My guest today is Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas, who is betting that the browser is where more useful AI will get built.  Perplexity just released Comet, an AI web browser for the Mac and Windows that's still in an invite-only beta. I've been using it, and it's very interesting.

It's summertime, which means it's time for our annual grilling episode. In years past we've talked to the leaders of Big Green Egg, Traeger, and Blackstone, and it's always fascinating how those companies have all the same kinds of problems and ideas as any of the tech companies we have on the show.  This time, I finally had the opportunity to sit down with SharkNinja CEO Mark Barrocas. We've wanted to have SharkNinja on the show for years now, mostly because it has the best name of any company I think we've ever had on Decoder — it perfectly describes the structure of the company. And just in time for our grilling episode, the Ninja division of Mark's business just launched its first ever grill.  Check out the full transcript here on The Verge.

(This is an episode from the podcast "On With Kara Swisher”, from from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network.) From media moguls to tech billionaires, Oscar-nominated and Emmy award-winning writer, producer and director Jesse Armstrong knows how to tap into the psyche of the rich and powerful. In the “Succession” creator's new HBO movie, “Mountainhead,” a tech-bro poker weekend turns into a life-or-death battle over who will control the future — in both business and the real world.From their isolated lair in Utah, four millionaire/billionaire friends (played by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef) watch as deepfakes created on one of their platforms lead to massacres, assassinations, and government takeovers around the world. This sparks the friends' imperialistic fantasies and some unfriendly inter-group competition. Kara talks to writer-director Jesse Armstrong about the real-world inspirations for these characters, how tech founders think about their own role in society, and whether the tech oligarchy has replaced legacy media giants like Rupert Murdoch. Mountainhead is available to stream now on Max. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today, I'm talking with Taskrabbit CEO Ania Smith. Taskrabbit is an interesting company; it's known best for being a platform for hiring people to put together your furniture, so much so that IKEA acquired it in 2017. But Taskrabbit is still operating as a mostly independent company all these years later, and Ania is now in charge of maneuvering a fast-changing labor market during uncertain economic times and a potentially major AI disruption to the workforce on the horizon.

Today, I'm talking with journalist Megan Greenwell about her new book Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream. It comes out June 10th. It's fantastic and maddening in equal measure. I highly recommend it.

We also talk a lot about the healthcare industry, another major pillar of Megan's book. I'm excited to hear what you think of this one.
