Polygon’s Endgame: Polygon 2.0 with Sandeep Nailwal & Mihailo Bjelic

Today on the show we welcome back Sandeep and Mihalo, the Co-Founders of Polygon.  Polygon is one of the most used chains in crypto. That in itself is a massive accomplishment. However, there’s been criticism of Polygon in the past, that it’s “just a sidechain.” That it’s not “Ethereum aligned.” The release of Polygon 2.0 will silence these critics.

Revolutionizing AI: Tackling the Alignment Problem | Zuzalu #3

In this episode, we delve into the frontier of AI and the challenges surrounding AI alignment. The AI / Crypto overlap at Zuzalu sparked discussions on topics like ZKML, MEV bots, and the integration of AI agents into the Ethereum landscape.  However, the focal point was the alignment conversation, which showcased both pessimistic and resigned optimistic perspectives. We hear from Nate Sores of MIRI, who offers a downstream view on AI risk, and Deger Turan, who emphasizes the importance of human alignment as a prerequisite for aligning AI. Their discussions touch on epistemology, individual preferences, and the potential of AI to assist in personal and societal growth. ------ 🚀 Join Ryan & David at Permissionless in September.
