E175 • Apr 20, 2024 • 97 mins

In this episode, Chamath shares insights from the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony and discusses "High IQ foods". The team gives an All-In Summit update and talks poker styles. They also discuss Google's recent firing of protestors, chaos at NPR, and Humane's AI Pin review by Marques Brownlee. The team debates a startup tax crisis affecting R&D deductions, and a sports betting scandal involving NBA player Jontay Porter. The episode concludes with tips on improving chess skills and childhood Bestie schemes.

Key Points

  • NPR's new CEO, Katherine Maher, faced backlash for her past tweets and a statement criticizing an employee's essay on NPR's political bias, leading to discussions on the organization's funding and ideological stance.
  • NBA player Jante Porter was banned for life after being involved in a betting scandal where he allegedly manipulated his performance to influence betting outcomes.
  • A tax change now requires companies to amortize R&D expenses over five years, causing financial strain for startups and potentially hindering innovation in the US.
