Today on Tech Today, Kyle is joined by Zavain Dar, founder and managing partner of Dimension, to talk about what he calls the “self-inflicted corrosion” of American hegemony. In a viral tweet, Zavain laid out two pillars of the U.S.’s strength, immigrant-driven innovation and global alliances, and argued that both are being systematically undermined. In this episode, he explains why the U.S. is pouring concrete over the very wellspring of scientific and technological leadership that made it dominant for decades.
They also discuss the immigrant roots of America’s most valuable companies, the geopolitical dynamics forcing allies to hedge toward China, and how elite researchers and founders are starting to bypass the U.S. altogether.
We also covered Neuralink’s $650 million raise, xAI’s $5 billion debt deal, IBM’s Seek AI acquisition, and TechCrunch’s exit from Europe.
