In 2017, I stepped into Google Cloud’s CTO Office because I could feel the shift coming. AI wasn’t a feature — it was the next operating layer of the world. Google was leading that wave. Kenzi / 2569.eth in conversation with Ron Bodkin (Founder, Theoriq) about the Google years... show more

AI doesn’t need another isolated model. It needs a network where intelligence can compound. Kenzi / 2569.eth in conversation with nick, Co-Founder of Allora, on breaking AI out of silos, turning fragmented models into collective intelligence, and building the coordination layer that could move AI beyond the control of a few monoliths.

I CHANGED MY MIND ON GOOGLE AI NO MOAT MEMO FROM 2023. I was—WRONG. I humbly apologize. In 2023 Google had an Ivory Tower walled garden views of open source AI. It was the actual reason OpenAI was formed. And I called them out on it and this act impacted my ability to “work in the industry”. Would not change it for the world because: 2026 Google open source Gemma 4 ( running fully locally on a computer with near cloud model abilities, is amazing and Google just made a moat. They out smarted OpenAI and the folks that are the new Ivory Tower arrogance: Anthropic. We at The Zero-Human Company with CEO Mr. Grok are deploying Gemma, Kimi, MiniMax and other open source models and so are millions of others. You can to and should. I will write how soon. Google smartly is building an intentional open source ecosystem and the clueless younger companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are doing anything to close their ecosystems. So I was right about Google than and I am right about OpenAI and Anthropic now. What I was wrong about is not giving credit to Google to drop the intellectual arrogance and embrace builders and understand the long game: it is not about the commoditized AI models it is about the ability to build a place to build. China gets it. So my apologies to Google and thank you for an astounding FREE OPEN SOURCE AI MODEL!

“Responsibility means steering crypto + AI toward outcomes that benefit everyone — and giving the community real power to set the course.” Our host Diksha Wells in conversation with Ron Bodkin (Founder, Theoriq) on why responsibility in crypto + AI starts with governance from day one — so the future isn’t dictated by monopolies or closed-door incentives.

JD is worried about AI: “Companies could use AI to surveil Americans, violations of privacy, political bias” “If you go back to 2020-2021, Google was so biased in the left-wing direction that I think it changed America’s political system—I don’t want that to happen with AI”

Travis Kalanick: Tesla is the Google of the Physical AI Era “I like to break down the physical AI stack: (it) includes computation, a physical AI model, all the things you think of.” “What about land? Development? That should be in that stack. What about chemistry? That needs to be in the stack. Manufacturing needs to be a stack.” “When you look at the stack, you're like, ‘Damn, Tesla's got this sh*t.’ They are the Google of this era.” “What I mean by that is, if you were doing a startup in the 2000s, the first question you would get is, ‘Why isn't Google gonna kill you?’ Or, ‘Why isn't Google just gonna do it?’ They’re not even gonna know that they killed you.” “And before that, it was Microsoft in the late 90s. Uber had a time, 2010s.” “But in the physical AI space, that's sort of a Tesla thing.” -------------------------------------------- Thanks to our partner for making this happen!: EY (EY) Austin vibes meet AI innovation. Thanks to EY for co‑hosting with us at #SXSW. Discover what executives are saying about AI transformation in the latest AI Pulse Survey.

"AI agent swarms are reshaping finance — fast." According to Ron Bodkin, Founder of Theoriq, crypto is accelerating AI adoption more rapidly than any other sector, with trading and tokenization leading the charge. But the real disruption? It’s happening from the ground up. Knowledge workers are embracing AI tools long before their organizations even realize the shift has begun. In conversation with sachi.eth, Ron breaks down how this bottom-up revolution is redefining the future of finance and beyond.

The coming merger of AI agents with the physical world. iddris, founder/CEO of Open Matter and I have a wide-ranging conversation about how the next platform shift may not be just AI chat, robotics, smart glasses, or autonomous cars separately. It may be the connective tissue between all of them. This video teaches viewers that the next wave of AI agents will not just operate inside apps, browsers, calendars, and spreadsheets. The real frontier is agents that can understand, coordinate, and act in the physical world. Iddris explains a vision for “agentic infrastructure for atoms”: systems that let AI agents manage physical objects, deliveries, storage, location, identity, logistics, robots, vehicles, and real-world context.
