Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Agentic Workflows and the State of the AI Hype Cycle, with Sam Hogan
Q: How do you see the current cycle of AI as opposed to the previous cycles like ZERP era of 21 or pre-COVID?
I wouldn't say broadly that we're in a bubble, but I think some categories are overfunded.
Fixing the San Francisco Party, with Madison Kanna
Q: How did everything get started?
It started as a Twitter joke about the lack of women in SF, leading to the creation of a group chat and organizing parties for women.
Fixing the San Francisco Party, with Madison Kanna
Q: What are your top two favorite parties that you've been to in San Francisco?
Madison mentions her own party and the Freedom Parties as favorites, with a humorous jab making it a soft question.
The Rise of the Anonymous Tech Twitter Account, with Spor
Q: Do you personally see the utility in anonymous accounts anymore?
I do see utility, but I wouldn't be so hung up on protecting my identity like before, as I've realized the value of Twitter as a space.
The Rise of the Anonymous Tech Twitter Account, with Spor
Q: How have you seen the Anonymous account evolve during your time online?
It has become more accepted and even more cool to have an anonymous account, but there's also an influx of posers, leading to a shift in the culture of these accounts.
