The way you’ve flipped the pancake on the bad actors in your industry and inability to call out the grift going on by the White House is hugely disappointing. CZ gets pardoned and you call this “controversial”?? Your listeners have longer memories.

Nic’s amoral embrace of all things AI strikes me as particularly soulless. And shameless. Very useful to him no doubt but on the human level, appalling. I am disgusted.
I’ve really grown into Nic and Matt and am a big fan of their delivery.
