In this episode, a16z's Anish Acharya joins Kevin Rose for an in-depth, fast-paced conversation on the rebirth of consumer technology, and how AI is reshaping what it means to build, invest, and create.They talk about why AI has reignited the consumer renaissance, what it means to build “weird and working” products, and how the next wave of apps will blend emotion, utility, and creativity in entirely new ways. From AI companions and “emotional interfaces” to the tools making it possible to build entire startups solo, Kevin and Anish explore what’s emerging at the edge of culture and code.This is a conversation about the future of creation, where consumer tech meets human feeling, and why the next big ideas will come from people bold enough to be weird. Resources:Follow Kevin on X: <a href="http://x.com/kevinrose">x.com/kevinrose</a>Follow Anish on X: <a href="http://x.com/illscience">x.com/illscience</a> Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: <a href="https://x.com/a16z">https://x.com/a16z</a>Find a16z on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16z">https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16z</a>Listen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYX?si=70ca2d87cf9342d9">https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYX</a>Listen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711</a>Follow our host: <a href="https://x.com/eriktorenberg">https://x.com/eriktorenberg</a>Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.
