Kicking things off, Jack Dorsey—a man with too much time on his hands—has vibe-coded his beard into an insecure messaging app that the company admits you shouldn't trust... yet. Meanwhile, if you want a piece of a legendary disaster, the Fyre Festival brand sold for a mere $245k after some shady bidding that might be a "shitty agentic AI" at work.In the world of our future robot overlords, Nvidia's CEO calmly admitted "some harm will be done," while billionaires like Travis Kalanick are busy discovering "vibe physics" with Elon Musk's Grok—an AI that literally checks what its dad thinks before answering. But the real insanity? The internet is demanding an apology from Elmo's hacked account, proving we're mad at the puppet, not the puppeteer. On the more tangible front, Tesla is making desperate moves in Canada and India as sales collapse, while we learn that hackers have been able to stop US trains for over a decade remotely, but no one has bothered to fix the issue. Oh, and laid-off Candy Crush staff? They were forced to train their AI replacements on the way out the door. The future is bright.Over in Media Candy, we're grudgingly impressed by Andor's 14 Emmy nods and the genius faux '90s action movie trailer for Karl Urban's Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II. We also got trailers for Stranger Things 5 and Tron: Ares, where Jared Leto thankfully only speaks two words.Finally, Dave takes us to the Dark Side for a nostalgia trip through the history of the Apple II and the Kaypro 2000 laptop, sparking a debate on why we all coveted a computer that, in retrospect, wasn't that great. This is contrasted with the modern reality of an IPTV pirate getting three years in prison and Metallica issuing a copyright strike against the Pentagon. To wrap it all up, a TEDx talk poses the ultimate question: Has tech delivered on its promises? We're still thinking about that one.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

‘Attention Is All You Need', co-wrote by Illia Polosukhin in 2017, laid the foundation for arguably one of the most consequential tech breakthroughs in our recent history. 1 year later, Illia founded Near AI, which later became Near Protocol. They were visionaries ahead of their time and, although AI took several more years before becoming a viable product, the experience of scaling databases would later prove valuable and applicable in blockchain world. As a result, Near Protocol aims to become the infrastructure layer for AI apps and the agentic economy. In order to achieve this, scaling was paramount, thus Near is one of the first blockchains to implement execution layer sharding, asynchronous execution and stateless validation, which brought the finality time down to 1.2 seconds, with a block time of 0.6 seconds.Topics covered in this episode:Bowen's backgroundNear's pivot from AI to blockchainsThe role of Near OneNear's tech stack upgradesOptimizing network architectureStateless validation & block propagationSharding & asynchronous executionMessage passing between shards & shard ‘equality'Challenges of implementing stateless validationApplications benefiting from Near's finality speedIntent-based infrastructureAI use cases on NearExpanding Near's ecosystemDevelopment challengesNear's vision and goalsEpisode links:Bowen Wang on XNear OneNear on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Crypto Week in Washington is heating up and so is the market! On today's episode I, RA George, break down everything you need to know:✅ U.S. House Voting – Crypto Bills: 3 key acts in play — GENIUS Act (stablecoin rules), CLARITY Act (defining SEC vs. CFTC), and the Anti‑CBDC Act to stop a Federal Reserve surveillance coin. The drama? 210 Democrats voted NO on Anti‑CBDC while only three — Mary Peltola, Marie Perez, and Jared Golden — backed it. After a messy Tuesday vote, Trump pressure flipped GOP votes on Wednesday and now the GENIUS Act is heading for a full vote with the others to follow.

Jonathan Ledgard of Tehanu explains his revolutionary concept of "interspecies money" where animals and natural resources can hold digital identities with crypto wallets to receive payments for the services they provide to humans.Jonathan Ledgard is the CEO of Tehanu and the pioneering mind behind "interspecies money" - a concept that extends digital identity and cryptocurrency payments to animals, plants and natural resources. With a background at The Economist and extensive experience in robotics and AI, Ledgard has developed a system where species can "stake" their existence and receive payments for the essential services they provide to humans. The conversation explores Tehanu's successful pilot project with mountain gorillas in Rwanda, the potential for stable coins backed by conservation efforts and how this model could transform the relationship between humans and nature.Links mentioned from the podcast: Tehanu's WebsiteWatch this episode on video:YouTubeCoinDeskFollow us on Twitter: Sam Ewen, CoinDeskFrom our sponsor:Midnight is a privacy-enhancing blockchain introducing vital, programmable privacy and selective disclosure capabilities.

The conversation begins with their first meeting at the Finney Forum and moves into Vince's background—from his Navy service and intelligence work to the injury that ended his SEAL training. He reflects on being aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during 9/11 and President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech. After leaving the military, Vince faced chronic health issues and overcame a dependency on prescription painkillers, eventually finding purpose in outdoor recreation and earning a related degree. The discussion shifts to Vince's campaign, focusing on his critiques of California's handling of homelessness, crime, drug addiction, and identity politics. He shares crime statistics he personally compiled, arguing they challenge mainstream narratives and are largely ignored by media. Vince discusses his stance on gun rights, his interest in Monero, and his belief that while his campaign is a longshot, it serves to raise awareness. The episode wraps with thoughts on alternative systems, Vince's passion for data-driven truth, and a brief story about meeting David Goggins post-SEAL training. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!
