One of the biggest blows to the state of tech discourse on here was when Chris Gilliard (@hypervisible) left this platform. This excellent interview is a great conversation about smart glasses, and a reminder of some of the fantastic tech critics who are no longer on here.

Always a great time speaking with @Tweetermeyer about Tesla and the wider auto industry. I learn so much every time I get to pick his brain. Don’t miss our conversation!
Tesla was supposed to be an EV company, but as Elon Musk tries to become a trillionaire, he needs it to be about much more. This week @Tweetermeyer joins @parismarx to discuss the state of Tesla and other companies’ efforts to overtake it on EVs Full ep: https://t.co/LLj25p5BLq

Thanks so much to Paris for having me on @techwontsaveus !! Definitely give the episode a listen if you wanna hear us talk about Palantir, Peter Thiel, the antichrist, and related matters :)
Thrilled to have @car0linehaskins on the show to talk Palantir! It’s been wildly successful under Trump, so it’s time to get a better idea of what it’s actually up to.

I really enjoyed reading @abenanav’s vision for a new kind of economic system — one where we have more authority over production and more freedom in our lives. It entails using technology in a very different want, and by extension building it much differently too.
The technologies we have are shaped by our society and the economic incentives that drive their development. This week @abenanav joins @parismarx to discuss his vision for a more democratic, equitable economy and what it means for tech. Full ep: https://t.co/bCfybOBr6f

the one and only @bcmerchant graced me with his presence to discuss whether AI will kill your job and the bubble is about to burst. oh, and i made him listen to a story about canada’s terrible AI minister.
AI companies warn their tech will wipe out huge numbers of jobs. But what are workers finding? This week @bcmerchant is back to chat with @parismarx about whether the AI bubble is bursting and how bosses are using AI hype against workers. Full ep: https://t.co/G008VnKiU1
