I will say I kinda rolled my eyes at the end where he said he’d remake digg with ai but the idea of having comments be auto moderated to be detected as contributing to a conversation of the article vs attacking someone seemed interesting.

Yup. He’s VC now. Seems like just another Silicon Valley tech bro, not sure why anyone should care about him anymore.

Leo’s still doing his thing though. I support the TWiT network because I value independent journalism. They’re mostly commentary but still.

From Wikipedia:
Rose co-founded the Proof Collective, a group of NFT collectors
Yeah, tech bro douche confirmed.

At the height of digg, I thought Rose was kind of cool. One of those Silicon Valley success stories that used to inspire tech enthusiasts like me. I watched diggnation and bought in to the culture being presented. But I’ll never forget that when digg 4 released, and bombed, Kevin threw his own employees and developers under the bus instead of taking responsibility for strategic mistakes. It was really eye opening to me about him and many of the other frauds that Silicon Valley hoists up as role models. Since then, he’s done nothing to dissuade me that he’s just another talentless tech-bro asshole that got way more attention and money than he deserved.

Why would we assume you’re not being honest? Pretty sure we’re mostly all here due to hating Spez.

I watched Diggnation a lot too because it felt like TechTV was living on in some little way. I remember thinking Alex Albrecht was pretty cool at the time. I haven’t thought about that in well over a decade. I’d rather not look him up now because I don’t want to know if he’s actually a piece of shit like Tommy Talerico haha.

I remember; he caught the racoon attacking his dog. The GIF is still all over the internet and makes me lol every time.
The video with his dog and explanation is on his YouTube channel: youtu.be/hHN-f6xTzsY
GIF of the money-shot:

A lot of people seem disappointed that Rose is a privileged untalented asshole now.
If it’s any consolation, he’s always been that way. Here’s episode 1 of his first show “The Broken”, where his genius hack is to steal someone’s pickup order from a restaurant: youtu.be/tNjoo9TuCHY

Same thing with Spez, tbh.
