Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anthropic’s first technical PM on token maxing, the jagged edge, and living in the future | Dianne Penn
Q: How do evals differ from PRDs in guiding product development at Anthropic?
Evals focus on real user feedback and measurable outcomes, serving as the primary mechanism to validate user value; PRDs remain useful for well-defined, broader problems where alignment and shared goals across large teams are crucial, but the day-to-day product decisions increasingly hinge on eval-driven findings.
Adam Mosseri: AI is a tailwind for authenticity
Q: What have you learned from past big design changes at Instagram and how do you handle backlash?
Backlash is part of the process; the key is to communicate clearly about trade-offs, explain the rationale, and iterate thoughtfully to avoid repeating mistakes, while maintaining progress and relevance of the platform.
Adam Mosseri: AI is a tailwind for authenticity
Q: How do you think about the balance between AI content and creator-driven content on Instagram?
A tailwind for Instagram is expected as people seek authenticity and individual creators, but the platform will still curate and rank content to ensure quality and trust. Transparency around AI usage and emphasis on the person behind the content remain important.
How tech workers actually feel about AI in 2026 | Annual AI sentiment survey (Noam Segal)
Q: What stands out about the four archetypes of tech workers you identified?
