Episode description

Things are getting stupid out there, thanks to Web3 — the grift-crazy era of crypto and the A.I. slop. Our friend Hannah Gais joins the show to talk about her experience at a Polymarket pop-up bar in Washington, D.C., where people were encouraged to drain their wallets betting on the news and shrug off the possibility that our government is engaging in insider betting on the platform. 

We also discuss the death of Sora, OpenAI’s video platform, and what that says about the field. Jared, Mike, and Hannah then struggle to make sense of the influx of videos focused on A.I. fruits cheating on one another — and stage their own play inspired by the genre.

Come for the slop; stay for check-ins on two of the greatest freaks of the era: Forgiato Blow and Nick O’Neil.
