My guest today is Melanie Moses, a Professor of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico, an External Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute, and Chair of the New Mexico AI Consortium. Melanie's work spans a wide range of disciplines all unified by her deep understanding of complexity theory.In our conversation, Melanie and I explore how scaling theory reveals surprising patterns across nature, technology, and society. We discuss what decentralized systems like ant colonies can teach us about building more robust AI, and what the immune system tells us about information networks. We also delve into the costs of building scalable infrastructure, and why we might need new approaches to governance that can scale with our global challenges. Finally, we explore whether there could ever be a universal scaling law and what young researchers should know about pursuing interdisciplinary paths.

Crypto's privacy war isn't simmering anymore. It's blowing wide open. What began as a digital experiment has morphed into something closer to a modern-day Reformation. An uprising against centralized power, driven not by scripture, but by code. From Brussels to Washington, authorities are drafting their own theses. More KYC. Fewer privacy tools. A coordinated effort to strip anonymity from the system. But the crypto world isn't kneeling. For many, financial freedom means self-custody, not compliance. It means privacy by design, not by permission. As someone who has long followed this space and considers XRP one of the most fascinating and resilient projects in the ecosystem, I have watched these battles unfold with growing concern. This isn't just about coins or code. It is about whether digital privacy survives the crusade against it or gets excommunicated entirely. Why Crypto Was Always About Privacy When Bitcoin launched in 2009, it wasn't just about making money. It was a protest. A way to flip the script on centralized banks, bloated institutions, and the people who controlled your financial life. Crypto's early adopters were rebels. The ideas behind it? Pseudonymity, freedom from censorship, and control over your own funds. Privacy coins like Monero and Zcash weren't shady outliers. They were the purest version of the original dream. Self-custody wallets let people hold their own keys. No middlemen. No questions asked. It made sense for a movement born from libertarian roots, where freedom from surveillance was sacred. But that dream is now under threat. The threat is not from hackers, but from the very systems crypto tried to escape. Why Crypto Scares Governments Governments never like a system they can't watch or tax. That's where the friction started. The European Union rolled out its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, aiming for comprehensive oversight. The United Kingdom pushed its financial promotions regime, tightening the reins on crypto marketing. And the US Treasury? It's making aggressive moves to bring Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements to the forefront of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms. Their stated reasons sound reasonable: they want to stop money laundering, terrorism financing, and tax evasion. A critical distinction exists between fighting genuine crime and effectively criminalizing financial privacy for all. However, that line is indeed getting increasingly blurry. Crackdown measures against privacy coins are ramping up with alarming speed. Monero and Zcash, once mainstays, have been delisted from major exchanges as compliance pressures mount. Developers of privacy-focused wallets now face legal threats and increasing scrutiny. Even established tools like Wasabi Wallet are blocking users in certain regions, demonstrating the immediate impact of these regulatory shifts. Crypto's privacy tools are no longer merely innovative instruments; they have become targets in a broader regulatory crackdown, pushing the boundaries of individual financial freedom. The ongoing pressure is forcing the crypto ecosystem to adapt, often by compromising on the very privacy features that were once central to its appeal. KYC vs. DeFi: The Fight Over Self-Custody KYC means Know Your Customer. It's how banks check who you are, verifying identities to prevent illicit activities. However, in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, where no single entity controls the platform, the question of who performs this checking remains unanswered, much to the discomfort of regulators. Decentralized platforms like Uniswap lack a central off switch or a single point of control, making traditional enforcement mechanisms ineffective. Tornado Cash, for instance, did not simply vanish after sanctions were imposed; its code remained open-source and operational, a testament to the resilient nature of decentralization. This inherent characteristic makes enforcing KYC in DeFi incredibly challenging. It is also precisely wh...

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with the masked collective known as the PoliePals—led by previous guest Cathal—to explore their audacious vision of blending humans, nature, and machines through cryptographic reality verification and decentralized systems. They talk about neural and cryptographic projector-camera technologies like the “truth beam” and “reality transform,” analog AI using optical computing, and how open protocols and decentralized consensus could shift power away from corporate control. Along the way, they share stories from Moad's chaotic tinkering workshop, Meta's precise Rust-coded Alchemy project, and Terminus Actual's drone Overwatch. For links to their projects, visit Poliebotics on Twitter and Poliebotics on GitHub.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:05 Neural and cryptographic projector-camera systems, reality transform for art and secure recordings, provably unclonable functions.00:10 Moad's GNOMAD identity, chaotic holistic problem-solving, tinkering with tools, truth beam's manifold mapping.00:15 Terminus Actual's drone Overwatch, security focus, six hats theory, Lorewalker's cryptic mathematical integrations.00:20 Analog AI and optical computing, stacked computational layers, local inference, physical reality interacting with AI.00:25 Meta's Alchemy software, music-driven robotics, precise Rust programming, contrast with neural network unpredictability.00:30 Decentralization, corporate dependency critique, hardware ownership, open protocols like Matrix, web of trust, Sybil attacks.00:35 Truth beam feedback loops, decentralized epistemology, neo-feudalism, Diamond Age references, nano drone warfare theory.00:40 Biotech risks, lab truth beams for verification, decentralized ID systems, qualitative consensus manifolds.00:45 Maker culture insights, 3D printing community, iterative prototyping, simulators, recycling prints.00:50 Investment casting, alternative energy for classic cars, chaotic hardware solutions, MoAD workshop's mystical array.00:55 Upcoming PolyPals content, Big Yellow Island recordings, playful sign-offs, decentralized futures.Key InsightsThe PoliePals are pioneering a system that combines cryptographic models, neural projector-camera technologies, and decentralized networks to create tools like the “truth beam” and “reality transform,” which verify physical reality as a provably unclonable function. This innovation aims to secure recordings and provide a foundation for trustworthy AI training data by looping projections of blockchain-derived noise into reality and back.Moad's character, the GNOMAD—a hybrid of gnome and nomad—embodies a philosophy of chaotic problem-solving using holistic, artful solutions. His obsession with edge cases and tinkering leads to surprising fixes, like using a tin of beans to repair a broken chair leg, and illustrates how resourcefulness intersects with decentralization in practical ways.Terminus Actual provides a counterbalance in the group dynamic, bringing drone surveillance expertise and a healthy skepticism about humanity's inherent decency. His perspective highlights the need for security consciousness and cautious optimism when developing open systems that could otherwise be exploited.Meta's Alchemy project demonstrates the contrast between procedural precision and chaotic neural approaches. Written entirely in Rust, it enables music-driven robotic control for real-world theater environments. Alchemy represents a future where tightly optimized code can interact seamlessly with hardware like Arduinos while remaining resistant to AI's unpredictable tendencies.The episode explores how decentralization could shape the coming decades, likening it to a neo-feudal age where people consciously opt into societies based on shared values. With open protocols like Matrix, decentralized IDs, and webs of trust, individuals could regain agency over their data and technological ecosystems while avoiding corporate lock-in.Optical computing experiments reveal the potential for analog AI, where stacked shallow computational layers in physical media allow AI to “experience” sensory input more like a human. Though still speculative, this approach could produce richer, lower-latency responses compared to purely digital models.Maker culture and hardware innovation anchor the conversation in tangible reality. Moad's MoAD workshop, filled with tools from industrial sewing machines to 3D printers and lathes, underscores how accessible technologies are enabling chaotic creativity and recycling systems. This grassroots hardware tinkering aligns with the PoliePals' broader vision of decentralized, cooperative technological futures.

Crypto lawyer Nelson Rosario returns to the show to discuss the evolving landscape of decentralized AI and his role as General Counsel for the the Advanced AI Society (formerly known as the Decentralized AI Society), an association focused on engineering best practices, advocating for policy, fostering community, and enabling capital formation for decentralized AI startups Nelson discusses the changing definition of decentralization, highlighting its origins in early crypto's focus on resilience and censorship resistance, and its current intersection with artificial intelligence. He explains the core reasons driving decentralized AI efforts: the potential for single service providers to control our access to AI models, computing power, and the data that underlies it all. The conversation explores how decentralized AI aims to offer an alternative to large tech companies like Facebook, Microsoft, and OpenAI,  But Nelson also points out the challenges of competing with resource rich organizations and suggests that decentralized AI might complement existing systems by "chopping it up" into distributed components.  The discussion also touches upon current players in the decentralized AI space, notably Bitensor and HyperCycle, and highlights the role of decentralized storage solutions like Filecoin and Arweave. Nelson concludes by reflecting on the potentially profound societal impact of AI, likening it to other "tectonic technological revolutions" in human history. Drawing from the "Butlerian Jihad" concept in Frank Herbert's Dune, he cautions against blindly trusting AI and underscores the need for humans to remain intentional in their use of technology to prevent a decline in critical thinking and creativity. Key Takeaways: Decentralization in AI aims to prevent single points of control over models, compute, and data, promoting censorship resistance. Decentralized AI faces challenges in competing with large, centralized tech companies due to their immense resources, but can serve as a complementary set of systems. DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) is crucial for the robust existence of decentralized AI applications. Industry associations like the Advanced AI Society play a vital role in setting standards, advocating for policy, building community, and attracting capital for decentralized AI projects. AI represents a transformative technological shift, and intentional human engagement is critical to navigate its societal implications.

In this episode of The Future of Water, Bluefield Senior Analyst Amber Walsh joins host Reese Tisdale to break down Grundfos's recent acquisition of Newterra and what it signals for the future of decentralized water treatment. Amber not only unpacks the deal itself—Grundfos's fifth treatment-related acquisition since 2020—but also explores the broader competitive landscape for onsite treatment solutions. Decentralized treatment, also referred to as onsite water management, is gaining traction among industrial, and increasingly municipal and commercial, users. But why? What's driving solutions providers like Grundfos to expand into treatment? And what does this mean for customers? We get into it all—plus the market opportunities, players to watch, and the underlying trends shaping the shift toward modular systems. Key Topics Covered: Grundfos + Newterra: Why the world's largest pump manufacturer is acquiring a U.S.-based modular treatment firm. Strategic Expansion: A look at Grundfos's treatment push—from Eurowater and MECO to the recent acquisition of Culligan's C&I business. Industrial Market Growth: U.S. industrial water market projected at US$22.9B in 2025, with high-growth segments in pharma, data centers, and food & beverage. Why Decentralized?: Faster deployment, on-site reuse, risk outsourcing—meeting demands in a changing regulatory and infrastructure landscape. Who Else Is Playing?: From Saur's 13 acquisitions since 2020 to Xylem's Evoqua acquisition, to PE-backed firms building up treatment players—Amber outlines the rising competition. What's Next: M&A, lifecycle services, digital integration, and a growing focus on water reuse are transforming the treatment ecosystem.

Decentralized finance feels like the future. This category of financial services is built on blockchain technology and transacted solely in crypto. It's executed by automated programs called “smart contracts,” which helps reduce costs. And advocates say DeFi is more democratic: Everyone involved is just an anonymous node on the blockchain, making favoritism impossible. But how will it really play out? Some tell the Boston Fed's podcast, Six Hundred Atlantic, that it requires too much tech savvy to be truly inclusive. Others worry about the safety of a “trustless system,” where the lack of an intermediary could make DeFi vulnerable to people with bad intent. And skeptics doubt decentralized finance can remain decentralized at all.   View the presentations New York University professor Hanna Halaburda and UC-Berkeley professor Christine Parlour submitted for the Boston Fed's 68th Economic Conference. Watch the panel they participated in, titled “Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Blockchain/Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), and Smart Contracts: Hope or Hype?”

Shashank Sripada merges institutional rigor with systemic change. After managing $7B+ in assets and advising the White House, he co-founded Gaia to prove decentralized models can scale equitably. Gaia aims to empower anyone—from individual knowledge workers to domain experts—to build, launch, scale, and monetize their own AI agents. Why you should listen Gaia aims to empower anyone—from individual knowledge workers to domain experts—to build, launch, scale, and monetize their own AI agents. Each agent runs as a Gaia “node,” a lightweight, sandboxed runtime powered by technologies like WasmEdge, fine‑tuned open‑source LLMs, embedding models, vector databases, prompt management, a plugin system, and open APIs. This stack can be deployed anywhere (personal devices, cloud, edge), enabling agents that reflect the creator's own style, knowledge, values, and expertise. Unlike closed‑box SaaS solutions (e.g., GPT‑4), Gaia nodes enable deep customization via fine‑tuning, RAG‑enhanced prompts, schema‑enforced outputs, and domain‑specific knowledge embeddings. This reduces hallucinations, cuts costs, and maintains data privacy. Users can build agents that speak and think like them, tailored to specific domains—far beyond generic LLM capabilities—and can interconnect to ingest external tools, memory systems, or APIs seamlessly.

BUILD A GREENER FUTURE:

In this enlightening episode of The Free Thought Project podcast, Jason flies solo (with Matt on vacation) for a deep-dive conversation with longtime liberty activist and Free Talk Live co-host, Mark Edge. Note: Jason's mic wasn't working correctly for the first 17 minutes — but the insights are worth sticking around for. Mark's radio co-host and Free Talk Live co-founder, Ian Freeman, is currently serving time in federal prison for the "crime" of facilitating Bitcoin transactions — a glaring example of the federal government's ongoing war on crypto. We unpack Ian's unjust prosecution, his prank encounter with Joe Biden that may have put him in the feds' crosshairs, and the heartbreaking reality that Free Talk Live is now on life support. Jason and Mark also reflect on their time at the 2025 Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the energy and evolution of the crypto movement, and briefly touch on Roger Ver's new book Hijacking Bitcoin. We discuss the importance of decentralization, the co-optation risks crypto faces, and Ross Ulbricht's powerful first public speech since being imprisoned in 2013. The conversation turns toward the two-party illusion, the failures of political reform through party expansion, and whether a potential second Trump term could change the trajectory of the crypto crackdown. We wrap with a white pill: Mark's optimism, what keeps him going after nearly two decades in the fight for liberty, and how we can support Ian and others like him. This is a must-listen for anyone who cares about digital freedom, liberty activism, and the future of financial sovereignty.
