Description

It’s the end of the year, so Grant and Hammad decided to revisit some of the most popular 2024 tech predictions and evaluate how accurate they were. We open with Grant’s maritime prediction from his time at a16z, and then we shift to robotics, crypto, Apple’s Vision Pro, and geopolitics. Hammad then wraps the show by sharing his favorite idea from Satya’s recent podcast interview. This is a lively back and forth episode that culminates with some reflections on the first year of Motion Blur.

This will be our last episode for 2024. We’ll see you in 2025! Happy Holidays, everyone.
