What a waste of an article and opportunity. The journalist had the opportunity to sit with 30 other tech visionaries listening to them talk about their vision for the future, and he just..forgot everything they said because he was hungry, and spent most of the article writing about his own hunger?
- consz 10y agoI'm guessing the fact that his own hunger was the most memorable part of the evening is an indicator of the quality of conversation available at the dinner party. Billionaires are people, too, and I'd bet they just shot the shit for three hours and dipped.
- saosebastiao 10y agoPersonally, listening to "tech visionaries" and their vision for the future is about as interesting as hearing about some random dude's hunger.
- plandis 10y agoIt happened a while ago. You don't think it was reported on at the time?
- thomasjudge 10y agoThis is about par for the course for a Nick Bilton piece
- mathattack 10y agoI hate this style of lazy tech journalism where the interviewer inserts themselves into the story. It worked for Hunter S. Thompson a lot better than this writer.
- GunboatDiplomat 10y agoThat's because Hunter S. Thompson was interesting in and of himself.
- droopybuns 10y agoThis article was a denial of service attack on our brains. The writer must be a dumpster fire. I want my 5 minutes back.
- ctvo 10y agoI'd not take the article that literally. The author probably remembers most of what occurred. The setting and the story about the dinner party act as a vehicle for commentary on the mindset of the winners in tech and how it'll impact our future as they use their influence.
