Chat_81 – An Austrian View of US Collapse with Peter St. Onge
“…At some point the entire financial system becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the Federal Reserve” — Peter St. Onge
Today we dive into the fiat and banking crisis with Austrian economist Peter St. Onge in exploring the insolvencies of our banking and political institutions, how we got here, and where things are likely heading. What courses of action are available for the US government and the Fed and what can we take away from the historical examples of countries taking this same path to apply to our own? @ProfStOnge brings valuable perspective and insight to making sense of the fall of the US monetary system.

Chat_80 – Building the Ark with Burak
With the Introduction of Ark, the new 2nd layer payments and privacy protocol introduced with Read_734. I left with a lot of excitement, but I still had a ton of questions, so it felt like time for a chat with Burak, the creator of Ark. We dive into the bigger picture, how this is similar to lightning, how it is different, and then in an attempt to piece together the working parts we go through a bunch of edge cases and detail exactly how the ASP, past owners of Ark balances, and current owners of Ark balances all respond to secure the ownership of their coins. Don’t miss this one. This is Bitcoin Audible Chat #80 – Building the Ark with Burak.
Don’t forget to check out arkpill.me for more details.
Here are a few of the links that Burak sent my way for more exploration. Let me know if you want me to cover one on the show! Shoot me a message on Fountain

Ai Chat_002 – Bias & Truth in AI with Aleks Svetski
“This is the first time we’ve interacted with anything other than a parrot that can string together a coherent sentence. And it sounds stupid, but it’s actually true. So we are anthropomorphizing, we are projecting our own consciousness onto this thing, and we are immediately imagining Terminator, Minority Report, God knows what else we are imagining – the Ray Kurzweil’s of the world – we’re imagining that all of a sudden, that’s it, we unlocked it, basically we have discovered God. We did it. To me that’s such a mix of naivety, ignorance, and arrogance that it’s not even funny.”
~ Aleks Svetski
We have an awesome conversation kicking off episode 2 of AI Unchained today with Aleks Svetski, who is currently building a not-yet-public project in the AI world. He brings a very unique perspective that tries to bring back a bit of perspective to the imaginations gone wild on the world ending possibilities of AI. What is the truth of it? And can we instill “truth” in these machines? Can we make them “objective and unbiased?” Or is there something both inherently foolish and presuming in even the attempt of such a thing, that we can prevent making the same mistakes of the past. Don’t miss this crazy conversation.

Ai Chat_001 – A New Frontier, with Jeff Booth
Welcome to the first episode of AI Unchained, a new show exploring how AI technology can be a means of empowering the individual, rather than a system of control, and all the tools and perspectives that enlighten that journey.
Our first guest is none other than Jeff Booth, the author of “The Price of Tomorrow” on the incredible deflationary force of technology and why our only choice is to embrace it, not fight it. If you are trying to make sense out of the change that is being unleashed, you do not want to miss this show. Welcome to AI Unchained.

Chat_79 – The Spirit of Bitcoin with John Vallis
I joined John today for an over 2 hour rip on the nature of Bitcoin, numerous technical developments, the trade offs of those in the past, the consequences of changes – even those considered well analyzed and understood, the chaos of consensus around altering consensus, the spirit of Bitcoin vs the letter of the law, and SO much more! This was such an awesome discussion on the nuance and complexity of Bitcoin that I felt I had to share it with the Audionauts. Hope you guys enjoy
