We’ve got something special for you today. It’s my friend Hank Green, longtime internet creator, science educator, and viral TikTok star, interviewing Dropout CEO Sam Reich, now in full video on our Decoder YouTube channel.
Hank did this episode as a guest host last summer while I was out with our new baby, and it’s a fan favorite, bringing together two internet personalities that’ve known each other for a very long time and who have a lot of inside knowledge about how the internet, Hollywood, and entertainment all intertwine. We think it’s one of the best episodes of Decoder we put out last year, and it’s honestly just a really fun conversation. Here’s the full transcript in case you want to read, rather than watch, the interview.
CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar on how ChatGPT became an “existential moment” for Stack Overflow.
“Grow up, Mr. President. Grow up, Brendan Carr.”
Square’s Willem Avé on AI automation, investing in crypto, and what it’s like working for Jack Dorsey.
