FW₿054 - TikTok Next BlockIan and Mandana discuss the recent testimony of the CEO of TikTok in Congress and about a letter signed by tech leaders like Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, among others, calling for a halt to open AI development and how this connects to Bitcoin and the opinions of the Bitcoin community. The episode also touched upon OpenAI, a company that started as a nonprofit, which aimed to open-source all AI technology to prevent anyone from having an upper hand in the industry and creating dangerous robots. OpenAI eventually became a for-profit company and partnered with Microsoft, which bought a stake in the company, but Microsoft doesn't own OpenAI. The podcast explained why tech leaders are concerned about OpenAI and AI models, and how a billion-dollar investment in OpenAI by Microsoft could potentially result in complete control over the company.(Summary generated by GPT-4)ToolsSatoshi Savings CalculatorFollow UsWebsite | Twitter | Instagram | Ian's TwitterPodcast Pubkey: npub1627md0lshr7hsa9z6ud8xpln2xvrszjcqv0uu5d8cjvz4f2vscnsat3aecIan's Pubkey: npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksrMandana's PubKey: npub1yz8n8jf7zye7ew6yftqr4hes6s3zlamaygr8amzkw05lwnqwjz5svspxp7RecommendationsStrike Referral ($5)Swan BitcoinUnchained CapitalFountain Podcasts (listen to earn)Stacker News Referal (100 sats)StatsFlirting With ₿itcoin is 65017 Blocks OldIts been 1463 Blocks Since Last Episode56962 Blocks Until Next Halving3530 Satoshis for $1 This is a public episode.

Another day, another major Crypto company falls. Mandana wonders why FTX news has crept into her normal media outlets. Ian reviews what she's learned without his help thanks to Roca News, and fills in the gaps that only Bitcoiners seem to see. Mandana asks if this will finally end the trading of cryptocurrencies tied to exchanges such as FTX's token FTT. Ian tries to drive the point home that ignoring crypto and Bitcoin is no longer an option. If you care about your hard-earned money, you need to pay close attention to who you “trust” to store your money.
