Snapchat CEO: Why distribution has become the most important moat | Evan Spiegel

Evan Spiegel, the co-founder and CEO of Snap, is one of the very few people in the world who has successfully built and scaled a lasting consumer social product. Snapchat has nearly 1 billion MAUs, and Evan and his team invented some of the most important consumer products and features, including Stories, AR glasses, swipe-based navigation, the camera as the primary UX, and a lot more. In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: 1. Why distribution is now the biggest challenge for creating a consumer technology business 2. How Snap innovates at scale with a 9-to-12-person design team: no titles, no hierarchy, hundreds of ideas reviewed weekly with the CEO 3. Why a pure software business is no longer a moat, and what actually creates durable competitive advantages today 4. How AI is changing the way designers work and why they’re now shipping code 5. Why every major Snap feature was copied and how that forced the company to work differently 6. Evan’s prediction that humanity’s comfort with AI will be a bigger bottleneck than the technology itself 7.

Ferrari

Ferrari is the pinnacle of luxury scarcity — across its entire 79-year history, the company has sold just 330,000 cars at an average price today of $500,000. For context, Hermès sells that many Birkins and Kellys roughly every 2 years, and Rolex moves that many watches every 3 months. And yet this ultimate luxury product also lives under the same roof with a widely beloved professional sports team… one with 400 million rabid fans from all walks of life who live and die by the Scuderia’s performance every F1 race weekend! How is it possible that these two seemingly contradictory customer bases can coexist within the same company? And far from destroying each other’s value, only reinforce it? The answer, it turns out, is a beautiful, bloody, tragic and romantic opera that spans two families and three generations — and just might be one of the best tales we’ve ever told on Acquired.

Why is everything a conspiracy?

What's the playbook that gets real‑world breaking news moments to become instant conspiracy theories? After an attempted attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, clips and early reports were quickly represented as “staged” narratives online. We dig into why big, chaotic events are now prime fuel for conspiracy thinking, how the state does little to suppress it and what this does to trust when the public feels exhausted by the constant churn of misinformation. Next, Meta’s next training data source: its own employees. Reports say Meta is rolling out tracking software on US staff computers to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes — and even occasional screen snapshots — to help train AI agents that can perform work tasks. Meta says the data won’t be used for performance assessment, but it raises a bigger question: when “how you work” becomes training data, who is watching, and what will happen to your job when the training is complete? And finally: the age of “too perfect” writing. A new Chrome plug‑in called Sinceerly rewrites your polished emails to add typos and casual imperfections - because looking human is suddenly a status symbol. We talk about the cultural whiplash of AI in everyday communication, and what happens when authenticity becomes something you have to prove. The Interface is your weekly guide to the tech rewiring your week and our world. Hosted by journalists Thomas Germain, Karen Hao, and Nicky Woolf, each episode unpacks, week by week, the unfolding story of how technology is shaping all of our futures. No guests. No jargon. Just three sharp voices debating the tech stories that matter — whether they shook a government, broke the internet, or quietly tipped the balance of power. New episodes drop every Thursday on BBC Sounds in the UK. Outside the UK, find us on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts, or watch the video version on YouTube (search “The Interface podcast”).

蔡康永×罗永浩！在残酷的世界寻找自在与和解、保持慈悲与真实

《十字路口》播客节目简介本节⽬是⼀档由罗永浩主持的深度播客类节⽬，每集长达三到五个小时。我们与时代浪潮中的⼈物展开对话，聚焦于科技与⼈⽂领域，讲述个体命运故事，探讨时代发展趋势。本期嘉宾：蔡康永《罗永浩的十字路口》第二十六期。这次请到的嘉宾，是我的偶像，整个华语主持界公认最会说话的人——蔡康永。蔡康永和小S联合主持的近3000期《康熙来了》，是全球华人娱乐世界的精神避风港，是中文综艺界前无古人后无来者的绝对标杆，也是全球非中文世界人民永远的人生缺憾。在文艺界，大家总讨论什么样的作品能够真正打败时间，但我相信从来没有人想过，一个通常被认为不入流的电视综艺节目，竟然能一口气把上世纪的六零后到新世纪的零零后，五代人全部搞定，而且借助短视频平台，《康熙来了》正在奇迹般地，不可阻挡地，海量转化一零后的年轻观众。蔡康永老师的情商课系列三部曲也是整个中文世界的超级畅销书，我的桌上放的，就是他情商三部曲的最后一本《你愿意，人生就会值得》。很多人误以为他的书是心灵鸡汤，其实这是一个非常大的误解。蔡康永老师的文字跟心灵鸡汤最大的区别是，“它会在承认衰亡和虚无的前提下探讨积极选择，这使得他的作品不是那种麻痹神经的廉价迷幻药，而是现代人在精神荒野中行路时的罗盘。”这次的对谈，我有幸和蔡康永老师聊了足足四个多小时，我们聊到了很多他从未公开触碰过的话题和内容，关于他的创作和生活的近况，关于敏感的心灵如何在时代剧变的背景下自处，关于直面中老年以及死亡的地狱话题，以及我们该如何提前练习跟这个世界优雅地告别等等。虽然谈到了很多全新的话题，但他还是你熟悉的那个独一无二的、艺人外壳、知识分子底色的蔡康永，还是那个在残酷的世界平静地寻找自在与和解、保持慈悲和真实的敏感灵魂。【你将听到】 00:02:33聊聊近况00:13:11仍在写作00:23:45两老头论片00:33:28回应《康熙》不好看00:46:22烂书推荐语00:53:16绝非心灵鸡汤01:10:42电影票房扑街01:23:42《康熙来了》01:48:43艺术展02:06:05深入讨论AI02:20:12中年心理危机02:41:13遗嘱、死亡和葬礼03:13:07理想的告别03:34:32推荐嘉宾欢迎关注：微博 @罗永浩的十字路口 B站 @罗永浩的十字路口抖音 @罗永浩的十字路口小红书 @罗永浩的十字路口商务合作：欢迎发送邮件至 jayci_chen@163.com

How to Build the Future: Demis Hassabis

Demis Hassabis has had one of the most extraordinary careers in tech. He started as a chess prodigy and video game designer at 17 before getting a PhD in neuroscience and going on to found DeepMind. His lab cracked Go, solved protein structure prediction with AlphaFold, and then gave it away free to every scientist on earth. That work won him the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Today he leads Google DeepMind, pushing toward the same goal he set as a teenager: AGI. On this special live episode of How to Build the Future, he sat down with YC's Garry Tan to talk about what still needs to happen to get us to AGI, his advice for founders on how to stay ahead of the curve and what the next big scientific breakthroughs might be.

Ep(323) 데이터 분석의 목적이 팩트 폭격이 되어서는 안 된다!

데이터 분석은 숫자를 다루는 일이지만, 그 결과는 결국 사람에게 전달됩니다. 분석가가 "이것은 팩트이니 받아들여라"하고 강요하는 순간, 데이터는 누군가에게 상처를 주는 흉기가 될 수도 있습니다. 앤틀러 나영준 대표는 '날카롭지만 찌르지 않는 분석'의 중요성을 강조합니다. 데이터와 사람 사이에 어떤 태도가 필요할까요? 앤틀러의 나영준 대표님을 모시고 이야기 나누었습니다. ■ 유튜브에서 보기 https://youtu.be/3tP6qBDOCfc ──────────────────────── ● 유튜브 | https://www.youtube.com/dataholic4 ● 팟빵 팟캐스트 | http://bit.ly/dataholic ● 애플 팟캐스트 | https://apple.co/2M3yFyc ● 페이스북 | https://www.fb.com/dataholic4
