Episode Description from the Publisher

It’s easy to feel like Silicon Valley and the rest of America are two different countries these days. In San Francisco, the tech titans are building trillion-dollar companies and racing toward AGI, while the rest of us are worried about gas prices.  But no matter how you feel about them, today’s tech bros are building businesses that may change our lives forever—and as Jensen Huang’s sex scandal proved this week, most of us don’t know anything about them. Enter Molly O’Shea. On her podcast Sourcery, Molly interviews some of the most powerful founders in the world, including Anduril’s Palmer Luckey, Palantir’s Alex Karp, and Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong. She’s the closest thing we have to a tech bro whisperer—and this week on Second Thought, she joins Suzy and Dan to break down what our new aristocracy really wants.  Then, they get into the top tech stories of the moment—like how prediction markets won the midterms, the sexy AI bots stealing comedians’ jokes, and why the new tech trillionaires can never find love.  Plus: Palmer Luckey’s war dogs. Alex Karp’s samurai sword, and the top CEOs prepping for the apocalypse.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
