  • Where the real thinking gets done

    The space where resistance and technological prowess meets is very narrow. It’s hard to find people who have the tech chops, love innovation, but aren’t handmaidens to the cult of AI.

    This podcast is a place for thinking well on stuff that matters and will have multi-generational impact. I love it.
