.@jeffbercovici @Inc @OliviaZaleski @Bloomberg on robots pros/cons, recent news, future of ai-w/@jason-THX @geteero News Roundtable! Joining Jason is @jeffbercovici of @Inc and @OliviaZaleski of @bloomberg. The tech industry is moving at high speed; we are in the age of advancement. Companies are getting bigger, M&A and investment are going crazy -- but this leads to a lot of odd behavior in Silicon Valley. A riveting discussion that kicks off with the Hampton Creek controversy, while Jeff notes that the balance of power has become tilted between investors and founders. The conversation then segways to Peter Tiel executing greatest revenge in history by bankrupting Gawker, lending to the broader theme about fear of the power of wealthy people to go after publications they dislike. A debate over good journalism ensues, and the discussion ends with the group speculating about the future of robots and AI.
