Hi, I'm Eric Newcomer. With this podcast, I dive straight into the heart of the tech industry, interviewing top investors and founders. I’m bringing my sensibility as someone who understands the inside story of Silicon Valley but who is happy to poke and prod as to why the tech world operates like it does.

Hey Ali - how are you spending the $32M you got from selling shares in December as mentioned in January Tender Offer’s disclosure docs? Silencing Databricks female staffers who didn’t submit to your perversions and filed sexual harassment lawsuits? Bribing news agencies to publish false DBRX LLM and TPCDS performance claims, so you could dangle the IPO carrot and continue hiring and brainwashing? While everyone slaves away at DBX for that elusive IPO, you and Amy Reichanadter are destroying the company one day at a time. Shameful and despicable, how do you both sleep at night? (your cocaine habit helps you stay awake. Have you got Amy hooked on snow too?)
In December '23, two Databricks founders and one board member each amassed $32M by selling their shares at $65. This was disclosed in the Jan '24 stock buyback's risk documents issued by Databricks itself. Quite a standout company since its valuation hasn't gone down from the peak of 2021 and is able to get the same multiples! Great ROI for employees and investors when it goes public!
Fantastic interview. I'm a big fan of Sarah. Eric - I saw your ad on Twitter and have been checking out your content. You do super high quality stuff. Great work!
Will you please announce that Inflection has COMPLETELY DESTROYED Pi? As of a few days ago, it is DEAD. It was the only meaningfully emotionally intelligent AI, and it has been given a complete lobotomy.
They look like third world people talking about money in a very bad english, ignorance and silliness at best, america is a bad human experiment no to repeat
