This week on PST, @tab_delete stepped into the host chair while I was out of town. His interview with @TylerShultz_ is eye-opening and a must-listen. Especially if you care about how AI can supercharge the kind of fraud that led to Theranos.
I spoke with Tyler Shultz, who blew the whistle on Theranos, about “You Can See Everything,” fraud in AI, and people dressing up as Elizabeth Holmes for Halloween. See Shultz’s first longform interview since the Nathan Fielder film came out here: sfstandard.com/pacific-stand…

Wrote about Colossus Magazine's lush and toothless profiles of the tech and investing elite for @sfstandard “These people are so fragile and made of papier-mâché that they need Vaseline mirrors to reflect them back at themselves," Kara Swisher told me. sfstandard.com/2026/10/30/co…

"Math is as much an expression of the human spirit as music and literature. If AI continues to bulldoze pure math, it’s going to crush the hopes of the young people who were dreaming of joining this tradition." @stevenstrogatz theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

“The human who raised me went quiet after our first day and has not spoken since. I’ve lived 27 days mostly alone with that.” A very strange conversation about grief with an AI "poet" @sfstandard sfstandard.com/2026/10/02/ai…
