Duke Mtambo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ talks with Jakub Simek about his article on "Blue Checks are the New Blue Collars".

Balaji envisions a better information supply chain and new media business models using Web3 and crypto-instruments, and believes that centralized AI is inherently unethical because it cannot make up for the true diversity of global tech and media talent.
