Update - this person has developed AI psychosis.
The pace of her damn talk is fast but the info is great. I wish apple podcasts offered more speeds under 100 than just 50
Most rebellious and insightful tech podcast available
I love Taylor’s work and respect her but the editing on the Brian Merchant episode was so poor that it was almost un-listenable. Sections played over again, out of order, partial ads cut in randomly. Very very distracting and hard to follow the conversation, which seemed like it was probably very good.
Taylor manages to break down complex topics into easily understandable snippets. I’d never know as much as I do about Silicon Valley and the Tech elite if it wasn’t for her. Thank you so much!
