A rational take on tech

Benedict Evans is a tech analyst and former partner at A16z.

His newsletter with rational takes on tech goes out to over 175k people.

In amongst the noise around AI and the tech industry more broadly, Benedict has built a reputation for high quality, level headed analysis.

I sat down with Benedict to discuss topics such as:

• The current state of technology and ongoing platform shifts

• Whether this time is truly different or not

• Historical comparisons of technological revolutions

• Challenges in predicting AI’s future trajectory

• Silicon Valley’s naivety about the world

• The cultural and philosophical aspects of AI and art

• The importance of understanding complex systems and markets
