Here is my conversation with Michael Bentley, cofounder/ceo of Euler. This was a somewhat philosophical conversation about the history of defi, credit, mechanism design, Michael's phd thesis on natural selection, and more. I think Michael is a brilliant human being and I'm very happy we got to do this together. Hope you enjoy. intothebytecode.com/48-michael-bentley

Another one of the yin/yangs with crypto and ai: Building with smart contracts is all about precision - you define rules that are to be executed exactly, everything is deterministic Building with LLMs is all about vibes - you define goals/guardrails and give the model freedom within them, everything is non-deterministic

2024 was the first year we started working on Gitwallet. It’s been a year full of listening, learning, and experimentation. We shipped a TON of product and helped hundreds of developers set up shop on their path to independence. Fun fact: that name came from an idea to create “an ethereum wallet for every repo”. The product changed but the name stuck (for now 😉)
