Colossus editor-in-chief Jeremy Stern joins David Senra to unpack his profiles of Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Palmer Luckey (Anduril), Scott Wu (Cognition) and Josh Kushner (Thrive Capital), arguing Zuckerberg is more competitive than anyone imagines and will never walk away. An Augustus devotee since 15 who refused Yahoo's $1 billion at 21, Zuckerberg has, Stern argues, the distribution and owned infrastructure to win the AI race. The Luckey profile began with a question — was defense tech real or bullshit after October 7th? — and became 15,000 words on a man who backed Trump when it cost him Facebook. Wu stands out as an authentic math genius who won't sell. Kushner's piece grew from his family's Holocaust story and ends with Stern's Russian professor, who taught him people owe their gifts.
