Are these Tech Oligarchs Bitchier than the Real Housewives?

The boys are at it AGAIN. 🍿 This week: Peter Thiel, fresh off destroying Gawker, is back with a new scheme to push him closer to world domination. It's called Objection.ai: an AI-powered "truth tribunal" where tech billionaires can pay to have a robot jury investigate journalists who say mean things about them. Co-founded by the same lawyer who helped Thiel bankrupt Gawker, critics say it's less about truth and more about making it terrifying to report on powerful men with thin skin. We explain how it works and why it's somehow even worse than it sounds. Then, bust out the popcorn to watch Silicon Valley's best cat fight: We cover the start of the Elon VS Altman trial. And finally, a palate cleanser: Oracle employees staging a quiet rebellion against mass layoffs from the inside.
