Kara Swisher, longtime tech reporter and author of the forthcoming memoir Burn Book, joins Offline to talk about the tech tycoons who think they’re qualified to run our country. She and Jon break down Silicon Valley’s ever growing self importance, whether its leaders are more or less fascist than we think, and how big tech ate the media industry alive. But first! Max and Jon explain why Apple’s Vision Pro headset is the company’s most impressive-and depressing-gadget to date, and how Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are saving American monoculture.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us-one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America-a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

I saw a video of someone who was severely vision impaired trying on the Vision Pro, and because it essentially takes everything in your field of view and projects it 1 inch from your eyeball, he was actually able to see everything around him in great detail. He even showed off some of the accessibility features built in that also helped smooth out his experience with it. That's a cool use case, as an accessibility or adaptability device. For that purpose, it's relatively cheap; if it was developed specifically as a medical device it would be 10x more expensive. And I sincerely hope this device makes it into more hands that can benefit from the actual utility of it. For everyone else, it's just another expensive VR/AR headset.

I can really see an incredible use case for the Apple Vision Pro for disabled people, or folks who are bed-bound… this device could open up an entirely new world for them, both in utility with helping them accomplish tasks and communicate better with others (via text display, translation tools, home automation, etc.) and entertainment, with being able to “get away” and visit mountains or virtually shop, or connect with others in a virtual world from their bed or wheelchair, etc.

I have mixed feelings about Kara Swisher. She was an apologist for Elon Musk for years, going on news networks to explain how he was a misunderstood genius. This went on until she got on his bad side and Musk started criticizing her publicly. It was maddening to listen to her gaslighting people about his behavior. It makes me skeptical of her other insights.

I feel like, in quite a few ways, it hasn't escaped them. It's just more an example of just not caring, though that's not really the right term. We've tied money into our values system in a lot of ways... it's our reward system (bonuses at work,) it's our punishment system (tickets, fines,) and that has let to it being used as a measure of a person's worth as a human being... if you're poor or have a low-paying job, it's clearly because there's something wrong with you or else you'd have "moved up" to a better or better-paying job by now. Similarly, if you have money, fairly earned or not, you're seen as a good person because why else would you be rewarded with it if you weren't?

The scariest part of those Apple Vision Pros is that, paired with a watch and iPhone or computer, you are giving apple basically all the biometric data they need to get a perfect picture of your emotional state. Pulse, *exactly* what you are looking at, eye dilation, emotions on your face, skin conductivity, everything. Now they can map the inside and outside of your body as you watch content and get advertised to. Incredible power. They will know your preferences better than you do, quite literally.

A perfect description: the "Grievance Industrial Complex." Technology has made it incredibly easy to make money off of people's unhappiness. But, unlike past innovations to make money off of people's unhappiness by fixing it (e.g., psychiatry, or therapy, etc.) we can now make money by stoking and maintaining and accelerating people's unhappiness and grievances. An eternal free market truth: incentivize something and you get more of it. And we do certainly have more of it now.

I see this as being spoon-fed content and information. A person receives a bit of this and a bit of that in the time that a person “puts it in your mouth”. In the end, there is no time to enjoy the content; simply eat it and move on. That is not how information should be digested. It “should” be mulled over. It should be thought of and considered. Information and content shouldn’t be like passing by an accident with a glance.

I just sort of wonder where the counter-movement is. It seems like any time there's a big trend like this, there's always a backlash and a subsequent anti-movement that comes along as a reaction to it. First example I can think of, I grew up in the TRL era when music was dominated by the bubblegum pop sound of NSYNC-style boy bands and Britney-style pop stars. Eventually the saturation led to frustration against it, and led to a rise of genres that seemed to be considered better and more "authentic" in contrast with the dominant pop of the time-- Limp Bizkit-style new metal, Eminem-style rap, even a lot of folksy singer-songwriters such as Michelle Branch and Vanessa Carlton got branded as the "Anti-Britney" here to save music (We can argue all day about whether or not any of them actually WERE better or more authentic, but that was the thinking at the time.) I remember when Favs interviewed the young lady who founded the Log Off movement, I was kinda surprised to hear her talk about just wanting to REDUCE social media usage... which is perfectly fine, that's her prerogative, but you would just think there would be some kind of organic movement devoted to just dropping it entirely. Especially since kids are smart enough to see the damage its causing to their peers, you would think the fatigue would set in and they'd just check out from it entirely.

~28:00 Read "Cyberselfish," by Paulina Borsook, which came out over 20 years ago. (I think there's a book and an essay.) She pretty well lays it out, and surely it hasn't changed in any fundamental way.

The latest generation, according to their teachers, has 7th graders at a fourth grade level, attention spans of gnats, take their phones away their fingers twitch like they have the phone anyway, the addiction to screens is doing real damage, turning kids' minds to oatmeal. I'm sorry, this generation born with a cell phone in their hands doesn't have a prayer. There's a show on, Prime I think? Maybe Netflix, where they have it implanted in their heads, and the result is kinda what you'd imagine. Don't get me wrong, I'd probably be first in line, Apple's new device is just the first step toward that imo, disastrous, dystopian, nightmarish, and way cool 😎. Still, given that screens are turning a generation's minds to mush, I could believe that's the _intention,_ and guess whose kids are probably not allowed anywhere _near_ the stuff....? I mean, I'm not saying it IS, but I _could_ believe it....

I know nothing about AI at all. I do, however have children in middle school and a spouse who teaches at college. They all tell stories every week about middle school, high school and college students that use AI to cheat without a second thought. That cannot be good.

Elon Musk has become a villain over the past 5 years. He tries to gaslight people into blaming trans people and immigrants for their problems instead of raising his taxes.

Agree 100%. Use racism, misogyny, etc. to keep the poors at each others throats, so they are distracted away from the billons we make tax-free.

While simultaneously paying more tax than any American who ever lived, and not even having been born there, not to mention starting multiple businesses which massively strengthened the American economy and have saved hundreds of thousands of lives already. Is he really a super villain as you suggest? No, not really. He may be weird on Twitter, but almost all his time he spends doing things that improve the planet (or breeding...).

@jonevansauthor I can't argue with an elon simp. It's a waste of my time. No matter what I say you will spin it in elons favor. I have several friends like you. No point in discussing with you.

Id see what Marc Cuban has to say about the wealthy paying their fair share in taxes before saying Elon pays more taxes than anyone.

It's Leap Year. So is Taylor going to make a proposal to Travis during half time? I will miss it as haven't watched Super Bowl ever in my 81 years. But I feel sure that everything will cover it.

Both. American citizens should not be allowed to accumulate more than 1 billion dollars. Otherwise, it's too much power in the hands of one person. Elon Musk is the best example

At what point after the transition to X does..... "Twitter Bait-y" become obsolete? ;) Kara is dryly hilarious and thoughtful. She makes me want to search for more talks she's given cuz her style is just so funny and straight forward. And to boot, this segment was really entertaining especially with you two cracking each other up. Thanks guys!
