Jess, Sam, Brit, and Dave are back on More or Less with plenty to unpack—from Meta and Google’s AI sprawl to Snap’s fading relevance and the monetization questions hanging over tech.
Here’s what they get into:
– Why OpenAI is crushing the consumer AI game
– Sam’s new startup: The Ruck Rock fitness empire
– Meta’s AI app confusion (and Ray-Ban power moves)
– Snap’s ad crash—and a left-field fix involving Sam Altman
– AI and mental health: the risks no one’s talking about
Plus: the parenting trick Meghan Markle and Sam both swear by—and why Dave might soon be replaced by an AI on the board.
