I love it when these dorks call us the mainstream media
This is exactly why people are abandoning mainstream media: cheap insults instead of actual reporting You don’t have to agree with @DavidSacks on everything, but pretending he “sucks” while ignoring his actual track record is unserious. A few reminders: -Co-founded PayPal, one of the most consequential fintech platforms in history. -Built Yammer, sold to Microsoft for $1.2B -Backed Airbnb, SpaceX, Facebook, Uber, OpenAI, and Palantir in their early days -Hosts All-In, one of the most influential political podcasts -Major philanthropist and consistent supporter of free speech and open debate If the media wants to rebuild trust, maybe start by covering people honestly instead of writing headlines like YouTubers chasing clicks

I had the privilege of stepping in and hosting an episode of the great @DecoderPod for @reckless, and interviewing @decisionleader. We talk about her work at $GOOGL and much more. Check it out!

Yesterday I had the great opportunity to sit down with @reckless and @pierce from @verge to talk Tuneshine and Tariffs Even if the US catches up on manufacturing, we’re in for a drought of hardware innovation in the US over the next few years due to added uncertainty and cost.

Back for round 2! Thoroughly enjoyed my convo with @reckless, editor-in-chief of @verge on his Decoder pod. Listen as we discuss all things video, Hollywood, GenAI and Tubi’s take on the F-word in streaming (aka flywheel) 🔄 theverge.com/24178580/tubi-c…

“What we needed to do was steal moves from the platforms.” @verge's @reckless explains to @chaykak how news websites are luring readers back to homepages as social referrals stall. newyorker.com/culture/infini…

Thank you @reckless for having me on your show @verge and for the great conversation! We covered it all, from the future of AI and what's after ChatGPT, to distributed work and how Dropbox got rid of all our offices, to our nostalgia for Winamp and manually organizing MP3s! 🥳
