Ep. 31
Welcome back for Part 2! If you’re just joining us, be sure to listen to last week’s episode first.
This week on The Overlap, we’re diving deeper into the paradox of AI and crypto. We’ve established they’re incredibly energy-hungry, but could their massive consumption actually force us to innovate our way out of our energy problems? From the industrial revolution’s steam engine to the promise of nuclear fusion, we’ll explore historical parallels and future possibilities.
We’ll also tackle the dark side of this new tech: the volatility of crypto, the ethical minefield of AI, and the very real dangers of bias, misinformation, and lack of accountability. Is the need for more power the only thing that will push us toward a clean energy future, or does that path lead to a global scramble for resources and deepening inequality?
Join Joshua and Will as they navigate this technological trilemma of innovation, consumption, and responsibility. It’s a powerful conversation about the choices we’re making today that will determine our tomorrow.
