It’s pretty neat how they have a custom design for that interview.
Isn’t he just a shill for questionable shit now?
What year is it?
They are running a 2004 week, looking back at tech from that era.
At the height of digg, I thought Rose was kind of cool. One of those Silicon Valley success stories that used to inspire tech enthusiasts like me. I watched diggnation and bought in to the culture being presented. But I’ll never forget that when digg 4 released, and bombed, Kevin threw his own employees and developers under the bus instead of taking responsibility for strategic mistakes. It was really eye opening to me about him and many of the other frauds that Silicon Valley hoists up as role models. Since then, he’s done nothing to dissuade me that he’s just another talentless tech-bro asshole that got way more attention and money than he deserved.
Same thing with Spez, tbh.
Why would we assume you’re not being honest? Pretty sure we’re mostly all here due to hating Spez.
I think you overthought my response, tbh
Anyone else remember that time Rose threw a raccoon?
I remember; he caught the racoon attacking his dog. The GIF is still all over the internet and makes me lol every time.
The video with his dog and explanation is on his YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/hHN-f6xTzsY
GIF of the money-shot:
I will say I kinda rolled my eyes at the end where he said he’d remake digg with ai but the idea of having comments be auto moderated to be detected as contributing to a conversation of the article vs attacking someone seemed interesting.
No way, the guy from TechTV!?
Yup. He’s VC now. Seems like just another Silicon Valley tech bro, not sure why anyone should care about him anymore.
From Wikipedia:
Rose co-founded the Proof Collective, a group of NFT collectors
Yeah, tech bro douche confirmed.
All downhill after The Screen Savers. Except financially, presumably.
Leo’s still doing his thing though. I support the TWiT network because I value independent journalism. They’re mostly commentary but still.
hopefully not still posting images of his thing on stream tho
