Episode description

Elon Musk trolled Jessica on X—at least, that’s how it seems.

Was it just a marketing stunt for Grok 3, with The Information as the sacrificial lamb?

Plus, Humane’s AI pin flopped, but HP swooped in for a $160M “rescue.”

What does this mean for the AI hardware race? Sam has some strong opinions (spoiler: he’s not a fan of AI printers).

And the internet’s latest rabbit hole: Could Jack Dorsey actually be Satoshi?

Social media is unraveling, AI is becoming hyper-personalized (maybe too much so), and the next wave of consumer tech is either flopping or skyrocketing at warp speed.

All that—plus the latest chaos in AI, Big Tech, and beyond—on Episode 87 of More or Less.
