    The New American Surveillance State | Byron Tau

    The New American Surveillance State | Byron Tau

    ✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode:
    https://www.bankless.com/debrief-the-byron-tau-interview 

    ------
    Are we being watched?

    That’s the question we ask Byron Tau, an investigative journalist and author of “Means of Control'' that covers all about the US surveillance state.

    Turns out the US Government has a digital dossier of every citizen, but how? How do they collect the data? How are they using it? Can we ever get back our digital privacy?

    Expect to learn all that and much more in what is a deep dive into digital surveillance.

    Autonomous Worlds | Lattice’s Justin Glibert

    Autonomous Worlds | Lattice’s Justin Glibert

    In today’s episode, we’re exploring the frontier of onchain universes, on Ethereum.
    Autonomous Worlds is the new frontier of digital onchain universes, being pioneered by the Lattice team, of which Justin Glibert on the show today is the co-founder and CEO.
    Ethereum is not just a financial computer, but a root of state for an infinite number of universes, all with their own laws of physics, objects, players, agents, and state… and, like our universe, still continues with, or without, our presence.
    Justin walks us through the evolution of Autonomous Worlds. Get ready because you're going to get a taste of where the Internet has always been pointing towards… it just took us a while to get here.
