The Tech Quotes That Defined 2025


Listen Later

What do Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, Reid Hoffman, Marc Andreessen, and Elon Musk actually believe about the future of tech?


In this episode of the Newcomer Podcast, we break down the quotes that defined tech in 2025. From OpenAI and Anthropic to venture capital, regulation, and Silicon Valley power, these are the moments where powerful people said the quiet part out loud.


Rather than reacting to headlines, we look at the specific lines that revealed how AI companies think about compute and money, how venture capital is consolidating power, and why tech and politics are now inseparable.


We cover:

  • What Sam Altman and OpenAI revealed about scale and compute

  • How VC giants like Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed talk about power and access
