Logan Jastremski Podcast

Paul Bohm, Founder of Teleport, discusses the potential impact of implementing an open protocol for ridesharing. They explore the importance of coordination systems, breaking the ridesharing monopolies, and the future of ridesharing. They also highlight why Solana was chosen as the technical solution for Teleport.

Ben Fielding and Harry Grieve, Co-Founders of Gensyn, discuss the race to scale GPU compute and the AI renaissance. They explore Gensyn's vision of a global supercluster accessible to anyone, the limitations of decentralized compute, the cost comparison between decentralized and traditional compute clusters, and the importance of owning your own AI. They also touch on the verification problem in decentralized systems and the impact of decentralization on the AI ecosystem.
