  • Gone downhill, now unlistenable

    This used to be an interesting balanced discussion, and is now so biased and self-obsessed that it has become torturously bad. As a long time listener, it’s a shame that the entire podcast has become as bad as Scott-free-August, and forced my unsubscribe.

    Scott, it’s not horniness, it’s vulnerability that makes you hot. Keep crying.

  • Grew tiresome

    This used to be my favorite podcast but has grown tedious. The hosts’ dueling humblebrags smother any useful content. The progressive political POV conversations now overwhelm the tech and business topics which was the original draw for me. “Resist & Unsubscribe” has never been adequately explained, and I agree with other reviewers who cite the hypocrisy of the Amazon stock pick of the year.

  • Kara, scott is bringing you down

    I love the dynamic between these two, but sadly i feel they should stick to weekly unrecorded coffee dates. Scott is consistently wrong, under researched, and repetitive. I’ve been listening for 6 years, but sadly unsubscribed

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran Ceasefire Uncertainty, Democratic Wins, and Musk vs. Altman
Q: Okay, Rahm, let's hear a prediction.
A prediction that nobody will be held accountable for playing the prediction market with inside information, expressing deep skepticism about regulatory bodies like the CFTC, SEC, and DOJ failing to act.
Iran War Spin, Trump's Legal Losses, and TMZ Targets Politicians
Q: What is the stated goal of the Iran war speech according to the hosts?
The hosts argue it is framed as a move to project power and potentially justify ground troops, with implications for regional dominance and the US's strategic posture.
Resist and Unsubscribe with Gov. Tim Walz
Q: What was the agenda behind Resist and Unsubscribe, and how did you plan to signal opposition to government actions through corporate behavior?
The goal was to create a sustained, non-violent pressure on companies and leaders by encouraging organized unsubscribing and signaling to shareholders that policy-following and data surveillance have real costs, aiming to diversify the actions of the public beyond mere online outrage.
Paramount Wins Warner Bros. Bid, Anthropic vs. Pentagon, and AI Doomsday Memo
Q: Anthropic has rejected the Pentagon's demands for unfettered access to Clawed; what does this mean for the government's leverage in AI procurement?
Dario Amodi framed the move as a stance on safety and governance, indicating the company will not compromise its safety pledge, even amid competitive pressure, which may encourage broader industry caution but could also bolster Anthropic's brand as a safety-first option.
Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope: On with Kara Swisher
Q: What advice do you give to people to keep going?
People are ready and saying they want to know what to do; getting trained and developing community are key.
