Hear Thea Riofrancos introduce me to the concepts of Lootable Assets and Sacrifice Zones and spend the next day seeing them all around you - this is a recommendation btw for an excellent discussion of how to get out of the Carbon economy

🚨419. The Launch of a Stillborn God🚨 We chat about the disappointing launch and reception of GPT-5 and what this massive claims-reality gap tells us about an overactive industry propelled by grand social forces of capital accumulation to produce tech that's good for ???
🚨417. Whose AI Bubble Is It Anyways? (ft. Paris Marx, Brian Merchant)🚨 We're joined by @parismarx and @bcmerchant to chat about the vast proliferation of AI bubbles across the US, Europe, and China—and their competing visions of the ideal global value chain for AI.
