And finally, a round of HatGPT with the week’s tech headlines, including a spicy LinkedIn post and an A.I. test that disturbs Kevin and Casey’s sense of reality.

Chris Dixon is just a bullshitter. He doesn't know anything and he talks nonsense. You asked him to explain why crypto failed and talked about the promise of the Internet, and at the very end, he stapled on a claim that crypto will make it possible. It is absolute nonsense and trash. You guys should be ashamed to continue to platform charlatans, hucksters, and mountebanks. They make you seem like ignorant, gullible, obsequious twits.
