Perceptron Network – A Thousand Eyes, One Vision for Decentralized AI Data

Peter Anthony is the co-founder of Perceptron Network, a decentralised data infrastructure purpose-built for AI. A crypto native since 2019, Peter also runs The House of Crypto — one of the fastest-growing crypto YouTube channels — where years of speaking with founders convinced him that the next wave of blockchain projects would be defined by real revenues, real users, and real-world utility. Perceptron, which merged with the 700,000-node BlockMesh network in mid-2025, is his bet on what he sees as AI's biggest unsolved bottleneck: access to high-quality, affordable, real-time data. Why you should listen Data, not compute, is the real AI bottleneck. Peter opens by arguing that while the market has spent the last few years obsessing over GPUs and compute networks like Aethir and Akash, the harder problem sits upstream — the high-quality training data AI models actually need is locked behind paywalls. OpenAI reportedly pays Reddit around $70 million a year, with similar eye-watering cheques going to X, and that pay-to-play economy effectively freezes out smaller AI startups. Research groups like Epoch AI project the stock of public text data will be fully exhausted somewhere between 2026 and 2032, and even Sam Altman now concedes data — not compute — is the binding constraint. Perceptron's pitch is that a decentralised network can fix this by turning users' idle bandwidth into a globally distributed vantage point on the live web, at roughly a 90% cost advantage to traditional centralised data providers. A thousand eyes, one vision. Perceptron's architecture combines Perceptron Nodes — a software client that sits quietly in the background of a user's browser or Android device and lends out unused bandwidth — with Perceptron Agents embedded in Discord, Telegram and WeChat communities, plus a human-in-the-loop Questing app where contributors annotate datasets. The point isn't to harvest anyone's personal data; it's to aggregate geographically diverse viewpoints of the public web. Peter walks through the use cases this unlocks: an e-commerce operator seeing how their products rank simultaneously in New Zealand, the UK and the US; a quant desk arbitraging cross-border discrepancies in gold, oil or crypto prices in real time; a crypto trader spotting a sentiment shift across thousands of Telegram groups before it shows up on price. Perceptron is already supplying data to Everlyn AI, a text-to-image and text-to-video platform that would have been priced out through traditional suppliers. Freshness, sovereignty and a universal basic data income. Peter makes the case that data freshness is becoming the decisive edge for frontier models, because a ChatGPT or Claude answering questions about a fast-moving crypto market on four-month-old data is flying blind. He also makes a pointed argument about annotation bias — that when a narrow set of labellers with their own agendas decide what a dataset "means," the models downstream inherit those opinions — and contends that decentralised annotation is the counter. In the hot-take round Peter calls himself a multi-chain opportunist who still holds Bitcoin as the anchor, argues we're in a 2020-style bull market (not a 2022 bear), and reckons the real 10-year story of AI is that it will displace a lot of jobs but open up far more opportunity for anyone willing to pick up the tools now — pointing to Claude Code as a live example of a non-developer being able to ship working software in minutes. His sci-fi pick: Avatar — fittingly, recorded the day before a trip to Zhangjiajie, the real-world mountain range that inspired Pandora.

Are Pagan Traditions Shaping a New British Identity? In this episode, Academic, broadcaster and critic Shahidha Bari speaks to journalist, DJ and author Zakia Sewell about her book Finding Albion: Myth, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain which has been longlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction 2026. In this episode, Sewell recounts her discovery of an alternative Britain, which lies beyond divisive national myths and symbols. On her quest – punctuated by folk festivals, seasonal celebrations and mystic stone circles – she uncovers how new identities are being formed. Folk and pagan groups are increasing in numbers across the country and are taking ancient myths and repurposing them, in order to make sense of past and present struggles. From the ghosts of Empire that still haunt the nation to increasingly siloed politics, Sewell discusses how and why ancient British folklore and mythology is more relevant than ever.  Zakia Sewell is a broadcaster, writer and DJ from London with a passion for music. She has regularly produced and presented radio documentaries and podcasts for platforms including BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service, Tate, and Boiler Room. She currently hosts Dream Time on BBC 6 Music on Sunday nights, and hosted The NTS Breakfast Show, and Questing w/ Zakia on NTS Radio between 2016-2024.

Vince Kadlubek, co-founder of Meow Wolf, joins Charlie and Ted for a deep dive into the future of immersive entertainment, arguing that in an age of infinite AI-generated digital content, "physical reality is the only place novelty still exists." From Meow Wolf's origins as a scrappy art collective dumpster-diving for materials in Santa Fe to becoming a global location-based entertainment juggernaut with new sites planned for Los Angeles and New York, Vince reveals the philosophy behind building "maximalist" worlds that don't just tell stories but allow audiences to inhabit them.In the news segment, Charlie and Ted discuss Netflix's $83B acquisition of Warner Bros (HBO/IP assets only), Meta cutting 30% of Reality Labs to fund AI while poaching Apple's top designer, and the looming battle for 2026 as Android XR prepares to launch.Vince breaks down Meow Wolf's evolution from static walkthrough experiences to "animated spatial storytelling" where environments and characters respond to user actions—a vision of "XR RPGs" (Extended Reality Role Playing Games) that bridge the gap between video games and theme parks. He explains why the "monoculture" of Game of Thrones is gone forever, why Netflix's acquisition power signals the end of traditional scarcity models, and why the future of storytelling isn't on a screen—it's cross-reality, persistent, and physically grounded.Guest HighlightsOrigins of the Multiverse: How a Santa Fe art collective turned a bowling alley into the "House of Eternal Return" with George R.R. Martin as landlord.The "Cross-Reality" Future: Why physical locations alone aren't enough—Meow Wolf is building a "mechanically connected transmedia universe" where your actions in the park affect your digital profile and vice versa.Hollywood 2.0: New LA location takes over a movie theater to "honor cinema" while deconstructing it into spatial storytelling.Novelty Theory: "I don't care about photorealistic AI gorillas anymore."

Through personal journeys that take her across India and to various sites and cities in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Thailand, archaeologist Nayanjot Lahiri explores how Ashoka's visibility from antiquity to the modern era has been accompanied by a reinvention of his persona.

South East Technological University's (SETU) Walton Institute secures €4m MSCA project to train Europe's next generation of quantum innovators. Walton Institute at South East Technological University has been selected to coordinate QUESTING, a €4 million Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) doctoral network that will train the next generation of quantum internet experts. The project brings together nine European universities and 13 industry partners to address one of the continent's most pressing technology challenges. QUESTING is the first doctoral network to tackle the complete lifecycle of distributed quantum networks. Over the coming years, it will train 15 fully-funded PhD candidates as "Q-System Innovators" - specialists with rare interdisciplinary expertise spanning quantum technology, communications, computing, and social sciences. The project addresses a critical skills shortage. Quantum networks promise to revolutionise secure communications and distributed computing, but Europe requires a trained workforce to design, manage, and operate these systems at scale. Dr Indrakshi Dey, Principal Investigator of QUESTING at Walton Institute, is calling on Europe's brightest talent to apply. "We are not just offering 15 PhD positions," she said. "We are inviting exceptional minds to join an elite, interdisciplinary team backed by industry leaders and world-class infrastructure. If you are ready to stop studying the future and start engineering it, QUESTING is your launching pad." For Ireland, the project represents a significant boost to the country's position in quantum research. As coordinator, Walton Institute will manage the entire consortium, enhancing its international profile and attracting top doctoral talent to the south east region. The institute brings extensive experience leading large-scale EU projects to the role. Speaking about the growing demand for quantum technologies, Dr Deirdre Kilbane, Director of Research at the Walton Institute, SETU, explains the leading role Walton plays in elevating the understanding and capabilities of the technologies. "We are expanding on our existing quantum expertise with the announcement of this QUESTING project here in the Walton Institute. Our team of researchers will be leaders in theoretical modelling and optimisation of advanced quantum networks, which will benefit society in untold ways." The QUESTING consortium includes Trinity College Dublin and the University of Galway's Irish Centre for High-End Computing among its partners. Industry collaborators include Airbus Defence and Space, British Telecommunications, Telecom Italia, and the Austrian Institute of Technology. By training specialists who understand quantum systems from design through to deployment, QUESTING aims to give Europe a competitive edge in the race to build the quantum internet. The project will establish a harmonised doctoral curriculum that becomes the European standard for training in quantum network systems. The work addresses what researchers call the "fertile nexus" where quantum and classical computing meet. Rather than treating quantum networks in isolation, QUESTING takes a holistic approach, integrating expertise from quantum physics, complex systems theory, information engineering, and even humanities disciplines to consider ethical and societal implications. Applications for the 15 funded PhD positions are now open. Contact Indrakshi.Dey@waltoninstitute.ie for details.

The book stands as a unique perspective of alternative psychology, self-help and modern existentialism.She is best known in the UK for her research with authors Andrew Collins, Graham Phillips and Paul Weston, and her work has directly contributed to many of their books on the genre of earthmysteries, forbidden archaeology and historical investigation. A key figure in the alternativearchaeology community since the 1990's, Debbie provided inspiration and foundational ideas forAndrew's books The Circlemakers, The Second Coming and From the Ashes of Angels. Thiscollaborative research into the prehistoric origins of civilisation continued with her involvement inhis books, Denisovan Origins in 2019, and Origins of the Gods in 2022, co-authored with Dr GregLittle.Debbie is also known for her extensive work on the Rosslyn Chapel Project between 1992 to 2003 on the subject of the mystical beliefs and practices of the Knights Templar and the Sinclair family for key figures of the project. They included Niven Sinclair, author Stephen Prior, historian Robert Brydon and the then curator of the chapel, Judith Fiskin.As an exponent of the ‘Questing' movement since 1990, Debbie defines it as the unique practice ofinteracting with ancient sites and the natural landscape to retrieve lost historical knowledge, solvemysteries, or effect change in the landscape and within the self. Using esoteric techniques such asmeditation and mental visualisation, ‘questing' is a physical pursuit encompassing many differentspiritual, esoteric and occult disciplines to obtain knowledge of the past.Debbie's current work focuses on research into animism and the philosophy behind prehistoricshamanism, offering a unique perspective on the question of ‘what the ancients were up to'.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

In many games you need to go on a quest and save the world. Unfortunately your washing machine is busted and you really need to get home to do the laundry. That is the premise in upcoming game “Questing”, love-letter to classic 16-bit adventure games, about a chosen hero who never wanted to be chosen. In this interview developer Ian Lynch joins the podcast to talk about his career working for CD Project Red on Cyberpunk and how he got started making Questing, what we can expect from the game, why he made this a satire of old school adventure games and action adventure games and much much more!Questing Steam PageJaggy Snake Games Official SiteAdventure Games Podcast Official SiteIf you would like to stay up to date make sure you subscribe to the podcast.

1. Intro* Thomas welcomes listeners, positions episode as an “alpha drop” on gaming.* Introduces Jorge, a leading voice for Solana gaming and marketing strategist inside the Solana Foundation.2. Why Web3 gaming is finally real* AAA & indie teams have been building since 2021 fund-raise phase; quality titles simply take 3-6 years.* Solana now hosts every genre: AAA (Star Atlas), mid-core (Aurory, Decimated), mobile (Honeyland).* Light at the end of the tunnel: playable builds, user-ready economies, not just white-papers.3. Solana's differentiation for games* Ultra-low fees let studios place gameplay-critical actions (fueling a ship, item craft, marketplace swap) directly on-chain.* Near-instant finality = seamless UX; devs can read on-chain user behavior to fine-tune economies.* Global payments and provably scarce assets remove grey-market risk (eBay skin scams, black-market key reselling).4. The new Gaming on Solana initiative* Mission: aggregate content, surface hidden gems, spotlight devs & streamers.* Weekly Twitter Spaces (+ recorded pods) with founders & players.5. Solana Game Pass alpha* Four-week mint window (Magic Eden) – open entry, no FOMO drop games.* Questing system that retro-rewards late minters so nobody misses out.* Prize pool funded by studios and infra partners (Solflare, Boom, Gamer, Beam, Play Solana, etc.).* Mirrors Xbox/PSN language to avoid NFT jargon and lower friction for mainstream gamers.6. Tackling gamer skepticism* Early “play-to-earn Ponzinomics” poisoned the well; Solana message is fun first, ownership optional.* Blockchain benefits framed in gamer terms (true item ownership, fair markets, instant global payouts).7. Compliance & tooling conversation* Jorge stresses need for legal teams & CFOs in Web3 startups.* Both speakers highlight emerging tax software (e.g., Wakeyn) to wrangle 50k+ on-chain TXs.* Regulatory clarity in US improving; Solana's low-cost chain uniquely positioned for broad retail adoption.8. Outlook & Events* “On-chain super-cycle”: transaction growth > price hype.* Content blitz planned for Accelerate NYC (May 22) – full camera crew capturing live demos, dev interviews.* Breakpoint Abu Dhabi (Dec) to showcase Game Pass results & 2025 road-map.9.

In episode 23 we talk about games and being gamers. We explore what makes one a gamer, the different types of games we engage in (board, video, TTRPG) and our feelings around the label and the activity.Key Takeaways 1. The label of "gamer," like "artist," can be difficult for us to claim. When we examine why, we see that we sometimes feel too casual about it, believing we don't invest enough time or effort to deserve the label.2. We find that gaming serves as a social activity. Both video games and board games allow us to bond with friends and family, whether through collaboration or competition.3. We notice that we have personal judgments around gaming being a lesser or wasteful hobby. So we try to remind ourselves that: A. The artistry of games in terms of storytelling, visuals, and mechanics is valid. B. Playing games gives us chances to experience and work through emotions, helping us develop resilience. C. Games put us in unique scenarios that can be cathartic. D. Gaming enables us to build skills and potentially hone our own storytelling.4. In both art and gaming, we find that the process, so the storytelling and the journey, is just as important, if not more so, than the win or level-up moment.Write to use about your favourite games at notarealartistpodcast@gmail.com, feel free to share this podcast with a friend and remind them that they have just lost the game Hosted on Acast.

Glenda "GG" Goodrich, 72, has been questing in the Lakota tradition for 25 years. Questing, a form of going out on the land for self-discovery, has been used for eons. It involves separating from one's regular life, spending time alone and incorporating what the lessons learned can mean in your life. "Nature becomes a mirror that reflects what is going on inside you," Glenda says. "Over a number of years, I undertook a series of wilderness quests in Oregon, Washington and California in a search to discover what I can learn about life, death, happiness, spirituality and forgiveness through the healing and restorative powers of the natural world," says Glenda. "From a grandmother to my grandkids, from one nature lover to another, I aim to leave readers empowered, at peace with the past, accepting of themselves, and, most importantly, convinced in the indispensability of nature and all the gifts it has to offer." Her book, Solo Passage: 13 Quests, 13 Questions, Glenda chronicles the sacred ceremonies that connected her to the land, wove her into nature's web, and transformed her from a woman who worked to please others into a woman who forged her own path. The book is a brilliant collection of adventures—the touch of coyote fur, a snake's kiss, a ceremonial blood offering—and a profound reflection on the healing and restorative power of nature. Among the questions she explores in the book are: "How can I become my own spiritual authority?" and "How can I reignite the wildness in me?" Glenda's book was released last September and was a BookLife Editor's Pick -- “As Goodrich finds solace in her quests, she successfully depicts a symbiotic relationship between nature, solitude and artistic expression. This contemplative journey provides a powerful metaphor for the multifaceted nature of the human experience, emphasizing the importance of self-discovery and reconnecting with nature in finding our truest selves, no matter what age or stage in life. Readers who are curious about the inner workings of the spirit, lovers of nature, or seekers of self-discovery will be enthralled—and likely inspired to embark on their own quests.” Says Rebecca Jamieson, the author of The Body of All Things: "[Solo Passage: 13 Quests, 13 Questions is a] book for everyone who loves wild places and longs to live an examined life, Solo Passage is a wise, stunningly beautiful page-turner that will leave you moved, inspired and ready to connect more deeply with nature—and yourself."  In this episode, Glenda shares her experience as a "nature nymph" in Death Valley and learning from her life's teachers how to speak her truth without blame or judgment, among other pearls. She guides others to learn how they can be their truest and most honest selves in this life. As an artist, art doula, SoulCollage® facilitator, writer and convener of ceremony, Glenda brings together earth-based rituals, community gatherings and creative workshops in a search for new ways to explore creative potential and love for the Earth. She feels most alive exploring wild places and spending time with her two children, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. GG lives in a cottage in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. She humbly acknowledges that she lives on the land of the Kalapuya.
