easy to listen to. I really appreciate the focus on a single topic per episode—it allows for a deeper dive without ever feeling overwhelming. The balance between solid reporting, insightful analysis, and a touch of humour keeps things interesting. A great listen for anyone who wants to stay informed about tech without the jargon overload. Highly recommended... more

  • New format needs work

    I was a fan of Danny in the Valley but the new format is not yet delivering. It feels like 15 min of content for 1 hr of listening. The presenters are v professional but talking to each other is not as compelling as hearing them interview tech practitioners.

    Please rethink - good talent being wasted here.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SpaceX’s AI gamble and the crackdown on AI slop
Q: How is Notion changing its hiring to adapt to AI-enabled work?
Notion is prioritizing high agency, high taste, and broad capability, often hiring younger talent and training them to work with AI agents; interviews now involve live collaboration and building Notion demos to assess practical ability rather than relying solely on resumes.
SpaceX’s AI gamble and the crackdown on AI slop
Q: What is an agent, and how is it used inside Notion?
An agent is like an internal intern that can perform tasks, interact with users, and scale to handle repetitive work across a team, with Notion already deploying thousands of agents that can operate in background and in collaboration with humans.
OpenAI's rogue agent and Silicon Valley’s China problem
Q: Where do you see MeatLayer and agent-enabled marketplaces going in the next few years?
He envisions a trajectory where agents increasingly automate coordination and service delivery, reducing friction between tasks and execution, potentially creating a broader gig economy run by agents with humans as enabling layers, while noting current constraints and the gradual pace of adoption.
OpenAI's rogue agent and Silicon Valley’s China problem
Q: What did you do before MeatLayer, and how did you get the idea for the company?
James Morgenstern explains a prior background in building and selling tech startups, then describes how he saw AI capabilities accelerate and conceived MeatLayer as a way to test whether AI agents could effectively manage humans to perform real-world tasks, starting from a thought experiment and growing through community engagement.
PayPal’s Max Levchin on Donald Trump, Elon Musk and mega-IPOs
Q: And I'd love to understand, because you're an OG of Silicon Valley, how does this moment compare to the dot-com era in terms of risk and opportunity?
Levchin argues that while the scale and speed feel amplified today, the core dynamics—founder ambition, the push to build, and the need for disciplined execution—are familiar. The current wave accelerates execution and market formation, but it also demands more attention to governance and long-term viability.
