I love it when these dorks call us the mainstream media
3 Dec 2025
This is exactly why people are abandoning mainstream media: cheap insults instead of actual reporting
You don’t have to agree with @DavidSacks on everything, but pretending he “sucks” while ignoring his actual track record is unserious.
A few reminders:
-Co-founded PayPal, one of the most consequential fintech platforms in history.
-Built Yammer, sold to Microsoft for $1.2B
-Backed Airbnb, SpaceX, Facebook, Uber, OpenAI, and Palantir in their early days
-Hosts All-In, one of the most influential political podcasts
-Major philanthropist and consistent supporter of free speech and open debate
If the media wants to rebuild trust, maybe start by covering people honestly instead of writing headlines like YouTubers chasing clicks

Yesterday I had the great opportunity to sit down with @reckless and @pierce from @verge to talk Tuneshine and Tariffs
Even if the US catches up on manufacturing, we’re in for a drought of hardware innovation in the US over the next few years due to added uncertainty and cost.

I really enjoyed my conversation with @reckless , editor-in-chief at @verge on the Decoder podcast. We talked a lot about Zoom's 2.0 journey, and our vision for AI Companion and Zoom Workplace, and everything we do to help our customers work happy.

“What we needed to do was steal moves from the platforms.” @verge's @reckless explains to @chaykak how news websites are luring readers back to homepages as social referrals stall.

Thank you @reckless for having me on your show @verge and for the great conversation! We covered it all, from the future of AI and what's after ChatGPT, to distributed work and how Dropbox got rid of all our offices, to our nostalgia for Winamp and manually organizing MP3s! 🥳

1000 years from now, historians are going to get headaches trying to deconstruct the meta-meanings of this article by @reckless about printers, but in this very moment it feels like a zeitgeist snapshot of life online. It's art.

I was so so pleased to go on @reckless / @verge's Decoder podcast to talk about FILTERWORLD and how distribution shapes content online. As a longtime listener I was offended, however, that Nilay didn't ask about my org chart or decision framework theverge.com/24094338/kyle-c…
