OnlyFounders
What really happens when two founders hit record?
Welcome to OnlyFounders, the unfiltered podcast where Anne Gillaspie and Matt Lo—two wildly different founders with wildly good chemistry—let you eavesdrop on the conversations that usually happen behind closed doors.
From the brand therapist brain of Anne (Fix & Form) to the tech-obsessed mind of Matt (ChipBot), these are the deep dives, off-the-rails riffs, and philosophical rabbit holes that business owners crave but rarely get. Think of it as your morning coffee with two founders who aren’t afraid to disagree, throw a little shade, and get real about the humanity and science of building things that last.
Business. Branding. Technology. Psychology. Strategy. Swearing. It’s all on the table.
Grab your mug. You’re invited.

052: The Content Gatekeepers: Deepfakes, Platform Responsibility, and Digital Parenting
In this episode, Anne and Matt discuss the fallout from X’s Grok and the disturbing rise of AI-generated exploitation. They argue that while the tools themselves—like Photoshop before them—are just instruments, the true burden of safety lies with the social media giants who control distribution. The discussion covers the futility of federal regulation in the US, the potential for state-based solutions, and the overwhelming challenge parents face in teaching children to discern real from fake in an unregulated digital world.
🚨 Stuff You’ll Want to Remember:
- "Parents have to do so much regulating with children nowadays in all of the access that we give them to really dangerous things... we have to use our logic to discern what kind of content we're allowing to affect and impact us." — Anne
- "If you want to use it ethically, you already have ethics in mind. If you are using it with no ethics, you are going to continue using it with no ethics." — Matt
- "It's up to the gatekeepers that enable distribution to actually say, should we distribute this or not? Why should the responsibility be on you?" — Matt
