In this episode, we bring back listener favorite, Billy Luedtke, founder of Intuition. Billy received votes from 113 unique wallets in this season's all-stars contest, which is the highest number of unique wallets to vote for a single nominee in Rehash history. Billy shares updates on Intuition since his last appearance in August 2023, in particular highlighting how the platform has evolved from a concept to a publicly accessible product. We also dive deep into the core concepts of Intuition such as atoms, triples, and signals, and the novel economic incentives for data creation. Lastly, we explore the broader implications of AI, potential dystopian futures, and the philosophical questions around trust, truth, and identity.
