  • Love the show, but chill on the sound board high

    Love the show, but please chill on the sound board high and low voices. It takes away from the content - can’t understand a word.

  • Boys interrupted

    TBPN covers tech industry topics really well such as AI, big companies, all that stuff. The hosts know their material. But they talk over each other constantly, even interrupt guests sometimes, which gets annoying. It’s worth listening to if you care about tech, but they need to chill with the interruptions.

  • Egregious soundboard use

    I’m a fan, but the soundboard use (especially the low/high voices) makes the show unlistenable at times.

Letter Enthusiasts, Open Source vs. Closed Source, Mega-Startup School | Luke Knight & Ronan Chambers, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jonathan Jacobi, Dean Meyer, Brent Franson, Matej Cernosek, Justin Boitano
Q: What is the Open Secure AI Alliance aiming to achieve?
To provide defenders with access to frontier open systems and tools to scan, patch, and defend critical infrastructure, while avoiding blanket bans and maintaining innovation.
Leopold is Back! Big Tech Earnings, Defense Tech Deep Dive | Richard Craib, Trae Stephens, Blake Resnick
Q: Could you kick us off with a little bit of background for anyone unfamiliar with your career, your business, and why it's relevant to talk to you today?
Craib explains Numerai as a SF-based quant hedge fund that trades stocks using AI, outlining the contrast between pure AI bets and traditional risk factors, and emphasizes a low-volatility approach to achieve alpha.
Martin Shkreli Breaks Down the Collapse of Situational Awareness
Q: Can you walk us through what it actually takes to unwind a big position in a public market?
The process is multifaceted: you don't just dump shares; you manage market impact by selling into the screens quietly when possible, calling banks to test appetite, coordinating with market makers to gauge size, and often engaging in a staged exit to avoid a panic, all while monitoring priors, counterparties, and potential buyers for liquidity over days rather than minutes.
Martin Shkreli Breaks Down the Collapse of Situational Awareness
Q: What were the last 24 hours like, and what does this tell us about risk in today's markets?
Shkreli describes a volatile, almost unprecedented correction in AI-related assets, driven by leverage mispricing and crowd behavior, where liquidity and counterparty risk can overwhelm fundamentals, and where every big move is amplified by the scale of positions and the readiness of institutions to step in or step out.
