I had two conversations on AI recently - one about its promise as a tech tool, and one about its dangers as a portal to hell. I think both are true.

Cyprian (aka Vin Armani) joins me to discuss his take on AI. If you're not in for weird spiritual stuff, this is not the episode for you! We talk about whether AI is a technology or an entity, how it differs from other tech, and what it means for civilization.

It took a while, but the latest ChatGPT Large Language Model AI thingy finally got me seeing an amazing future. Steve Patterson brings some excellent analysis to what's going on and what it means.

Time to tell you about my new endeavor!

Alex Agut and his biz partner wanted tiny payments for apps they were building. Traditional payment processors couldn't do it. Bitcoin could, but was too complicated for normal users. BTC fees became too high for tiny payments, but BHC and BSV emerged to restore the original low-fee design of bitcoin. That's when Alex had an idea: What if instead of waiting for a normie-friendly bitcoin wallet, they built one? HandCash.io is a user-first wallet with a built in app store for tiny payment apps. They also provide developers with super easy tools to let users login and pay + earn with HandCash. We walk through the experience and talk about what the future holds.
