I have now many times claimed that our obsession with “taxonomy” (naming trends, aesthetics, etc) was due to the state of cultural confusion we are in. There are too many things happening all at once, many of them fake or astroturfed, some real but rare, especially now in the age of AI. I’m joining @MTSlive to monitor the cultural situation, so to speak. My show is called MEDIA STUDIES I’ll be on daily, tune in! Expect research, writing and, for once, a bit of cultural clarity. Couldn’t be more excited.

Space data centers are happening. The first Nvidia H100 reached orbit in November '25. But getting chips to space is easy. Keeping the heat off them isn't. Can you design an orbital data center to survive in space? Play the latest MTS x @Lovable drop:

Happy 6 months to @MTSlive! A quick recap, some thank yous, and two jobs below that you should apply for: In our first 180 days, we've interviewed over 1,000 guests, grew to 600K followers, crossed an 8 figure run rate, covered dozens of conferences around the country, and moved production from a 160 sq. ft. conference room to a new 12k sq. ft. office (come see it before we need to move again!) There's been tons of work behind the scenes going from 1 show to 3 (and maybe 4 or 5 by early next year?) that we're excited to launch soon. I'm so grateful to build MTS alongside @liangsays. If you've ever met him, you'll understand that he is the definition of founder-market fit to build a massively successful media company. A huge shoutout to our founding team and hosts @theojaffee @schisofrenia @sophiadew @netcapgirl @knowerofmarkets who left real jobs with 401ks to talk on X for 8 hours per day, post 75x/day, figure out how to operate cameras, and get yelled at by hundreds of internet strangers when our audio drops for 10 minutes (sorry, guys). The amount of talent + willpower this team has is unmatched in my career. Thanks to all of the incredible guests and comms teams we've worked with. Reminder: pitch@mts.now if you want to come on the shows. And biiiiig thanks to our founding partners @databricks @ElevenLabs @vercel @chargebee @blitzyai @Lovable @AdQuick @MongoDB @Larridin @kong @fundrise @FactoryAI @arena If you'd like to join the MTS team while it's still a fledgling little startup media company, there are two high priority roles this week: 1.
