    Cant wait to see this. She’s terrifying and Fielder is imho the perfect foil to interview her.

    Its weird cuz she just ripped off a bunch of rich people, I dont really have any reason to hate her really but she’s sort of emblematic of what is problematic of startup and tech culture and in a sense identify culture where being the first ___ founder/CEO or one of few ____ founders/CEOs/whatever is part of the pitch.

    Um, ackchually, PNG does not mean that it has an alpha channel. Even JPEG can have alpha channel (though its not standard feature and might break compatibility with some readers), but also AVIF and WebM.
