NET Society

Aaron, Derek, and Chris open the episode reflecting on a recent tech manifesto and what it means for crypto's original vision, before diving into a wide-ranging conversation covering the role of speculation in blockchain ecosystems, the rise of Bittensor and AI-native agent economies, and where AI model capabilities are headed by end of year. The crew also explores a thought-provoking tangent on whether AI could eventually replace political parties and governance systems, before wrapping up with news on Apple's AI strategy, the latest stablecoin legislation, and a Google research breakthrough in AI compression.
