TechScape: An elite Silicon Valley school tests a tech fast

I'm taking over TechScape from Alex Hern, and I'd like to introduce myself and my ideas for this newsletter. A bit about me: I started working at the Guardian the day Sam Bankman-Fried went on trial. My first holiday from my new job coincided with the shock firing of Sam Altman from OpenAI. The story I tell over and over again at parties is the one about how I was arrested and jailed while reporting a story on deadly testicular injections. We'll dissect the significance of the week's most substantial tech news, investigate odd niches, catch you up on the best of the Guardian's reporting and offer a helpful tip now and then.
