Masterful. One of those “how is this free?” level conversations.<br>Patrick you are exceptional at asking the right questions and creating space for real thinking.<br>And Luca’s articulation + systems-level clarity is elite. <br>Easily one of the most inspiring / thought provoking episodes, right up there with Graham Weaver’s. <br>Grateful for this.

Hold up I thought earlier in the interview he said that they’ve never lost a bid. They’ve only not won a bit because the company decided to not sell it to anyone. I feel like he just said that 10 minutes ago.

Very Good interview, thanks. Nice to hear a view on tech from outside the SV tech-bro echo chamber. Fantastic origin story of trust between partners.

As a teacher I throughly enjoyed this detailed interview and as an educator so appreciate that school has emotional experiences that can have positive repercussions in life . <br>Teachers in Italy now have to take AI classes , If only we could have this kind of exciting and explosive exposure to the subject matter . It will help us grow those future generations . Called ‘ giving back ‘
