Marty and Aleks Svetski explore AI's reality as productivity tools rather than the path to AGI, examining the unsustainable economics behind large language models. They discuss Nostr's evolution beyond social media toward portable identity and why SatLantis pivoted to building a Bitcoin-native events platform. The conversation covers solving the cold start problem, creating new markets with Bitcoin and Nostr instead of replicating existing ones, and why second-generation Bitcoin companies should focus on real utility. They also dive into digital burnout, the shift toward meatspace connection, network effects, and why Bitcoin treasury companies miss the fundamental point of building actual businesses.
