🚨 Zero Knowledge: Solution for Digital Identity? w/ Leo Fan I talked to Leo Fan, co-founder of @cysic_xyz, about zero-knowledge proofs, how they let you prove something's true without handing over your personal data, why that matters as governments push digital ID systems, and how Cysic lets you use your own hardware to help generate proofs instead of leaving that compute to a few big players. https://youtu.be/3Fzb6To9Pqk

Meat eaters! I know you're there... answer me this: Would you eat meat made in a lab? Bruce Friedrich, founder of the The Good Food Institute and author of Meat, explains the impacts of animal agriculture, the science behind cultivated meat and why we can't focus our energy trying to convince people not to eat meat, but instead change the meat. If it looks like steak and tastes like steak... Is it steak? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxabINbih-8&t=117s

🚨The Intelligence Curse w/ Evan Miyazono I spoke to @emiyazono, founder of @SafeWithAtlas, about the neglected risks of advanced AI and what it would actually take to govern it. We dig into the threats he thinks aren't getting enough attention, from asymmetrically offensive cyber capabilities and economic disruption to what he calls the "intelligence curse," a dynamic where governments lose any incentive to invest in their populations once labor becomes synthetic. We also get into formal verification as a framework for AI governance, why consensus and agreement become scarcer as intelligence gets cheaper, and where blockchains might actually fit into that picture in ways that have nothing to do with libertarian fantasy. https://youtu.be/Tv6tDogrN4w

🚨Self-Repaying Loans and the Fight for Crypto’s Soul w/ Scoopy Trooples I spoke to @scupytrooples, the pseudonymous co-founder of @AlchemixFi, about self-repaying loans, the wreckage of DeFi scams, and what ethical crypto finance could actually look like. We dig into how Alchemix works, allowing your debt pays itself off over time and what’s new in V3. We also get into the broader rot in the space: meme coin pump-and-dumps, celebrity rug pulls, prediction market gambling, and how DeFi summer’s promise curdled into financial nihilism. Scoopy is one of the rare crypto founders willing to say the quiet part loud, that most of what gets built in this space is zero-sum at best and predatory at worst, and has been trying to build something different since day one.

Can Seinfeld save democracy from AI? Why does every Tech CEO say AI will take your job... If you have Spotify, add this to your playlist. It's quite possibly the high water mark of my podcasting existence. And also the one in which I argue with an Oxford Philosopher about AI turkeys. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Y0VzJmJhUiCEioFnt1H1e
