Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Next - Iran’s New Nepo Ayatollah
Q: What do you think Mojtaba Khamenei's first moves suggest about the direction of Iran under his leadership?
Wood argues that Mojtaba's track record shows power concentrated in shadows, with no clear signs of rapid modernization; the leadership is likely to pursue a steady, status-quo oriented approach while tightly integrating with the IRGC, making dramatic liberalization unlikely in the near term.
What Next - Iran’s New Nepo Ayatollah
Q: So before we talk a little bit more about who the new Supreme Leader is, I'm wondering if you can explain briefly what Iran's governing structure looks like and what the role is for someone with the title of Supreme Leader.
Graeme Wood explains that Iran's governance blends an authoritarian religious order with a modern state structure, where the Supreme Leader — originally chosen by a clerical assembly — sits atop both spiritual and political power, with real influence over the military, diplomacy, and key institutions, while other elected bodies operate within that framework.
Slate Money - A.I. Is a Hyperobject
Q: What is your take on the idea that AI is screaming toward a disruptive future for big tech?
Ford contends there will be continued disruption but not a mass extinction of mega-cap tech; instead, AI shifts incentives, speeds up experimentation, and creates new competitive dynamics among incumbents and new entrants.
Slate Money - A.I. Is a Hyperobject
Q: How do you see the future of coding with AI changing the software industry?
Ford argues that AI enables a broader set of people to build useful software quickly, reducing barriers and potentially reshaping competition between large platforms and smaller developers.
Slate Money - A.I. Is a Hyperobject
Q: What is it that your clients were wanting?
Ford explains that many clients seek practical, cost-effective software solutions tailored to their organizations, especially those with limited budgets, rather than expensive, bespoke enterprise systems.
