This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Welcome to tech stuff. I'm Osvalosh, and I'm thrilled to announce that the week in tech is back and it's growing.

Instead of Kara and I recounting the essential news stories, today and every Friday from now on,

I'm going to be joined by three of the best writers covering Silicon Valley.

These incredibly well-sourced insiders are going to help us break down the latest news,

decode emerging trends, and debate what actually matters for the future of technology and for us.

In the meantime, Kara is taking a step back from Tech Stuff,

and I just want to say how grateful I am for her friendship and her excellent work on this show.

We'll miss her, but I could not be more excited to introduce you to our fascinating panelists today.

I'm joined by Taylor Lorenz, the brains behind UserMag, which focuses on how people actually use tech.

Taylor also has a YouTube channel and a weekly podcast. Welcome, Taylor. Thanks for having me.

Natasha Tikou is a longtime Silicon Valley reporter formerly of Wired and most recently The Washington Post.

Great to be here. Great to have you. And Stephen Witt, who literally wrote the book on

Invidia, The Thinking Machine, Jensen Huang, Invidia and the world's most coveted microchip. He's also a frequent

contributor to the New Yorker. Thank you. So I've been following each of you for a long, long time,

and listeners, you've definitely heard stories cribbed from these three pop up on tech stuff quite often.

But now, as we like to say in England, we'll get to hear it straight from the horse's mouth.

Taylor,

starting with you, I think of you as one of the first people to cover social media as kind of a capital B beat. How do you describe your work today? Yeah, well, I mean, there were many great

reporters covering social media, as you mentioned. I kind of cover it more from the user side,

so how people are using it.
