> CHRISTIAN DRAPPI: Who else was, like, aware of this? I mean, I'm guessing you and Sam certainly were. Like, I'm guessing probably very few people.
> CAROLINE ELLISON: Yeah, I don't -- yeah, I'm not even sure if I know exactly who was aware. I mean, I sort of say, like, to some extent you can, like, you could piece it together if you, like, looked at like, pointer or looked at like some spreadsheets for a bit or something. So it's sort of possible for a lot of people to be aware of it, but I guess that most people weren't.
> DRAPPI: I mean, like, more like explicitly aware. As in told, like, this is what we're doing in terms of, like, meetings that were had. I'm sure, like, this wasn't just like a YOLO thing, right? Like, you know --
> ELLISON: Yeah, I mean, I guess I talked about it with, like, Sam, Nishad, and Gary, I think.
- pixelatedindex 3y agoThat is a lot of “like” - almost every other word. I don’t know why I’m surprised but I am.
- jihadjihad 3y agoI was surprised, too--I'd recommend listening to the clips of the tape, if not the whole recording, if you haven't. You hear about the ties to MIT and Jane Street and all the money and you think "polished," while the recording paints a rather amateurish picture.
- Ajay-p 3y agoI find it mildly infuriating when people repeatedly use the phrase "like". What part of speech and grammar is this called? I perceive it as interrupted thought from unpreparedness.
