Today’s episode is for the media nerds out there. I’m talking to author/podcaster extraordinaire Kevin Roose: New York Times tech columnist, Hard Fork cohost, and the author of 3.25 excellent books on the subcultures of AI, Wall Street, and evangelical Christianity.
I’ve known Kevin since I was a freshman in college, when Young Money single-handedly persuaded me not to become an investment banker. It took another 7 years for me to realize that writing was the One True Path, but I’m now helping him with a new book on the inside story of the race to build AGI. Among other things, we discuss:
* Wall Street vs. Silicon Valley vs. evangelical culture
* Why does tech hate journalists so much?
* Storytelling tips for young writers
* Will nonfiction books will survive AGI?
* AI hot take lightning round
