I did in fact have fun! If the quick-hit format turns out to be worth your time, I have to say I quite enjoy it, and I hardly count myself as a TikTok-obsessed zoomer.

I've been a little bit sad that Ed Z dropped the rapid-fire 15-minute format once he hit the podcast big time. I really appreciated that format's conciseness; not sure if you'd want to pick that sort of thing up. I have to wonder if it's easier or harder to book people for such a delimited time slot.

I'm convinced that these people have no choice but to do their next startup, especially if their names are already prominent in the press like Sutskever and Murati. Once you're off the grift train, there is no easy way back on. I guess you can maybe sneak back in as a VC staffer or an independent board member, but that doesn't seem quite as remunerative.

Bruce Wayne asserts to Alfred in The Dark Knight that "Batman has no limits." But what if, and this has gone totally unconsidered by anyone up until now... Buttman also has no limits????

Central Preference Vector seems like a fantastic band name if some producer was trying to mainstream industrial music

It helps sanewash their own prejudices. "See, this guy could be talked down from the worst of it, aren't we reasonable by comparison?"

lol wow, I'm cackling at Gackle. Perhaps we can call his brand of caping for polo-shirt fascism "gackin' off"
