On this week’s episode of The Rebooting Show, I was joined by Alex Kantrowitz, who writes the Big Technology newsletter and hosts a podcast of the same name, in order to discuss the year ahead in tech platforms. We covered a lot of ground, including:

• The slightly unseemly kowtowing to the incoming Trump administration
• OpenAI’s wonky economics
• Alex’s bet on AI “companions”
• Why X has proved doomsayers wrong
• The bright spot of individual creators amid a lot of media industry gloom

Check out the Big Technology newsletter and podcast.
