MACHINES Use BITCOIN: How AI-to-AI Payments Are Already HERE - Jim Carucci

Jim Carucci discusses the intersection of Bitcoin and AI, exploring the tension between monolithic AI models controlled by big tech and open-source alternatives like DeepSeek. He explains how his company Cascade.or builds AI agents that can pay each other using Bitcoin, including their podcast tool "Pull That Up Jamie" and legal solution Clara AI. The conversation covers privacy concerns with AI, the importance of end-to-end encryption, and how a machine payable web might evolve. Jim argues that Bitcoin serves as the ideal money for AI systems due to its censorship resistance and global reach.
