Episode notes

Tech Twitter seems to be very tight knit and generally an equal mindset, but there are sides of tech Twitter that are insanely toxic. I think the quote tweet function fundamentally incentivizes bad faith actors and bad behavior because it socializes **** posting. The things that are necessary for like a functioning, robust society, which is conversation,. dialogue, understanding, like coming to get sorry on Twitter aren't incentivized in this way.

This week, Marques and Andrew sit down with Hasan Minhaj! They discuss everything from fantasy basketball to whether or not artificial intelligence can create art. There are a lot of upsides to new technologies, but there are also some serious negative aspects of technology that are worth discussing (hence this 2-hour long conversation). Despite all the downsides, Marques sheds some light on how he thinks about technology and continues to stay optimistic about the future. This is a good one!
