  Privacy Talks #5 - Opt Out by Default

  Aug 6, 20261h 30mS2

  Your data is being fed into AI models without anyone asking you first. That's what ties this whole episode together. We debate the claim that Web3 is dead and only DeFi and DePIN are left, Musk's petition to kill the FTC privacy order standing between him and training Grok on user posts, the new Siri running on Google Gemini and what that means for the company that built its brand on privacy first, GitHub Copilot's move to token billing and the end of subsidized AI, the first federal moves on AI regulation in the US, and a chaotic month in crypto with $1.8 billion liquidated in a single day. We close with a few conspiracy theories, including the uncomfortable one: what if on-chain privacy was already cracked and nobody told us? Stay safe, stay private.

  Privacy Talks #4 - The Mass Extinction Event

  Jun 15, 202658 minS2

  The most consequential month in crypto and AI we've covered. This episode breaks down the DeFi mass extinction event — 40+ protocols shut down and $770 million hacked in four months, with April the worst month in crypto history. We cover the AI layoff wave hitting Coinbase and Meta, including the leaked recording of Meta training its models on employees before firing them. We recap Google I/O 2026 and the agentic Gemini era. And we close on a historic month at the top of the industry: Anthropic's first-ever profit and the Karpathy hire, OpenAI's IPO filing and its courtroom win over Elon Musk, and the SEC's conditional approval of Nasdaq Bitcoin index options.
