I'm on Paris Marx's podcast this week rambling about crypto, AI hype and social media. Oh yeah and Jack Dorsey, our supposed subject. 1 hour. (www.thenation.com)

Paris' editors are awesome and made my hesitant rambling sound snappy and lively too. This came out extremely well.

As a longtime listener to Tech Won't Save Us, I was pleasantly surprised by my phone's notification about this week's episode. David was charming and interesting in equal measure. I mostly knew Jack Dorsey as the absentee CEO of Twitter who let the site stagnate under his watch, but there were a lot of little details about his moderation-phobia and fash-adjacency that I wasn't aware of.

By the way, I highly recommend the podcast to the TechTakes crowd. They cover many of the same topics from a similar perspective.

yeah, anyone who reads TechTakes would delight in Tech Won't Save Us. I particularly recommend the episode with the estimable Tante a few weeks ago.

If you can't stand audio, there are usually transcripts after a few weeks.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
