A lighthearted and humorous conversation between the speakers sharing anecdotes about interactions with celebrities, including dinner invitations and personal messages. They also discuss decorating a wealthy person's house to discourage children and guests, along with receiving unique gifts like a custom pillow from Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The chapter touches on topics like the community's wealth gap, service workers' wages post-COVID, and manipulation of housing permits to drive up property prices.
Kara and Scott discuss Nvidia’s roller coaster week, Waymo making robotaxis available for everyone in San Francisco, and what's next for Julian Assange after his release. Then, the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Biden administration in a social media content moderation case. Will that set a precedent for future social media/misinformation rulings? Plus, Volkswagen gives Rivian a $5 billion shot in the arm. Is the deal a win-win for both companies? Finally, a listener challenges Scott on whether OpenAI should really be a for-profit company.
