“While many of the innovations in the space are new, they’re built on decades of work that led to this point. By tracing this history, we can understand the motivations behind the movement that spawned bitcoin and share its vision for the future.”

Context matters. If you don’t know the history of the cypherpunks and where we are coming from. Then you may not really know where we are today. Listen to Lopp’s amazing piece from 2016, Bitcoin & the Rise of the Cypherpunks.

Ai agents are going to be able to seek out, delegate, and pay for micro services from an ecosystem of other agents & services. But the resources being share will be delivered instantly, and irreversibly in the form of compute cycles. Only an instant, bearer, and irreversible payment method that scales massively will be able to meet the demands and provide a backbone for the economy of Ai exchange. In this Guy’s Take episode, I argue why I think Lightning is going to eat ALL of this ecosystem, and why fiat is incompatible. This is Guy’s Take #68 – Lightning & the Ai Economy…

“So we had built this for a while, but because API calls are basically free, there really wasn’t a good match for it. There were some good matches for it and people would do it, but as they were doing it, it was like ‘I can do it this way, but I can also do it with dollars.’ This is kind of a really interesting paradigm when it comes to Ai stuff is that there’s basically 3 or 4 different aspects of Ai that make it so you cannot use credit card relationships to solve the monetization problems there. But you can with Bitcoin and Lightning as it exists today, not requiring any changes to the protocol…”
~ Kody Low

Today we dive into an incredible conversation with Kody Low from Fedi, who is hosting the Ai4All hackathon and believes he has found a solution to an increasingly huge, and seemingly impossible problem within Ai, that you can no longer distinguish human from robot online. What happens when Ai can create an infinite number of new identities? Is this the end of the open internet? find out in this awesome episode.

Today we follow up from #002 with Alek Svetski to get him back on and digging into the open, community project they are releasing, the Spirit of Satoshi. They are exploring the capabilities of LLMs in combination with a data store in scaling one-on-one education that explores a topic or idea through a lens of explicit bias. Can we instill a variety of genuinely different worldviews and perspectives into Ai from which to test our understanding of the world? Svetski thinks we can. Hope you guys enjoy this one!
