Show Notes

On this week’s episode of The Rebooting Show, I was joined by Alex Kantrowitz, who writes the Big Technology newsletter and hosts a podcast of the same name, in order to discuss the year ahead in tech platforms. We covered a lot of ground, including:

  • The slightly unseemly kowtowing to the incoming Trump administration

  • OpenAI’s wonky economics

  • Alex’s bet on AI “companions”

  • Why X has proved doomsayers wrong

  • The bright spot of individual creators amid a lot of media industry gloom
