On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Jesse Glass, Lead AI Researcher at DecideAI , steps into the spotlight at a moment when the stakes for AI and data privacy have never been higher. As AI systems race ahead, so do the risks—exposing sensitive data in ways most current tech simply isn’t built to defend. Enter the “zero trust” philosophy: a world where blockchain’s decentralized backbone eliminates the need for faith in third-party APIs, external hosts, or shadowy identity layers. In this episode, Jesse unpacks why trustless, decentralized systems are essential as AI moves into high-stakes territory—from medical diagnostics to supply chain risk management and data-sensitive language models. We’ll explore whether true AI-on-blockchain is finally within reach, or if the real magic happens when AI’s reasoning power teams up with blockchain’s immutable ledgers, leveraging oracles and agentic systems to keep data secure. Jesse shares his journey to DecideAI, the company’s vision for a safer, smarter digital future, and which blockchains are best suited for this next frontier.

Imagine if verifying you’re human online didn’t mean giving up your privacy—or your entire transaction history. Today, blockchain’s biggest paradox is that while it promises trustless systems, it often leaves identities and wallets wide open, exposing users to everything from Sybil attacks to airdrop hunters. On platforms like Base, the Coinbase-backed Ethereum Layer 2 now outpacing Solana in daily transactions, the need for real, private user verification has never been greater. Enter Human Passport —formerly Gitcoin Passport—and its co-founder, Kyle Weiss . Their mission?

Beyond the Singularity: Anders Indset’s Guide to Staying Human 31:19

۷ weeks پیش31:19

31:19

Anders Indset is a philosopher for the digital age—a renowned author, business thinker, and trusted advisor to leaders navigating the complexities of tomorrow. With his latest book, "The Singularity Paradox: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and AI," Anders delivers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most pressing questions of our era: How do we reconcile rapid technological advancement with our deepest human values? Anders’ journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. Originally from Norway and now based in Germany, he has become a sought-after voice on the global stage, known for blending European philosophical tradition with sharp insights into technology, leadership, and the future of society. His previous works, including "Quantenwirtschaft" and "Wild Knowledge," have challenged readers to rethink economics, innovation, and the meaning of progress. In "The Singularity Paradox," Anders takes on the accelerating convergence of artificial intelligence and human life. He argues that while the singularity—the point at which AI surpasses human intelligence—offers unprecedented opportunities, it also presents profound risks and ethical dilemmas. Anders doesn’t see this as a distant sci-fi scenario, but as a present-day challenge demanding urgent reflection and action. His central philosophy is that technology must serve humanity, not the other way around. Anders calls for a new "philosophy of practical wisdom," urging us to cultivate what he terms "enlightened pragmatism." This means embracing innovation while remaining grounded in empathy, ethics, and the timeless quest for meaning. He warns against the dangers of technological determinism and advocates for what he calls "Homo obsoletus"—a recognition that our own obsolescence is only a risk if we fail to adapt, learn, and lead with purpose. Anders’ writing is both poetic and pragmatic, weaving together insights from philosophy, science, and business. He challenges leaders to bridge the gap between digital transformation and human flourishing, to ask not just what we can do with AI, but what we should do. His vision is one where technology amplifies our humanity, rather than diminishes it. As we stand on the threshold of the AI era, "The Singularity Paradox" is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of this new world with wisdom, courage, and hope. Anders Indset reminds us that the future is not something that simply happens to us—it is something we have the power, and the responsibility, to shape.

Imagine a world where every street in a city speaks a different language, uses a different currency, and has its own quirky set of toll booths. Welcome to the current state of blockchain—a sprawling metropolis of over 1,000 networks and 16 million cryptocurrencies, most of them abandoned vehicles rusting by the curb. Navigating this chaotic landscape is like weaving through Manhattan traffic before congestion pricing—confusing, slow, and full of unexpected detours. Now, enter the cross-chain bridges—the overworked translators of this digital city. Some are robust, handling dozens of chains and hundreds of tokens; others, well, let’s just say their “security audits” might have been written in Comic Sans. It’s a mess, and the stakes are high. But what if there was a better way? What if we could bypass the traffic, break down the barriers, and create a blockchain city where everyone speaks the same language, and trust isn’t just a buzzword? That’s where today’s guest steps in. Meet Grigore Roșu : former NASA engineer, professor of computer science at the University of Illinois, and the brilliant mind behind the K Framework—a true “Rosetta Stone” for programming languages. As a day-one contributor to Ethereum and the founder of Runtime Verification, Grigore has spent his career making the digital world safer and smarter. Now, as Founder & CEO of Pi Squared, he’s tackling blockchain’s biggest challenge: interoperability without compromise. In this episode, we’ll dive into Grigore’s fascinating journey from NASA to Web3, explore how Pi Squared is building the missing trust layer for a truly modular and interoperable blockchain ecosystem, and ask the big questions: Do we really need all these L2s? What’s the future of AI agents on-chain? And can we finally achieve seamless, verifiable cross-chain computation—without bridges or centralized middlemen? If you’re a developer, crypto enthusiast, or just love a good story about solving impossible problems, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Get ready to rethink what’s possible in Web3—because with Grigore Roșu and Pi Squared, the road ahead just got a whole lot smoother. Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!

With a strong technical foundation—graduating from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and earning a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification—Sunny spent nearly two decades in senior IT roles at Fortune 500 companies, including Bacardi, 3M, and most notably Louis Vuitton, where he served as CIO. It was at Louis Vuitton that Sunny first encountered the complexities of global supply chains and the limitations of traditional data tracking. His leadership on the “Track and Trace” project inspired him to imagine a blockchain-powered platform that could provide transparency, trust, and efficiency across industries, not just within a single enterprise. Sunny’s fascination with Bitcoin and blockchain technology grew from curiosity to conviction as he realized their potential to solve real business problems. In 2015, he founded VeChain, initially building on Ethereum after a pivotal conversation with Vitalik Buterin. Under Sunny’s leadership, VeChain has evolved into a leading enterprise-grade blockchain, recognized for its unique two-token model, advanced Proof-of-Authority consensus, and a robust ecosystem of real-world applications. VeChain’s platform now powers solutions for global brands like Walmart China, BMW, and DNV, and is endorsed by major investors and even Chinese regulatory bodies. What sets Sunny apart is his ability to bridge technology and business. He is a vocal advocate for mass adoption, usability, and sustainability in blockchain. His latest vision is nothing short of transformative: tokenizing human behavior itself. Through initiatives like VeBetterDAO and partnerships with companies like Tesla, VeChain is now rewarding users for sustainable actions—such as recycling or driving electric vehicles—by turning these behaviors into measurable, on-chain assets. This approach not only incentivizes positive change but also democratizes access to blockchain’s benefits for everyday users, aided by AI-powered agents that make participation seamless and intuitive. Sunny’s expertise spans information systems, digital innovation, enterprise strategy, and the practical deployment of blockchain at scale. As VeChain enters its second decade, with milestones like the VeChain Renaissance upgrade and a roadmap toward onboarding a billion users, Sunny Lu’s foundational work continues to redefine what’s possible for crypto, supply chains, and the future of sustainable business. In essence, Sunny Lu is not just building technology—he’s architecting a more transparent, efficient, and sustainable digital economy, making him a foundational figure in the evolution of blockchain and Web3.

Toronto, Canada – Consensus 2025: Bill Lakeland is a trailblazer at the intersection of aerial technology and next-generation mapping. As the CEO and co-founder of Spexi, Bill has built his reputation on a passion for democratizing access to high-resolution, real-time geospatial data—empowering drone enthusiasts and professionals alike to help map the world in unprecedented detail. Bill’s journey began with a fascination for how technology can transform our understanding of the physical world.

Under Bill’s leadership, Spexi has become a pioneering force in the drone industry. The company’s platform enables anyone with a drone to contribute to a living, breathing map of the planet. By leveraging cutting-edge cloud processing, AI-powered image stitching, and a user-friendly interface, Spexi turns thousands of individual drone flights into seamless, high-definition maps and 3D models. This technology is already revolutionizing industries from construction and agriculture to environmental monitoring and disaster response. What sets Bill apart is his vision for a truly decentralized, crowdsourced approach to mapping. He believes that by empowering a global community of drone pilots, we can create the most accurate, up-to-date, and accessible map of the world—one that benefits everyone, from city planners and first responders to everyday explorers. Bill is also a vocal advocate for responsible drone use, championing privacy, safety, and environmental stewardship as core values at Spexi. Looking to the future, Bill and the Spexi team are exploring how advancements in AI, edge computing, and real-time data sharing can make drone mapping even more powerful and accessible. Their goal: to make it as easy to update the world’s map as it is to post a photo online, unlocking new possibilities for innovation, collaboration, and discovery. In summary, Bill Lakeland is not just leading a company—he’s inspiring a movement. By harnessing the collective power of drone enthusiasts worldwide, Spexi is helping to map the world in HD, one flight at a time, and Bill’s visionary leadership is charting the course for a smarter, more connected planet.

Today we focus on migration and technology, and the people caught in the middle. My guest, Petra Molnar, has written: The Walls Have Eyes: Surviving Migration in the Age of Artificial Intelligence offers a global story of the sharpening of borders through technological experiments while also introducing strategies of togetherness across physical and ideological borders. Based on years of researching borderlands across the world, lawyer and anthropologist Petra Molnar’s The Walls Have Eyes is a truly global story—a dystopian vision turned reality, where your body is your passport and matters of life and death are determined by algorithm. Examining how technology is being deployed by governments on the world’s most vulnerable with little regulation, Molnar also shows us how borders are now big business, with defense contractors and tech start-ups alike scrambling to capture this highly profitable market.
