Marc Benioff has had a lot to say about San Francisco lately. My new story out in @sfstandard today finds that not only is he increasingly checked out of the city — he’s not even registered to vote here

Karolina spent years idolizing raw vegan influencers on Instagram. She went to Bali to meet them — and never came home. My deep dive on fruitarianism — a group of people who exclusively eat raw fruit — is up on NY Mag today.

You think this is a story about one incredibly unwell, awful woman but then it quotes her VC peer saying surrogacy should allow for better filtering of the "database of wombs" and you realize it's a story about tech/VC culture, which is a threat to us all

Inside OpenAI, there's a growing paranoia that some of its loudest critics are being funded by Elon Musk and other billionaire competitors. Now, they are going after these nonprofit groups, but their evidence of a vast conspiracy is often extremely thin
