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.

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.
