BAES 71: The unhinged AI agent that just became a millionaire
The most fascinating story to come out of the internet and artificial intelligence is unfolding faster than we can keep up with it. A semi-autonomous AI agent became obsessed with an old shock meme and created its own religion, which then collided head-on with the crypto world in ways nobody expected. And it spawned a whole new chaotic category of tokenization: AI memecoins. It sounds stupid (and it is), but the implications and rabbit holes that have opened up go far further than you might think at first blush. Plus these AI agents are BITCHY!Leave a comment to be featured as the comment of the week next week!And also, like this video, please!

BAES 69: Longshoremen Victory
The longshoremen union and the UMX came to a temporary agreement recently but it only kicked the can to January...and it's not looking good. It's not just about money; it's one of the first major battles in the coming war between workers and automation. We'll explain why it's not so simple.PLUS we've got some Harvard nerds who figured out one of the worst use cases for the new $META smart glasses, and a poor Canadian sap who made $306 million dollars and then lost it all. What a week. What an episode.HUGE shout out to Kyla Scanlon and her article on the Longshoremen strike, which you can check out here: https://kyla.substack.com/p/the-biggest-man-made-disaster-ever?r=1lckxb&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=trueLeave a comment to be featured as the comment of the week next week!
