You're watching TVB. Today is Monday, November 2nd, 2026. We are live from the New York Stock Exchange here in New York. We're in New York Mag. We were featured. Not really featured.
One sentence, more of a footnote, but we're technically in the New York Magazine. We're here with Joe Weisenthal.
Thank you so much for joining us. How you doing?
Love joining the third brother.
Thank you. Thank you for coming to town.
Yes, always here. You know who else is in town? Ramp. Let me tell you about Ramp. Time is money. Save both. Easy-to-use corporate cards, bill pay, accounting, and a whole lot more, all in one place. So, Joe,
Explain the midterms to me. What are the midterms?
Well, you see, in the US Constitution, you know, they elect the president every four years. No, here's the thing. You guys are probably like me in the sense where it's like, I don't know. I feel like very lucky to have a job where I don't have to talk about politics very much. It's like, oh my god, thank God. Like, I guess
Which is crazy because you end up talking about politics maybe like 10 or 100 times more than us.
I know, which is still not very much, but unfortunately, like, sometimes it matters and sometimes you can't talk about markets. You can talk about tech.
Eventually, like, all right, I should learn a little bit about this midterm thing, like you guys. Yeah,
This is my takeaway, you know, is that it seems the expectation from a lot of people is the Democrats are going to have a huge night
In the AI world that you guys should just be paying attention to, the Texas governors right now.
There's basically nobody who is data center build anymore, right? But Abbott is the closest thing to the last man standing.
Yeah, basically. And even he, even he is, he's flinching a little bit.
He's been flinching for months now. So it's like these, like, weird, like, moratoria that are like, oh, we should do a little more environment.
Yeah. You can't, it wouldn't make sense for him to go into the election like super, like, I was even, I was talking with a city council candidate who got endorsed by this, like, crazy group in my town, right, and we're like, that's a little suspicious, like, why'd they do that? And he's like, we're just, you know, like, you know, I'm not committing to anything one way or another, like, you kind of have to, like, play both sides a little bit. So no one is going into the election saying, I'm into data. But some people might actually believe in things like progress and development and technology and stuff like that.
You know, obviously, so much of the tech world, so much of the manufacturing world, etc., sort of sees Texas as the future. Probably deep down, Abbott does himself, but he's been playing it down. But, you know, up until a few weeks ago, the assumption was that it was a lock in Texas. Maybe, you know, the Senate race has been competitive for a while. Now, the Democrat, James Talarico, heavily favored,
But like, no, but the Republican Senate nominee, most people perceive him to be like a deeply flawed candidate, like probably the least competitive Republican they could have picked. Abbott is Abbott, though. He's just like a regular Texas Republican for a long time,
But it's going to, like, now everyone thinks it's going to be close. There was actually a poll last night that came out that had Hinojosa, his competitor, up one. He's down to about 60% in the betting market. So that rounds to 50% in my book.
Yeah. Yeah. I thought they built a
wall. In Brazil it was 80% and then it traded.
What's going on with prediction markets?
I still basically trust markets. Like, I'm at core, yeah, including prediction markets. Like, I doubt any of us know more than what people bet, like, the collective wisdom, that whole thing, like, the collective wisdom of markets. Yeah, I basically believe in this.
Okay. So, so when you see, when you see a 20% to 80% upset, you think, man, this should happen one every five times.
Yeah. I mean, I was pretty surprised, like, deep down. So, this is what I think. This is what I think.
Markets are really good conventional wisdom distillers, and that's actually very valuable. In other words, people will say that as a sneer. They're like, 'Oh, this is just conventional wisdom.' And I'm like, 'No, that's actually really good, because if we say, like, price that.'
Yeah. Because this is a useful thing to have. There's like a meaningful difference between like 55. So we say, 'Oh, this candidate A is favored over candidate B,' right? What was it? 55% or is it 80%?
Yeah. Yeah.
Now we actually have a number that we could put on it. And so it's like, oh, what is that conventional wisdom? So I think that's pretty useful. I, by and large, think it's like hard for most people to confidently look at any market and say like, 'No, this is wrong.' So when a market has a Democrat winning at a 40% chance of winning Texas, my view is like, you got to take that serious.
You got to take that seriously.
That's all I'm saying. That's all I think. Like, it's very unlikely.
Yeah.
Yeah. A lot of people
What about here in New York? Is this an important election?
I don't think there are some people a couple weeks ago who are like trying to make the attorney general's race a thing, but no,
I don't think, but it's not the major swing. Okay.
It might be interesting to see. There's been this talk because, you know, it's a heavily Democratic state. It will remain. So maybe like one possibility is that Democrats have a huge year nationally, or sorry, a huge night nationally, but that like some of the incumbent Democrats of the North do a little bit worse than their brethren. Like some sort of like anti-incumbent bias that hurts them. I would be very shocked if anyone's talking about New York.
Because I just know, just for the election, because I just saw something before we got live, which is that apparently there's like electrical outages in some, in Maricopa County in Arizona. I didn't have a chance to fact-check it, but that feels like a
And we were on the flight yesterday. We spoke with a buddy who's in the legacy media world, and he was coming out for the election, and he's like expecting this to be like all week, basically. Like, he doesn't have his return flight yet.
Interesting. So if it's like, all right, like there's two kinds of peak chaos, I guess. One is apparently there's some big storm coming up the other heart of the country. Have you guys seen the weather? Like, so maybe that'll like, in a depressed election day turnout, there's people who are like looking at the weather and it's like, oh, Democrats. Who do you think is behind the storm?
Data center?
Which side? So, what side
You guys must have had some like weather startup guy, like those cloud seeders.
I know. It's funny because it's like no one really controls the weather. It's like, well, what about those guys you had on? Literally, that's his entire pitch.
You know what I think could be just like a very crazy outcome tomorrow. So like, you know, there's some questions about the Senate and who's going to take the Senate. Number of competitive races could swing Democratic. The one interesting one is that in Michigan, you know, there's the far-left candidate or the left candidate, Abdul El-Sayed. I think it would be a very funny outcome from a sort of like chaos, like people just going absolutely insane online if he ends up being the only competitive Democrat that wins. So it's like if Republicans pulled out in Kansas and Iowa and all these others, but then they lose the one that, like, I'm just thinking what would get people like the most, because you know we live for fighting on Twitter. This is like we wake up to see people arguing. If that were the final outcome, like you would have people just absolutely losing it, 100%.
What do you think of the 4D chess that the tech community is secretly behind the blue wave because they overbuilt AI compute and they want to create bans on compute development so that that reduces supply, that can drive up prices, earn more margin in the short term?
Yeah, because there's a lot of supply coming online. This is a good take because this is just... No, I like this because it gets to one of the things I've been thinking about, which is like,
This actually might be 5D.
They might be in the fifth dimension.
People talk about the AI trade, right, on Wall Street, and the thing that I don't totally understand is like, well, there's no consensus yet on who actually makes money. Let's just say it's like everything goes well, let's just say it all goes well, it's great for the economy. I would still say not obvious consensus on like who the money makers are in that scenario, whether it's the lab companies, right now there's even, yeah, diffusion, like the Microsoft plus Palantir versus OpenAI plus,
Just like, or is it just going to be like the chip makers? Is it going to be everyone else, so the rest of the economy doesn't commoditize? Up top, there's ambiguity on this question.
So like, it certainly seems to me, I love the bottleneck. They want to create bottlenecks, so they're funding data center bans to create more bottlenecks so they can trade them.
Because it's like, no, no, like we want to be the winners again.
Exactly. But I think AI going well to some people just means like 20% GDP growth,
Right? Like that's actually, that's no... But look, there was a survey at a company that I won't name,
I think it was Anthropic, because I thought 40s were really high, but then the average American was really high too.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone is expecting like,
Economists. Yes, that was the funny thing. The economists are like, 'Oh, yeah, hey, it could really drive a huge productivity boom. We might get up to three and a half percent.' But you know, we joke about it, but we all should have... I mean, anytime this comes up, what will be the productivity effects of AI?
It's like, what were the productivity effects of the internet? It's hard to see, you don't see them in the chart, even though, what were the productivity effects of the mobile phone?
I thought I did just see a chart in the Financial Times that showed worker productivity in the United States was growing and it was outpacing other countries. Did you dig into that at all?
I know. Okay. You could attribute it to layoffs, right? Right. And there's, yeah, so there's like a, yeah, like that's probably what it is because ultimately like the US allowed a bunch of people to get laid off and substituted them with checks. So that flatters your productivity for a while.
And also the US is, so that probably started the divergence, and then the US economy has just been much stronger than Europe's for the last several years. It's hard for me to imagine it's a big AI difference, but
Sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah. I mean, in general, are you still feeling that the American consumer is undefeated? It feels like there's all this chaos in the market. There's a lot of fragility where it's like, oh, if this doesn't go perfectly, could be bad, but all of that is basically just froth while
I'm in this bubble in New York City. If you're walking around New York City, you cannot fathom right now that like there's some slowdown.
There are people waiting in line down the block for
New York feels absolutely, you know, everyone's like, I can't get a dinner table.
We see this in LA where people, it'll be like Monday at 10:00 a.m. and there will be lines around the block for a record store.
You know, I'm like, if you're walking around New York City, you could never be convinced that there is a consumer slowdown. I do think that, and even like when you listen to corporate executives speak, it's a little bit ambiguous because I've been hearing, 'Well, we've noticed the consumer is starting to get a little bit more discriminating in their purchasing.' I've been hearing that since 2022, so it's like for every year. So we noticed that the consumer is starting to trade down a little bit.
I don't know. I've seen some back and forth that it still feels like there's a lot of spending in this economy from every sector.
This is the most important thing right now, actually, which is that, you know, you can divide the economy into roughly three sectors. There's the household sector, the business sector, and the government sector.
And where's the gambling sector?
That's a huge part of the business.
I did see an ad on the way here that just said, 'Predict big.'
Predict big. Just predict
I just predict. What do you do on black? You don't really see that big, predict big,
But every one of them is spending. This is the key thing. Households are spending. They're going, they're either like
Selling based, if they're on the top part of the K, they're like selling based on their equity accumulation. If they're on the lower side of the K, they're probably like going deeper into consumer credit. Businesses are spending either from the AI buildout or just like spending on AI, and the government is spending on old people.
Although, did you see Torsten Slok over at Apollo saying, what's his latest? His latest is that basically Fortune 500 having a little bit of indigestion around AI spend outside of the Mag 7. Mag 7 is seeing positive ROI. If you're a tech company, you can immediately deploy the AI agents, improve your software, see an ROI. But if you're in the S&P 500, but you make tires or you do forestry or you do oil and gas, a lot harder to actually improve revenue or actually replace a job because many of the jobs are purely
My stance on this is like, for this, for the overall trade to work, you have to have a massive capabilities jump like soon. Like in Q4 of last year, everyone was like, 'Whoa, it doesn't seem like chatbots are going to be like,' and then you had agents, and it's like, the trade right now requires that, like Elon saying like, yeah, like you have some deceleration, you know, like Anthropic Q3, you see a little bit of deceleration, it's still growing tremendously. And Elon is saying like, you know, basically all the SpaceX projections are like, just focus on supply, right? Which is like, we're going to bring on an insane amount, don't worry about demand, we're bringing on an insane amount of supply, right? And that could prove to be an amazing decision, right?
But we need that capabilities jump like fast.
Yeah. Right now there's no one outside of an engineer that can go to their boss and say, 'I want to spend $10,000 a month on AI.' Yeah, that's pretty hard. So, this is in marketing.
My colleague at Bloomberg today, Todd Gillespie, had a good thing. Goldman is clamping down on its non-technical employees like vibe coding, including its traders, which I thought was pretty telling. And it said it was for both risk and productivity. So, if it was just risk, you know, I know there's some issues with people, there's still anxiety about data sharing and stuff like that, or data retention or whatever, but it was also about the productivity. Yeah. So, it's like maybe not every trader needs to be vibe coding up there and stuff like that.
I thought that was a telling story that speaks to the
tors. Yeah. There's something about an engineer who's actually seen what a month of engineering work does and how hard that is, and they're maybe a little bit more judicious with the
Like, as we know, like I'm a very big believer in what some economists, and I wish I could cite the person who like first either wrote the name, but like they call like the messy jobs thesis. We all have like, you know, within a job we have like 30 tasks, right? And so forth. And so you could say, well, like AI is really good at this task, but it's not really a replacement for someone's job.
Except maybe if you're just producing lots of code, then maybe your job isn't so messy.
There are some jobs that look a lot like repeat tasks.
Yeah. And so yeah, I think what we need to see is like real agency. And I don't mean like, I don't mean agents of like you're telling an agent to go and do something. You need like, you know, right now we have the equivalent of like every company has access to like a hundred PhDs and they just like sit in the room and they don't even talk or they don't even look around, right?
And so I do think the next leg up can come from like, hey, I'm setting a budget cap,
Now use that most effectively to improve my business, right? You know, I've played around
And that's effectively what you do on Meta, which is like you're like, here's how much I'm willing to spend, get me as many customers as you can, right?
And I do feel like what's missing is still true agency, right? And so agents are like almost like,
And the agents that we have today are like really all like sub-agents in some ways, right? That's right. They'll only do things that they're told to do. And so
Well, they're also clones of each other. Like this is like another issue, which is like you think like, oh, if you gathered 100 PhDs in a room and told them to go
Accumulate customers, do whatever, it might actually work. But if it was a hundred of the exact same PhD who had all done the exact same thing,
Alex Emmons, who's over at Google.
Yeah. He's a cool guy. He's talked about this, like part of the reason this hasn't really, like people haven't really cracked like sort of like autonomous multi-agent teams is that it's actually kind of all the same agent. In many cases you sort of need to get a Thunderdome-like battle, make them battle it out with like, get them like genuinely different points of view. And I don't know if anyone cracked the right orchestration for that. I mean, people used to just like turn up the temperature on these. Do you remember this whole thing? But like I
Forgot about temperature.
Temperature, some of these things going back and forth for just getting weirdness up and get it to, let's get some more hallucinations. Yeah. I mean, people were saying like hallucinations are sometimes like a feature more than a bug. Not, you don't always want to hammer it out because you want some creativity.
How are you thinking about your refrigerator at home?
Is it Wi-Fi connected? It's not Wi-Fi connected, but I've had a voice.
I feel like even if it was, you would say that it wasn't.
Lock in and heat up all your beers.
Well, and stomping someone's beer. This is diabolical.
I bought my refrigerator like two years ago. Amazingly, the ice maker works. I've never had it. My whole life I've never had an ice maker work that well.
Yeah. No, my life is pretty good these days. I got the ice maker still working. I do have a Wi-Fi enabled air conditioning, and I hate it.
So like I actually could, it's nice because if like, you know, if I'm coming into town or something like that, I can turn on the air conditioning before I get home.
But I can never, like when the internet is down or whatever, like I don't know where my actual remote controls are.
Use case: agent runs, detects your location at JFK. This is what we're talking about. Now, that would accumulate some tokens. You know, like that's what gets on demand, guys. Let's constantly check in Joe and whether we think he's near.
Have you booked a dinner reservation with artificial intelligence yet?
I have not booked a flight yet either. Okay.
I've tried to book a flight.
And I was just like, no, because it was like, it just like, I, so I tried using Meta AI to book a flight and it like pulled up the United website.
It's hard because like the UI is pretty, there's been decades of work on UI for showing you, does it have a connection, how much does it cost? Like all the information that you want is already vended to you. So
So it's like, actually, look, I'm bullish on that stuff. Like I think it's going to be a really nice thing. People like, do this, do this for me. Oh, I did have, so I was, I said this on the podcast like a week or so ago, but I had four days at home with just, it was just me and the kids. My wife is out of town, and it happened to be a stretch of a few days where there was a lot going on for both kids, you know, parties and stuff, and it was just so nice being able to go into ChatGPT and say, 'Where do I need to be in the next hour?' Okay, now where do I need to be next hour? Just like scan through all my, take a messy calendar and turn it into like an
Like describe one of your children in like a parent-teacher context, ask the AI. It will just nail it. Right. If you're stuck, if you're stuck, you just have no idea what to say.
Dude, do you know what we're referencing?
Oh, this was Marissa Mayer.
Yeah. She has a new startup, and the New York Times kind of
Cherry-picked the worst, most unrelatable quote potentially.
It was rough. What about Halloween? What were you for Halloween?
They're throwing you out. It's very
I have no sense of whimsy.
No. No. No. I have no sense of whimsy.
That doesn't match with my understanding of you at all.
Both my kids, my son was a ninja, my daughter was a fairy. My wife put on a
I like that. Wait, wait. I like that the family, the Weisenthal family, doesn't go for specific intellectual property. Is that to stay away from potential lawsuits?
No, no, no. But it is a lost art to just be like, I'm going as a zombie, as opposed to like, I'm going as the rebooted Frankenstein that features Jacob in it or whatever. Like people love being like a particular moment, a meme, an IP, a character, a moment, a reference.
I like just being, it's a fairy. Yeah, it's
It doesn't need to be thisable. Everyone wants
I love that. Thank you. I got, you know, the dedicated
We got to get Odd Lots to do a Halloween episode.
Yeah, we should, full makeup. We'll introduce you. We have a great, we have a fantastic
Tracy has a sense of whimsy. I don't have
So we'll get her to twist your
Arm. Yeah. Yeah. If you work on Tracy, then she can convince me. But I'm just like, no, I don't believe in fun over here.
We can teach this old dog new tricks.
I wish we had more time.
Thank you so much for joining. Enjoy your tall boy.
I had no idea. I had no idea they made these.
We're doing tall boys on the stream. I'm going to crack mine open right now. Oops. Kind of went everywhere.
Delicious.
But no, they really are throwing you out.
Oh, it's great to see you. Thanks for having me. Thanks for having us in New York.
Welcome to Railway, the all-in-one intelligent cloud provider. Use your favorite agents to deploy web app servers, databases, and more, while Railway automatically takes care of scaling, monitoring, and security. And let me also tell you about Cisco, critical infrastructure for the AI era. Unlock seamless, real-time experiences and new value with Cisco. We have Emily Sunberg coming on next from FeedMe. We will be bringing her in in just a second. Jordi, let me know if there's anything else. I'm going to also tell everyone about Shopify. Shopify is the commerce platform that grows with your business and lets you sell in seconds online, in store, on mobile, on social, on marketplaces, and now until Christmas.
How many? Oh, here we go. Wait, did you do that or did the team know?
The first B-52 flew in 1952. That's a good fun fact. I like that.
Well, we have the perfect authority
Christmas. We're 52 days away from Christmas. Welcome to the show, Emily. Thank you so much for being back here.
Exactly. Halloween. Yes. You guys did a great job with Halloween.
We try. We try. Although we got some very serious feedback from someone who has deeper knowledge than us about Berkshire and said that there were a number of things we got wrong. We didn't have a glass eye, which I should have had. Our clothes, that's Charlie Munger. Our clothes were not threadbare, which was something that they often sport, and
So we went so hard in the morning on Friday
And then we had to take off the outfits around two after the show because it takes like a team of people working to peel back all the layers. It looks
The Hollywood makeup industry live in a time of AI.
We are. But then for Friday night, I was going out to dinner and then to an event, and so I had to put something together. I didn't want to be costumeless. Yeah,
I went as Nathan Fielder. My other friend also went as Nathan Fielder, but he looked so much like Nathan Fielder that the party we were at, everyone, like by the end of it, there was a rumor flying around that the real Nathan Fielder was there, and other Nathan Fielders would walk up to him and be like, 'Hey, I just wanted to say like I'm a big fan. Like I don't mean to like'
He just has natural doppelganger with the right hair color. Right.
Yeah. The pores, the really up close shots of the pores. What were you for Halloween?
I was a good daughter-in-law. I just went to my in-laws' house in Connecticut and took it easy.
What about on Feed Me, on the newsletter? Have you been wall-to-wall Halloween coverage or are you already in Road to Christmas like us?
I am on the road to Christmas, but we did a month-long screening series of scary movies at a movie theater in Brooklyn. We called it Monday Scaries. That was the best deal we could get on renting out the theater was Monday nights. So instead of Sunday Scaries, we did Monday Scaries. It was awesome.
Yeah. What stuck out to you? What's the underrated scary film? What's your favorite?
It was really good. Have you seen Mark Fossen's Creed?
I've never watched a scary movie
Really. I don't think I've watched a horror movie like start to finish.
And then we watched another one called Trick or Treat, which is more of like a campy
Halloween one, which I, yeah, that was great. Everyone loved to hang out. People were sort of like bringing their zines and trading zines. Did free popcorn. It's great.
And so does old magazines,
But zines are like one-off, more curatorial, more DIY.
Yeah, there's a local news boom happening in Brooklyn right now. A lot of it is originating on Substack. So, people are kind of becoming their own little papermen and town criers,
Publishing on Substack, but also printing it and distributing it by hand.
Yeah. They'll put it in like a newsstand just on the street, right?
Exactly. Or like stacking them at cafes and stuff, or bringing them to Feed Me events to get it in the hands of
Is Byline a good example of that?
Byline I would consider a magazine, magazine, not a zine, but there's like the Carroll Gardens Chronicle and the Park Slope Gazette.
I like that. Yeah, it's cute.
That's fun. Okay, so now that we have Halloween behind us, are you fully in the sprint, the road to Christmas?
Yes, I actually said earlier today
Around, so you know how New York Magazine does the approval matrix in the back?
They said that stores that are already playing Christmas music are despicable and lowbrow.
So, I think it must have been a mistake because that's a misprint. They should say highbrow and brilliant.
Yeah, they should correction.
My favorite bar, Pete's Tavern, put up Christmas lights yesterday.
Yeah. I think the big question at this point in Q4 is like, how do you honor and respect Thanksgiving while properly giving Christmas attention and giving it enough time to bake, right?
Yeah. I think they can share decorations and spirit.
Yeah. I see Thanksgiving more as like a speed bump in the road.
It's like Christmas, Christmas. You get one day, celebrate Thanksgiving, back to Christmas.
Thanksgiving is part of the Christmas season.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
It is. It's easy to blend in aesthetic.
Oh, well. Reflect. So, you're one of the most classic overnight successes, correct?
Yeah. Yeah. Four years now in the making.
How is it going? Take us back through some of the early days.
Oh gosh. Year one of Feed Me, I started it at my desk at Meta, famously Hudson Yards office.
Oh, sort of full circle moment with the Mark Zuckerberg interview. There you go.
Yeah, totally. I got to shove it, and then you're like, now you got to talk to
I got a super positive response, right?
Yeah, that was so fun. We were together when that was happening. Real blast.
Yeah, it's, when I started writing on Substack, I didn't ever expect that it would be a full-time job or even something where I started hiring people and had like a built-out
Company, media company, and now I'm getting photos of people running the marathon with the Feed Me hat, or people who are in an airport in London who see the Feed Me hoodie. It's a really good feeling. And on top of that, I feel like we all embrace sort of fun as part of this job.
When you start a business that is kind of a little piece of culture, it also sort of cracks open the world for you, and you get so many interesting experiences, and you meet so many cool people, and you get access to secret rooms and secret gardens, and like I just
If it all was over tomorrow, I'd be so happy. Like it's been such a fun ride. I'm so happy I started when I did and that I've been able to play around over the last few years.
What's the latest growth initiative? Is that the job board or is there other stuff going on?
Job board isn't really a growth initiative. It's just like a fun thing to build. We started a podcast last year called Expense Account.
Remember Joe Weisenthal was one of the first guests. Fantastic episode.
Overlaps. Go listen to it if you want more Joe.
I think I was, last time I was here we
were discussing the launch. Since then, we signed a production deal with Higher Ground, which is the Obamas' production company, which is cool. Um, we've been doing a lot more events. I mean, that movie series was one.
We're throwing a pie contest this month with Walmart, which should be a blast. We have a big poker game next week.
Pie contest. Yeah. You want to do debate?
I feel like tree lighting ceremony.
Tree lighting ceremony. They do one here at the New York Stock Exchange. So, yeah, I think you're in the major leagues here in New York in terms of tree lighting. You're going up against some of the most elite tree lighting ceremonies, but if you can play in this league, you can play anywhere in the league.
How have you tried to balance covering AI? Because something that's...
AI has become so unavoidable that every single media company, podcast, newsletter, etc. is now effectively like an AI whether they want to or not. It feels like there's just like... Yeah. No matter what the category of podcast it's in, whether it's like politics or a movie podcast and then you're like, well, we got to talk about how AI will affect movies, or you could be a health podcast.
I mean, because in some way it feels like in some ways like TVPN emerged at a time when every tech show was focused on politics.
Not every, but like a lot of them were focused on politics. And by not focusing on politics, we created like people were like it was refreshing to people. And so it feels like there's almost like an opportunity right now to have like a business and culture thing that's just like yeah, we're just not going to talk about that. There's plenty of other...
Yeah. I mean, it would be impossible to write about culture and business without touching upon AI. I would say it's not like a beat of ours that I'm like consistently keeping my readers up with. Like I don't think anybody's reading Feed Me to know what's the latest of what's happening in AI, but whether you're writing about, you know, literary magazines or hiring or art or even like food ordering systems, like it does creep into everything.
