More or Less

#90: Silicon Valley Unscripted: Billionaires, AI, and Interplanetary Exploration


Listen Later

On this week's episode of More or Less, Jessica, Dave, Sam, and Brit tackle a chaotic week hashing out Waymo’s Peninsula push, Sam’s million-dollar Mars wager with Brit, and YC’s agentic AI craze—fresh from ski season vibes and office debates.


Also on the deck this episode:

• Waymo’s expansion has Jessica ditching Lyft (almost)

• Sam vs. Brit: a million bucks on Mars colonization odds

• TikTok’s sale—Oracle’s in, but ByteDance might still call the shots

• Anthropic’s CEO says AI will write all code soon—engineers aren’t having it.


Plus, recession drums beat louder, Jessica’s tennis mag Racket swings big, and Sam’s still trolling with billboards.
