Okay, on to the show.
I'm Brian Barrett, Executive Editor.
We'll also break down the recent online leak that shed light on Peter Thiel's invite-only group Dialog.
More than 200 names of high-profile people in government, tech, academia, beyond, are listed in the documents as members and guests of this secretive society, not to mention a look at what they talk about behind closed doors.
And a bit later in the show, we'll talk about SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor and the latest on Anthropix efforts with the Trump administration to get their latest models back online.
Just to set the scene, too, so you work at Meta.
About 8,000 employees were let go as part of that round, right?

But last week we learned during an employee-only meeting for the Meta Applied AI unit, someone interrupted the call to say that they were, quote, being the company's bitch.
The same person then asked people leading the call to write to a specific Meta AI executive and, quote, tell him he's a piece of shit.
We have both heard this recording, Zoe.
Yes.
