They kick things off with Shl0ms’ Monet fakeout, using the viral AI art discourse to talk about attention games, bots, and the strange durability of crypto art. From there, they debate Martha Stewart’s AI home management startup and whether celebrity-backed ChatGPT wrappers are a real consumer wedge or just another top signal. The conversation then widens into model commoditization, low switching costs, U.S.-China chip strategy, robotics, and the next phase of the AI race. The crew also digs into Zcash, financial privacy, Hyperliquid’s USDH drama, and the exhaustion of retail crypto getting co-opted by insiders. The episode wraps with a detour through World Cup bloat, declining birth rates, “full-time children,” family formation, and the unsettling prospect of pregnancy robots.\n\nMentioned in the episode\nSCHL0MS Monet post https://x.com/SHL0MS/status/2054280631807316329\nMartha Stuart Home AI https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260512987617/en/Martha-Stewart-Announces-Hint-a-New-Home-Management-Platform-Built-on-Human-Expertise-and-AI\n99% of people don’t use paid AI https://x.com/JohnLeFevre/status/2025334966884708846\nTrump’s trip to China https://x.com/nypost/status/2055098939351650595\nRobots working 8 hour shift https://x.com/adcock_brett/status/2054603963996278786\nCoinbase x Hyperliquid news https://x.com/coinbase/status/2054894760859504936\nWorld Cup halftime show lineup https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/articles/madonna-shakira-bts-co-headline-historic-final-halftime-show\nJasmine Sun China on AI and work https://x.com/jasminewsun/status/2055069143716766099\n\nShow & Hosts\nNet Society: https://x.com/net__society\nAaron Wright: https://x.com/awrigh01\nChris F: https://x.com/ChrisF_0x\nDerek Edwards: https://x.com/derekedws\nPriyanka Desai: https://x.com/pridesai\n\nProduction & Marketing\nProducer/Editor:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/CC4s2d8mVIQsuiN_U5XIqmdWsznh6Oio3A_cwsaT-8I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84ZDBk/Y2Q3ZWU5MjQwZDI5/MmIxYzgxMjM2OGNj/ZjE0Yi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
