Dialectic 53: Zhengdong - Feeling the Wave Zhengdong Wang is an AI researcher who writes annual letters from the frontier. I particularly loved his 2025 letter, in which he describes 'the compute theory of everything' and feeling the wave crash over him as we march up the exponential to AGI. I talked to him about what it will take for the rest of the world to believe, how AGI is a moving target and we might better conceive of progress as simply: "the model does the eval," and where all of this might leave us on the other side. Timestamps: (0:00) Opening Highlights (1:16) Intro to Zhengdong (4:33) Start: Why Research: "I Just Want to Know" (12:25) The Model Does the Eval: AGI as a Moving Target, RSI, and Laser Beams (33:17) The Compute Theory of Everything and Feeling the Wave (53:17) The Myths AI Needs, Competition vs. Power Concentration, and Whether Progress Is Inevitable (1:13:42) "Who Could Possibly Compete?": Post-AGI Meaning, Work, and Questing (1:29:28) Are You Having Fun? Vacations, Mattering, and How to Live (1:47:13) Annual Letters, Economist Obituaries, London, and Burke Dialectic with Jackson Dahl Ep. 53: Zhengdong Wang is out now, below and on all platforms.

The music-creation app [untitled] has rolled out a new feature allowing artists to sell their songs or full projects directly to fans, cutting out labels, distributors, and other middlemen. As of today, creators can upload their music on the app and monetize it straight from the platform, giving them more control over pricing, ownership, and fan relationships. The update has been circulating widely on social media rather than through a formal major-media article, with artists and fans calling it a game-changer for independent musicians. The move positions [untitled] as a creator-first platform focused on direct-to-consumer sales, transparency, and artist empowerment in an industry long dominated by intermediaries. 🎶📲💰

I had an incredible chat with se, co-founder of fomo (now @fomo). fomo launched less than a year ago but has already had a remarkable rise, becoming a go-to trading app for both crypto-native and mainstream users alike. We cover a lot of ground, from the original motivation to build fomo, to recruiting the early team, what worked (and didn't work) with user acquisition, and what he's learned over the past year. Sometimes the success behind certain crypto products can feel random, but it's clear that fomo's is not. They've been extremely intentional with every part of the company (team/product/growth/fundraising), and it reflects in the feedback from users. Was a pleasure recording this one. (0:00) Intro (1:13) Early life. Jersey and Yale (7:03) Working on product at dYdX and meeting Paul (14:06) The genesis of fomo, early team formation (33:42) Product-first philosophy and obsession with UX (46:24) User-led growth and getting to know your customers (59:48) Raising Series A from Benchmark (1:06:22) Where fomo is heading; the speculation graph era (1:21:49) Building a social product to match its growth (1:28:58) Memecoins as a category (1:40:35) Other teams that Se admires

My conversation with Karim Atiyeh, co-founder and CTO of Ramp and one of the best operators active today. I love talking to people who are obsessed with their craft, and Karim is one of them. The way he talks about every part of the business makes it clear that Ramp wins by caring more than anyone. They labor over every pixel and detail that helps customers save time, eliminate waste, and spend less. We talk about how to build products faster, assembling a team of "Avengers", seeking differentiation and how Karim’s "divinely discontent" mindset drives Ramp’s culture. It's a conversation about craftsmanship, obsession, and the quiet intensity behind one of the fastest-growing companies in the world. Enjoy!

Charles Broskoski believes everything should be personal: your work, your tools, your taste, and perhaps most provocatively, the business you build. I talked to Charles Broskoski about knowing yourself, noticing patterns, casual research, and building a personal business in Are.na. Charles is an artist turned software engineer and co-founder/CEO of Arena: a platform for collecting, connecting, and self-directed learning. Arena is coming up on its 15th anniversary, and Charles hopes it can last another 15 and far beyond. I discovered him through his essay and talk, "Here for the Wrong Reasons", and was struck by his philosophy that who we are is made up of the things we pay attention to, and specifically what we see in them. We discuss that and more: - Why creativity is decision-making and problem-solving - Charles's case for "casual" research - Why skateboarding is a model for being a beginner - How information that inflects you becomes part of who you are - Personal versus performative taste (and why it shouldn't be thought of as a competitive skill) - Creating a typeface to replace Arial that looks (almost) exactly like Arial - Why more creative people should start businesses - Drawing inspiration from a 1,300 year old Japanese hot spring hotel - "The reward is the work. That you get to hang out with your friends and make something cool." - Why Arena wants to fade into the background Timestamps: 0:00 - Opening Highlights 1:21 - Intro: Charles Broskoski 4:00 - Thanks to Notion 5:26 - Start: Creativity as Self-Knowledge and Problem-Solving 13:37 - Self-directed Learning and Casual Research 21:33 - Skateboarding, Being a Beginner, In Defense of Posers 33:26 - Contextual Patterns and Channels 45:54 - Nodal Points, Your Radar, and Careful Attention 1:04:57 - Subjectivity, Self-Knowledge, and Taste 1:15:09 - Performance: Here for Fame and Not Love 1:22:53 - Aspirational Attention 1:29:02 - Designing Generous Tools 1:42:44 - Space in a Product and Fading into the Background 1:50:01 - Why Creatives Should Be Entrepreneurial & Building an Independent Business Online 1:54:11 - Patience, Durability, and Antifragility 1:59:48 - Personal Businesses 2:10:27 - Grab Bag: Authenticity, Bohm Dialogue, Skateboarding, and Keeping Things Personal 2:28:28 - Thanks Again to Notion Dialectic with Jackson Dahl Ep. 40: Charles Broskoski - Everything is Personal - is out now, below and on all platforms.

What’s unique about his writing is the way he goes beyond cliches, especially in the way he thinks about the relationship between China and America. How does he do it? For Dan, good writing is the byproduct of lots of eating, lots of travel, and lots of talking to people, and he broke it all down in this episode. Timestamps: 1:04 Why Dan writes Annual Letters 15:01 Dan’s way of writing 26:02 Why most travel writing stinks 30:44 How to travel through China 33:05 The regions of China, explained 44:47 Trade books vs. academic books 53:46 The problem with history books 01:01:42 Did Dan write his book with AI? 01:10:50 Dan’s least favorite part about China 1:15:42 A critique of American elites 1:33:08 Why Dan’s site got blocked in China 1:39:52 What China mocks about America 1:54:49 A simple way to improve your writing Dan and I also want to dedicate this episode to Tyler Cowen as a thank you for his friendship and mentorship over the years.

I don't know anyone who is as consistently ahead of culture than Trevor McFedries. I talked to Trev🙃r about culture, markets, technology, curiosity, why selling out is punk now, and why creative people should be rich. Trevor has lived many lives: touring DJ who produced a top 10 album, co-creator of lil miquela, founder of Friends With Benefits... among many others (go watch the last 10 seconds of KATY PERRY's I Kissed a Girl music video). Today, he's the founder of new co runner.rodeo and is 1/2 of electronic dance duo SofTT. He also has a fantastic nose for weird, bridges high and low status worlds across culture, capital, art, and tech, and truly lives natively between the frontiers of tech and culture. We talked about: - Why the only creative people who can "opt out" of the algorithm are trust fund kids - How cultural capital has merged with financial capital - Why speculation is rational - The belief economy: from making → framing → predicting - What he learned working with Kanye for three months - Finding new subcultures in the dark corners of Telegram - Why he's long humanity despite everything Timestamps: 0:00 - Opening Highlights 1:18 - Intro to Trevor 4:12 - Thanks to Notion 5:21 - Start: Creative People Should Be Rich 12:03 - Creative Ignition, Infrastructure, and Why Selling Out is Punk 21:49 - Authenticity, Honesty, Divine Creativity, and Borrowed Nostalgia 30:15 - Low Status Games and High Culture, Cultural & Financial Capital, and Crypto 42:08 - The Belief Economy: From Making to Framing to Predicting 48:45 - Markets, Power, Consensus, and Truth 58:22 - Speculation is Rational 1:06:34 - Developing a Nose for Weird, Being Early and On Time 1:19:06 - Unfettered Cultural Spaces on the Internet 1:26:33 - FWB, Community, and Exclusivity 1:31:02 - LilMiquela, Online Storytelling and Celebrity, Touring as a Performer 1:45:41 - Softt, Music as a Way In, Music as a Business 1:52:45 - Culture & Business 1:54:38 - Kanye 2:06:20 - Optimism, The Next Generation, Parenting, The Stuff that Counts, and Cerulean Available on all platforms now.

Dialectic 52: Jack Conte! Jack is not an entrepreneur who makes art on the side. He is a lifelong artist and musician who became the unlikely founder and CEO of Patreon, the only company he has ever worked for. At his (musical) peak, Jack was releasing 100 music videos a year between his bands Pomplamoose and scarypockets while building one of the few enduring creator platforms on the web. He started Patreon to solve his own problem as a full-time YouTuber: he wanted fans to pay him directly for his work rather than accepting a dashboard that told him 3 million views were worth $18. Patreon is rare amongst its peers: it's a platform built first and foremost for creators, not consumers. It makes money when creators get paid. Jack believes that incentive alignment has helped Patreon earn creators’ long-term trust, and will help it endure as mediums, technology, and platforms evolve. I talked to Jack about all of this and more: - creative endurance and becoming “post-chaos” - why Silicon Valley undervalues art, brand, and storytelling - why art isn't content and getting paid isn’t selling out - creator-first incentives, trust, and 100 years of Patreon - why Jack is still the right CEO after 13 years - leadership: ambition, obsession, self-reflection, and learning from people better than you - Charlie Kaufman, authenticity, and making fans - lucid dreaming and taking more risks Timestamps: (0:00) - Opening Highlights (1:38) - Intro to Jack & Thanks to Notion (3:44) - Start: Prolific Output, Energy, Juggling, Endurance, and Becoming Post-Chaos (22:04) - Combining Creativity and Business and Art vs. Content (33:21) - Advertising vs. Membership & Patronage vs. Patreon (44:06) - Jack’s First and Only Job, and Silicon Valley’s Undervaluing of Creativity, Brand, and Storytelling (and Patreon) (55:17) - Building for Creators First, Incentive Alignment, Trust, 100 Years of Patreon, and Why Jack Is the Right CEO for Now (1:04:49) - Leadership: Types of Ambition, Obsession, Self-Reflection, Bias to Action, and Learning from Others (1:12:59) - Talent vs. Enthusiasm, Being Proud of What You Make, Making Fans and Being True, Managing Parasociality, and Community (1:28:30) - Filmmaking, Labels and Collectives vs. Individuals, Breaking Patterns, Creative Intimacy, Music, Patreon’s Origin, Persistence, Lucid Dreaming, and Taking Risks (1:49:26) - Thanks Again to Notion Dialectic with Jackson Dahl Ep. 52: Jack Conte - Draw the Next Page - is out now, below and on all platforms.
