DROPS E27: Ben from Talus Labs: Building the Future of Decentralized AI Agents In this episode Ben breaks down why AI isn’t a bubble, how Talus is redefining on-chain agents, and why optimism is something you earn and not something you just feel. We talk about: - Why AI is not a bubble and how mega-cap tech is funding the next AI wave through massive CapEx - How Talus enables decentralized AI agents that can act and transact trustlessly - The three big crypto × AI intersections: compute, data ownership, and intelligent on-chain workflows - Why AI needs verifiable, censorship-resistant execution layers and why blockchains provide that - Nuclear energy as a prerequisite for AGI-scale compute demand - Why SWE’s object model + parallelization is perfect for autonomous agent payments and priority fees And much more!

François Chollet (François Chollet) has spent years asking a different question than most of the AI world. Instead of scaling what already works, he’s trying to understand what intelligence actually is and how to build it from first principles. In this episode of the Lightcone Podcast, he traces that path from his early work on deep learning to the creation of the ARC Prize, and the launch of ARC V3, a new benchmark designed to measure something deeper than performance: the ability to learn, adapt, and reason efficiently in entirely new environments. He explains why today’s systems may be hitting limits, what recent breakthroughs really mean, and why reaching true general intelligence may require a fundamentally different approach. 00:00 - AGI by 2030? 00:31 - Introducing Ndea: A New Path Beyond Deep Learning 01:08 - A New ML Paradigm 01:30 - Replacing neural nets with compact symbolic programs 03:04 - Why Ndea Isn’t Competing With Coding Agents 05:20 - Why Everyone Might Be Wrong About Scaling LLMs 07:22 - Why Coding Agents Suddenly Work So Well 08:50 - The Limits of LLMs in Non-Verifiable Domains 10:48 - What AGI Actually Means (And Why Most Definitions Are Wrong) 13:30 - Why Deep Learning Hits a Wall 14:00 - ARC’s Origin Story 18:20 - ARC Benchmarks Explained: From V1 to V3 22:49 - The RL Loop Powering Coding Agents Today 27:03 - ARC-AGI V3: Measuring “Agentic Intelligence” 31:14 - Inside the ARC Game Studio 35:31 - Could AGI Fit in 10,000 Lines of Code? 44:01 - Building Ndea: From Idea to Compounding Research Stack 46:46 - The Future of ARC: Benchmarks That Evolve With AI 47:21 - Why There’s Still Huge Opportunity for New AI Paradigms 53:37 - How to Build a Breakout Open Source Project - Lessons From Keras 56:39 - Advice For How To Think About AI

1/ I’ve known Nick White for nearly 6 years. We met while building Harmony Protocol, he was a cofounder, I led growth. Nick is a genuine builder who cares about pushing crypto forward. We caught up on the pod to talk Celestia 🦣: what it is, why it matters, where it’s going. Summary Peter Abilla interviews Nick White, VP at Celestia Labs, to unpack how Celestia is solving the blockchain scalability problem. They explore the breakthrough of data availability sampling, the shift from monolithic to modular blockchains, and how Celestia fits into the broader Ethereum ecosystem. Nick shares insights on trade-offs in modular design, product market fit, cost advantages, and what’s next for ZKVMs and modular infra. Takeaways • Celestia is redefining how blockchains handle data availability • Blockchain scalability remains a major challenge • Data availability sampling (DAS) is a core innovation • Modular blockchains offer flexibility and specialization • Trade-offs exist between modular and monolithic designs • “Cathedral vs. Bazaar” analogy captures the decentralization shift • Celestia works alongside Ethereum, not against it • Product market fit depends on developer traction and real-world use • Celestia reduces costs and improves reliability • ZKVMs are key to the future of modular blockchain development Timeline (00:00) Introduction to Celestia and its vision (01:00) The scalability challenge in blockchain (06:04) How data availability sampling works (10:10) Comparing monolithic and modular blockchains (14:39) Trade-offs of modular blockchain design (18:21) The Cathedral and Bazaar analogy (22:41) How Celestia fits into the blockchain ecosystem (24:49) What makes Celestia’s architecture unique (26:08) Defining product market fit for Celestia (31:05) Cost savings and performance benefits (35:48) Distribution and growth strategy (40:13) ZKVMs and the modular future (44:36) What’s coming next for Celestia -------- Episode is brought to you by Infinex.

They already have 27,000 subscribers — because people want what they offer: 100 Gbps internet connections for just $80/m. How is that possible? Somos is building a new kind of network from the ground up — plugging into transatlantic fiber, building his own backbone, connecting into apartments, and building custom routers that can handle that much throughput.

Scott Jennings has built a reputation for speaking truth to power on CNN, but what stood out to me in this conversation was his honesty, his perspective, and his heart. We filmed this episode over a month ago in Washington DC, and it was the perfect backdrop for a raw and real discussion about politics, faith, and family. We talked about what it takes to sit in the lion’s den night after night, debating politics in front of a national audience, and why authenticity matters more now than ever. Scott opened up about his career path from Kentucky to the Bush White House, to campaign war rooms, and now to CNN, where his voice has become one of the most recognizable conservative perspectives in America. He shared stories about Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the lessons he has learned from decades inside politics and media. We also talked about faith, family, and why staying grounded matters when the world is coming at you full speed. Scott Jennings is sharp, candid, and passionate about America’s future, but what I walked away with was a reminder of his integrity and his courage to stand firm in the face of constant pressure. Chapters: 00:03:08:12 – Thoughts on Donald Trump's presidency so far 00:06:32:00 – How has President Trump improved since 2016 00:08:35:01 – How the incident in Butler PA changed everything 00:13:11:23 – Scott Jennings on CNN 00:18:10:19 – How the debates work on CNN 00:20:52:15 – How does Scott Jennings keep his cool while debating 00:24:25:11 – Any strained relationships on set 00:27:18:25 – Scott Jennings' best and worst moments on air 00:31:06:08 – How does Scott Jennings deal with being outnumbered 00:41:12:23 – Scott's career in politics 00:44:39:16 – Mitch McConnell 00:52:11:11 – Political run in Kentucky for Scott 00:54:37:24 – Family 01:00:11:02 – Closing thoughts 01:03:29:11 – The Yellow Ribbon
