Well well well. Sam Bankman-Fried aka SBF aka Sam Buttman-Fart was found GUILTY on all counts and will be sentenced soon. The Bored Ape Yacht Club nerds get their eyes burned at a party in Hong Kong. And have you noticed that Amazon search results are terrible lately? It’s not just you. Newly unredacted parts of the FTC complaint show Amazon was not only anti-competitive to an evil extent, but seemed hellbent on making the customer experience worse and worse in the name of more profits. PLUS we've got Elon Musk revealing GROK, X’s new edgelord AI bot, and a market update from Stan Druckenmiller. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

ITS OUR 50TH EPISODE AND WE HAVE A SURPRISE!
As if our tech overlords couldn't be any lamer or more cringe, the marketing folks at Canva dropped the most amazing, gut-wrenching promotional stunt we've seen in years. Plus, $NVDA drops another banger of a quarter, Ben gives his take on some stocks, Google AI search results are hallucinating like they're on drugs, Vivek bought a stake in $BZFD, and Chipotle is under fire for criminally small portion sizes. Ok I'm out of breath.

The Meatball Special Episode 4: How to sell a TV show

We lost a big one, guys. A true legend. Above all else...a chainsmoker. We take a moment this week to talk about Jim Simons, who he was, and why you should care. Then we've also got a couple young guys who died suddenly at Bank of America, which is...bad. But anyway then we're talkin about HIMS now offering GLP-1 drugs, and of course, finally, we gotta talk about the ongoing drama over at OpenAI. Sam Altman is clearly a little drama slut.

BAES 49: RIP to the baddest chainsmoker

WE ARE SO BACK BABY!! Or are we...? A single tweet from Roaring Kitty has single handedly ignited a firestorm of trading in Gamestop and AMC stocks. So is he really back? Is he aping fat bags? Ben has a theory that might upset you.
Also we're covering the absolutely insane announcements from OpenAI that are truly game changing. All this and more on this week's BAES.

BAES 48: Gamestop is back + the future is BRIGHT

This week we've got the brilliant  @julesterpak  on to talk about how the proliferation of technology, social media, and the internet at large are shaping society right under our oblivious noses. Is it too late to save the masses? Are we better off reverting to dumb phones? What is happening to our stupid little brains and who is going to step in and do something about it?
