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!

This conversation explores a new economic vision that puts people at its core, shaking up how we create and use technology. This approach champions technology that serves real human needs and fosters inclusive innovation. W/ @abenanav on @techwontsaveus buff.ly/bFH9xHQ

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: techwontsave.us/episode/293_a_…
