Dario Amodei is calling on the industry to slow AI development down, and Altman and Musk agree. @VikrantNYC and I got into AI regulation on last week's episode - what it means for American competitiveness, and why he brought up an FCC internet meeting he sat in on in the early 90s. Full show out now.

Vik Sharma built a messaging app that sends Bitcoin privately, and the path he took to get there is fascinating. Thank you to @JeffBooth for introducing us. Vik started building in Bitcoin after Coinbase closed his account in 2016 over a single transaction, and he's since backed a handful of Bitcoin companies including PubKey and serves as an LP at @orangejuice_btc. We also got into why tariffs ended up making steel producers billions, and what 50 trips to China showed him about America. New episode with @VikrantNYC out now.

“The next stage of really getting Bitcoin into the hands of not just millions, but hundreds of millions of people, is to put it into regular apps. You don’t need a whole team dedicated to implementing Lightning. You could do it in a day over the weekend. It’s something anyone can do.” 🗣️ @sethforprivacy Join @cakewallet and 100+ teams building with Breez: breez.technology/sdk
