  <p>AI is transforming what we buy—and how we buy it. On the final podcast of the year, Paul and Rich are joined by Dan Frommer, founder of <em>The New Consumer</em>, to talk through his brand-new Consumer Trends Report for 2026. First, they discuss shifting consumer dynamics over the past few decades, from the rise of digital-native direct-to-consumer brands to the omnipresence of the TikTok Shop. Then, they dig into <em>New Consumer </em>survey results around our current moment in AI, particularly the generational differences towards the technology. </p>

First, the Christian LLM company Gloo, currently headed by former Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger, which is building technologies for the “faith ecosystem.” Then, Sam Altman’s recent announcement that OpenAI will begin producing erotic content for verified users. In one version of our AI future, there’s room for lots of smaller companies with different values and frameworks—but when this technology has been so quickly dominated by just a few giant players, is that future impossible?</p>

But we’re a long way from the average consumer being able to get what they want with the push of a button. What do these two divergent paths suggest about the trajectory of the AI industry? </p>

• Is Search Really the Future of AI? Sep 9, 2025

  <p>Millions of people are using AI tools to search—so what does that mean for search engines? On this week’s podcast, Paul and Rich dive into (the questionably named) “GEO,” or Generative Engine Optimization. After an overview of Google’s classic model, they explore the ways AI is currently upending the search world, and speculate about what might emerge in the years to come. If LLMs cannibalize all the content on the web, what will be left to search in the future?</p>

Topics discussed include his early interest and adoption of generative AI tools, the types of problems his marketing clients are trying to tackle with AI, and why the tech industry seems to be missing the true potential of AI in its messaging.</p>

  The function of AI is not simply to generate stuff, but to make things more fun—and more useful.

• Asking a Squirrel to Explain Politics Aug 20, 2024

  <p>By emphasizing the chatbot use case, are we missing the real communication powers of generative AI? On this week’s Reqless, Paul describes his recent journey to understand the 900-page, far-right master plan that is Project 2025—which he fed into ChatGPT and then asked for its contents to be summarized by “​a ​really ​cheerful, ​optimistic ​squirrel.” With the power to instantly change voice and tone—for humor, to accommodate different reading levels, to speak with different dialects, etc.—is AI’s future role a sort of universal information translator?</p>

• Why Facebook Gives AI Away Aug 13, 2024

  <p>Are Meta’s ideas about AI the future of the technology? In the wake of the recent tech stock slump and with questions about newer AI companies’ true value, Paul and Rich look at Meta’s Llama and how the company is positioning its model in the broader AI landscape. Plus: They assess the recent decision in <em>United States v. Google LLC</em>—aka the Google antitrust case—and see if there are any real takeaways to be gleaned before what promises to be a lengthy appeals process.</p>

• Crashes Can Be Motivating Aug 6, 2024

  In tech downturns, there’s a thrill in seeing what people build with less.

• Will AI Take Your Job? Aug 6, 2024

  <p>It’s easy to make blanket claims about “AI taking jobs”—but what does AI mean for specific industries in the near-term? On this week’s Reqless, Paul and Rich run through five careers (musician, advertiser, teacher, therapist, and consultant) and assess the ways AI might—and might not—change work. Plus: Paul describes himself as the “slightly grumpy girlfriend” as he and Rich reminisce about going to see beloved indie band Low together.</p>

• Why So Bad, AI Ads? Jul 30, 2024

  AI marketing should show enhancement, not replacement.

• Will AI Change Spreadsheets? Jul 30, 2024

  <p>On this week’s Reqless, Paul and Rich look at how AI might affect the dominant way people organize data today: The spreadsheet. With its low barrier to entry and ability for users of all sorts to hack together solutions, does the humble spreadsheet leave any room for an AI transformation—and does it even need one? Plus: Fresh off a trip to San Francisco, Paul reports back on our driverless car future. </p>

• AI and the Legal Industry Jul 23, 2024

  <p>On this week’s podcast, Paul and Rich look at how AI is going to transform a very special industry filled with the nicest people: The law. After laying out the specific areas of the legal profession that are ripe for AI transformation, they assess a few current startups and their application frameworks (e.g., document review, research, contracts), and propose a new segment for each industry-specific podcast: “Will AI take your job?”</p>

We've received some high-level branding advice, and it is time for us to get out there and kinda own what we've been talking about, Richard. Let me tell you what we talk about. You know what we talk about?</p><p><strong>Rich</strong>: What?</p><p><strong>Paul</strong>: The incredibly rapid change that artificial intelligence technologies are bringing to the software industry. And sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's ridiculous. Often it's ridiculous. </p><p><strong>Rich</strong>: Mmm hmm. Mmm hmm. </p><p><strong>Paul</strong>: And we keep dancing around it, saying, we're this or we're that. But damn it, I think that's what we are. I think that's what we're doing for the next X months or years or decades.</p><p><strong>Rich</strong>: Great. Tune in next week. It'll be a new name. It'll show up in your same feed so you don't have to do anything. And it's fun. We still want to, like, share our ideas, thoughts, feedback to the world that is useful outside of our product.</p><p><strong>Paul</strong>: God help anybody trying to keep us on-script.</p><p><strong>Rich</strong>: Yeah. So world's shortest podcast this week. Have a lovely week, and we'll see you next week with a brand-new name and maybe a brand-new haircut.</p><p><strong>Paul</strong>: I could use one.</p><p><strong>Rich</strong>: All right, have a great week.</p><p><strong>Paul</strong>: Bye!</p>

  <p>Why do we try to explain tech concepts and processes with metaphors—and why do we choose the metaphors we use? On this week’s podcast, Paul and Rich get philosophical, kicking off the conversation with an article about how the human is <em>not</em> like a computer, and travel through the history of personal computing to our present AI moment. Plus: How exactly should you handle the idealists in your organization? </p>

Plus: Why is some industry-specific software beautiful, while other industries are left with clunky, uninspired “bureaucracy in software”? </p>

Next, cringe: Canva’s corporate rap that went viral recently, drawing (uncomplimentary) comparisons to HBO’s <em>Silicon Valley</em> or <em>Succession</em>’s “L to the OG.” And finally, stock disasters: On Salesforce’s steep downturn after posting weak profits, and whether that says anything about the market’s broader opinions on AI. </p>

• The Space Between Platforms May 7, 2024

  <p>You’ve got one software system that doesn’t play nicely with your other software system—so surely the answer is a <em>third</em> software system to link them together, right? And how about adding a fourth, maybe even a fifth? Paul and Rich discuss the challenging gaps between the platforms people use to manage their businesses: How hard it can be to truly identify problems while you’re trying to grow, and how technology consultants tend to recommend shorter-term solutions that only make things more complicated—and more expensive.</p>

As they mull over various motivations, they discuss how to reframe success on your own terms, outside the simple metrics of competition or industry trends.</p>

A countdown of five business and political leaders that some large number of people hate—plus listen to the very end to hear exactly how Paul compares himself to Taylor Swift.</p>

Paul and Rich use a recent article about a TikTok influencer’s pricey (and popular!) tote bag to discuss our relationships with the things we buy, from unboxing videos (“commerce translated into emotional satisfaction”) to technologists’ largely incorrect assumption that adding one more feature will fundamentally change the way users feel about their product.</p>

  It’s immediately clear to me now that I’m writing again that I need to come up with some new forms in order to have fun here—so that I can get a rhythm and know what I’m doing. One thing that works for me are time limits; pencils up, pencils down. So: Fridays, write for 30 minutes; edit for 20 minutes max; and go whip up some images if necessary, like the big crappy hand below that’s all meaningful and evocative because it’s retro and zoomed-in. Post it, and leave it alone. Can I do that every Friday? Yes! Will I? Maybe! But I crave that simple continuity.

  It turns out that Hustler magazine will not run tit-shots of sort-of-POW Jessica Lynch after all, which means that the American press, instead of lamenting over the exposure of Jessica’s pert little nipples as an awful symbol of our lost national innocence in an insolent, amoral age, will actually have to cover the war in Iraq. Q: What do you call masturbating to naked Jessica Lynch pictures?

• A Response to Clay Shirky’s “The Semantic Web, Syllogism, and Worldview” Nov 9, 2003

  Clay Shirky, a well-regarded thinker on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies, has published an essay called “The Semantic Web, Syllogism, and Worldview,” a critical appraisal of the semantic web which claims, in essence, that the Semantic Web is a technological pipe dream: an over-specified solution in search of a problem. As someone who has spent long hours attempting to fathom the standards which define the Semantic Web (see and ), I can empathize with Shirky’s frustration, particularly his frustration with the more lofty of the Semantic Web evangelist’s claims.

• I Have a Dream Aug 27, 2003

  In the intervening years, this speech has been reinterpreted and co-opted by: those who would make King into a good negro, forgetting his uncomfortable, “Why We Can’t Wait” radicalism; those who would make King into an Uncle Tom, claiming that he didn’t go far enough, that his non-violence can be equated with weakness; those who would throw the first stone, and use his philandering as a convenient reason to dismiss his nights and days of work, his jail time, his constant labor; and those who take pleasure in the rhetorical grace of the speech, but ignore its native substance, and sample the speech for pop songs, layer it into montages, or use it in television commercials. None of this co-opting changes the fact that the speech is one of the few excellent pieces of exhortatory, visionary rhetoric ever written, and certainly the last great city-on-the-hill vision of America that we’ve received—written by a man who lived under segregation in the old, bad south. 40 years to the day later, the vision is far from realized.

  Prior Iterations of Ftrain, created in blind ignorance but with great hopes, and information on the site itself.

• Wire 009: Pride Dec 31, 1999

  The proud man defends his pride in a bar, at work, and among friends; when he is slandered, when the boss tells him his work is not good, when he is disrespected by others, at every injury, every poke, jab, failed promotion, or slanderous calumny, his chest swells in anger; something unreleasable agitates inside him, throbbing like an infected finger, until he cannot repress it any more, and if he can not strike someone else, some stranger, perhaps he strikes his wife, or at the least he is suddenly cruel to her; and in doing this he reclaims some power from the world. She, the wife of the proud man, has no barrier against his hands, but she has other domains of authority, and so may scream at the children, who listen and mull on her words in quiet fear.
