Hosted by James Altucher and Joseph Jacks.
In this episode, James and JJ discuss Bittensor's unbeatable scale against centralized companies, parallels to the internet/crypto revolutions, unregulatable open source AI, demand math for TAO with subnet growth (e.g., 10-15M additional staked TAO for 1,000 subnets), the upcoming halving event in December 2025, alpha token economics/volatility, regulation debates (e.g., Eric Schmidt on open source AI), dual-use tech risks, and rational optimism for AI's future. They also did a small Q&A at the end of the episode.

Episode Description:
Hosted by James Altucher and Joseph Jacks.
In this episode, James and Joe explore perverse incentives in centralized tech (e.g., Google, Apple), Bittensor's permissionless model for front ends and innovation, subnet ownership as "stocks for ideas," incentives as a meta-language transcending currencies ("incentivism"), trustless systems, tech monopolies and market collapse, historical revolutions, Nvidia's risks, escape velocity challenges, scaling Bittensor via subscriptions, opportunities like Bitcast (decentralized ads) and TAO Hash, Bittensor as a neural network (neurons, axons, dendrites), Metcalfe/Reed's Law for exponential value, reinforcement learning (AlphaZero), the "Age of Experience" for continuous AI, and why Bittensor's success ensures humanity's control over AI—failure means monopolistic dominance.

In this episode, James and Joe brainstorm real-world AI use cases on Bittensor, like building an ER diagnostic model. They explore Bittensor as an upgrade to open source through incentives, distributed training (e.g., Templar subnet), off-chain computation parallels to Bitcoin, repricing AI/commodities, and its potential to disrupt centralized tech via "incentivism" and continuous learning.

Hosted by James Altucher (serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of "Choose Yourself," podcaster, hedge fund manager, chess master, and investor in over 20 companies, with expertise in crypto and AI) and Joseph Jacks (founder and general partner of OSS Capital, the world's first VC firm dedicated to commercial open-source software; early-stage investor in AI and open-source tech, previously Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Quantum Corporation).
In the premiere episode, James and Joe explore Bittensor's decentralized AI ecosystem, contrasting it with centralized giants like xAI's Grok 4. They discuss subnets providing GPUs, datasets, and models; proof-of-useful-work mining; building custom AI agents; and Bittensor's potential to outpace Big Tech in achieving superintelligence.
Plus, tokenomics, real-world apps, capitalism parallels, and bold predictions on TAO's future value.
