<p>Can we go Bankless using PayPal? We brought on Jose Fernandez da Ponte, the Senior Vice President of Blockchain, Crypto, and Digital Currencies at PayPal and Venmo to help us answer that question. Jose is responsible for driving PayPal’s efforts to bring the utility of crypto-assets and crypto-networks to their hundreds of millions of global consumers. </p> <p>He also knows a thing or two about how the banking system works and how to fix it. And we also got the SVP of PayPal to say, “DeFi Mullet,” not once, but three times. </p> <p>*PayPal currently offers crypto services only in the U.S., U.K., and Luxembourg. Venmo is available in the US only.</p> <p>------<br /> ✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the episode: <br /> <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/debrief-jose-paypal">https://www.bankless.com/debrief-jose-paypal</a> </p> <p>------<br /> 🚀 Unlock $1,000+ in Perks with Bankless Citizenship 🚀<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/GetThePerks">https://bankless.cc/GetThePerks</a> </p> <p>------<br /> In today’s episode, we cover: </p> <p>1) What PayPal sees in crypto <br /> 2) What PayPal’s 400M accounts can do with crypto today <br /> 3) How we get to $1T in stablecoins<br /> 4) What’s the role of CDBCs in a world of highly successful stablecoins?

<p>AI is exploding into every facet of the internet. The convergence of Crypto and AI is inevitable, and we bring on Qiao Wang and Mohamed Fouda to discuss the opportunities and challenges this presents.</p> <p>They explore why Web3 provides an interesting platform for AI, such as payment and execution rails for AI agents, easy access to financial tools, and the ability to commission resources permissionlessly. One example of this is AutoGPT, which uses AI to generate code for on-chain smart contracts.</p> <p>How do we balance caution and optimism?

But will we potentially become their pets instead?<br /> - The possibility of a civil war between multiple AIs and why it's more likely than being dominated by a single superintelligent AI.<br /> - Robin's concerns about the regulation of AI and why he believes it's a greater threat than AI itself.<br /> - A fascinating analogy: why Robin thinks alien civilizations might spread like cancer?<br /> - Finally, we dive into the world of crypto and explore Robin's views on this rapidly evolving technology.</p> <p>Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a crypto advocate, or just someone intrigued by the big-picture questions about humanity and its prospects, this episode is one you won't want to miss.</p> <p>------<br /> BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: </p> <p>⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum">https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum</a> </p> <p>🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/kraken">https://bankless.cc/kraken</a> </p> <p>🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/uniswap">https://bankless.cc/uniswap</a> </p> <p>👻 PHANTOM | FRIENDLY MULTICHAIN WALLET<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/phantom-waitlist">https://bankless.cc/phantom-waitlist</a> </p> <p>🦊METAMASK LEARN | HELPFUL WEB3 RESOURCE<br /> <a href= "https://bankless.cc/MetaMask">https://bankless.cc/MetaMask</a> </p> <p>------<br /> Topics Covered</p> <p>0:00 Intro<br /> 8:42 How Robin is Weird<br /> 10:00 Are We All Going to Die?<br /> 13:50 Eliezer’s Assumption <br /> 25:00 Intelligence, Humans, & Evolution <br /> 27:31 Eliezer Counter Point <br /> 32:00 Acceleration of Change <br /> 33:18 Comparing & Contrasting Eliezer’s Argument<br /> 35:45 A New Life Form<br /> 44:24 AI Improving Itself<br /> 47:04 Self Interested Acting Agent <br /> 49:56 Human Displacement? <br /> 55:56 Many AIs <br /> 1:00:18 Humans vs. Robots <br /> 1:04:14 Pause or Continue AI Innovation?<br /> 1:10:52 Quiet Civilization <br /> 1:14:28 Grabby Aliens <br /> 1:19:55 Are Humans Grabby?<br /> 1:27:29 Grabby Aliens Explained <br /> 1:36:16 Cancer <br /> 1:40:00 Robin’s Thoughts on Crypto <br /> 1:42:20 Closing & Disclaimers </p> <p>------<br /> Resources:</p> <p>Robin Hanson<br /> <a href= "https://twitter.com/robinhanson">https://twitter.com/robinhanson</a> </p> <p>Eliezer Yudkowsky on Bankless<br /> <a href= "https://www.bankless.com/159-were-all-gonna-die-with-eliezer-yudkowsky"> https://www.bankless.com/159-were-all-gonna-die-with-eliezer-yudkowsky</a> </p> <p>What is the AI FOOM debate?<br /> <a href= "https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/the-hanson-yudkowsky-ai-foom-debate"> https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/the-hanson-yudkowsky-ai-foom-debate</a> </p> <p>Age of Em book - Robin Hanson<br /> <a href="https://ageofem.com/">https://ageofem.com/</a> </p> <p>Grabby Aliens<br /> <a href= "https://grabbyaliens.com/">https://grabbyaliens.com/</a> </p> <p>Kurzgesagt video<br /> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDSf2h9_39I&t=1s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDSf2h9_39I&t=1s</a> </p> <p>--

Formerly a Product Lead at Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat, Sriram has seen basically everything there is to see in the world of Web2, and especially Web2 social.

<p>There are bank runs and also rumors of more bank runs on the horizon. One side says, “the banks are insolvent, get to the lifeboats.” Another side says, “the banks are going to be fine…we’re sick and tired of doomers pulling the fire alarm.” Who’s right?</p> <p>This is our third episode in a series of conversations. To get the full debate you’ll need to listen to the last two episodes with Balaji Srinivasan and Arthur Hayes.</p> <p>In this episode, we’re speaking with Ben Hunt who lays out the counterpoint details on why banks are going to be fine. He believes Balaji and Arthur are dangerously wrong.
