If you were stuck in a bunker with a tech billionaire, who would you pick? Someone chooses Bill Gates because he liked their novel, while another person thinks Mark Cuban would be fun. Scott thinks Larry and Sergey would have the best drugs, but ultimately chooses Bill Gates because he finds him the most interesting and smart. They discuss wanting power to zap each other, and praise Naomi Alderman's book as thoughtful and fantastic.
Kara and Scott discuss Tesla recalling 2 million vehicles, Netflix revealing viewership statistics, and a couple of….terrifying liquids. Then, nearly 200 countries have approved a global pact that calls for transitioning away from fossil fuels at COP28. And Epic Games has beat Google in court, with a jury ruling the company violated antitrust laws. Then we’re joined by Friend of Pivot, Naomi Alderman, on her new book, “The Future.”
