The Net Society crew dives into the headline-grabbing showdown between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, unpacking what it reveals about power, influence, and the shifting relationship between Silicon Valley and Washington. They explore whether tech leaders are now more powerful than governments and what a “Valley-backed” political realignment could look like. From there, the conversation shifts to ADIN, Tribute Labs new AI-powered investment tool, and how it represents the dawn of algorithmic venture capital. They break down the architecture behind ADIN’s autonomous agents, why Moneyball is the perfect analogy for the future of private markets, and how AI might soon outperform traditional investors. The episode closes with a look at the Circle IPO, the ETH finance landscape, PolyMarket’s deal with X, and a final sidestep into coaching changes and playoff narratives from the world of sports.
