Yes.

Android powers high-end Samsung phones, Pixel phones, Motorola phones, and low-end Chinese phones as well.

Besties, it's just like they did with Android.

Google is trying to be the operating system of everyone's eyeballs, no matter the size of your wallet.

For our second story, America's most famous venture capitalist just funded MTS, a 24-hour livestream news-ish show on X. And the key bet Andreessen is making is that banks will watch CNBC, tech companies will watch this.

Yetis, remember just a few weeks ago, Jack and I told you the story of how OpenAI acquired a tech podcast for a reported 200 million bucks.

Well, to quote Harry meeting Sally, Andreessen wants what she's having.

Oh yeah, extra pastrami.

So Andreessen Horwitz launched MTS this week, short for Monitoring the Situation.

Monitoring the Situation is a popular internet meme acknowledging that chaos is all around us and we're all just monitoring the situation.

As in pause the pod, Jack, I am checking Instagram to monitor the situation.

Yeah, it's a really kind of like legit way to describe your mindless feed scrolling and like the three second pause you did on the news update.

Sorry, mom, I'm situation maxing right now.

And now there is a live stream 24 hour show on X that is adopting that meme as its official legal name.

It's called MTS, and it's like CNN had a baby with Twitch raised in Menlo Park by the two product managers who launched Clubhouse.

And that 24-hour live stream just got funding from Andreessen Horowitz, a.k.a.

A16Z, America's most famous venture capital.

And what exactly does this look like if you watch this brand new, crazy, hybrid CNN internet?

A 100% knockoff carbon copy of TBPN.

which was OpenAI's new tech podcast, but this thing is way longer.
