  • Musk v Altman: Much ado about nothing

    May 21, 2026 · 📺 Decoder with Nilay Patel

    Musk v Altman was nominally about OpenAI's conversion to a for-profit entity, and how it went about that change. But really, the suit seems mostly to have been about Elon Musk being mad at Sam Altman — or at OpenAI, for being successful without him — and wanting him punished in some way. Verge reporter Liz Lopatto spent the last month covering the trial, in all its chaos, and joins Decoder to ask: In a courtroom full of untrustworthy, unreliable people all fighting with each other, did anyone even have a reputation left to lose? 0:00 Intro 1:30 Guest intro — Liz Lopatto on covering the trial…

  • Musk and Altman go to court | The Vergecast

    April 28, 2026 · 📺 The Verge

  • Prediction markets want to be the news | Decoder

    March 05, 2026 · 📺 Decoder with Nilay Patel

    Today let’s talk about prediction markets, which continue to insert themselves into the news cycle and the news itself in increasingly weird, unsettling, and potentially illegal ways. My guest today is Liz Lopatto, a senior reporter at The Verge who owns what we cheerfully call the chaos beat. Liz has been writing a lot about prediction markets lately and especially why they all seem so intent on being perceived as sources of news — a position which directly incentivizes insider trading. That in turn creates a long list of very predictable problems. #predictionmarkets #polymarket #kalshi #ne…

  • The company at the heart of the AI bubble | Decoder

    November 13, 2025 · 📺 Decoder with Nilay Patel and The Verge

    So a lot of people think AI is a bubble. So we sent Verge senior reporter Liz Lopatto out to report on the AI bubble — whether it's real, how it might pop, and what all of this means. She’s joining the show today to talk about a particular company that sits right in the middle of all of it. That company is called CoreWeave, and Liz has spent considerable time diving into its history, its financials, and the truly fascinating story that all of that tells us about the modern AI boom. #coreweave #ai #tech #data Follow Decoder on TikTok: @decoderpod Follow Decoder on Instagram: @decoderpod…

  • Tick Tock, TikTok | The Vergecast

    September 26, 2025 · 📺 The Verge

    After more than five years of backing and forthing, secret meetings and loud screeds, it appears the fate of TikTok in the US has finally been decided. Maybe. There are still a lot of unknowns, but we’re pretty sure we know the bones of the deal — and we know which of President Trump’s allies stand to benefit the most. Before we get to all that, though, David and Jake run through some big news in future gadgets, including the long-awaited-and-maybe-happening combination of Android and ChromeOS and the possibilities for a touchscreen MacBook. Then, The Verge’s Liz Lopatto joins to talk TikTok.…
