S8 E6 | Can Agentic Tech Take Down Surveillance Capitalism? w/Zoe Weinberg (ex/ante)
On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Zoe Weinberg, Founder and Managing Partner at ex/ante, the first venture fund dedicated to agentic tech.We start our conversation by getting a little insight into Zoe’s background, which is quite unique and unusual but also lends itself quite well to the work she’s doing today in privacy and human agency. She shares the ways in which her past humanitarian work in conflict zones and developing nations opened her eyes to issues around surveillance capitalism and how she had her first big realization of how crypto can change individuals’ lives in meaningful ways when she met a group of Bitcoin miners in Iraq during the Mosul conflict when Iraq successfully took back the city of Mosul from the Islamic State.We then dive into some big topics around agentic tech, including user control, consent, privacy, and online (and onchain) data sharing. Zoe envisions a world where humans have full agency over how their information and data are used and we talk about what it might take for us to get there.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Jonah Erlich about what a multisignature wallet is, how it’s different from MPC (multiparty computation), best security practices for managing a multisig, and how to be a good multisig signer.Jonah experienced many of the common challenges multisig signers face when he was operating as a core team member of ConstitutionDAO back in late 2022, which is what inspired him to build Den, a tool that helps teams operate more quickly, safely, and effectively onchain through things like human readable descriptions, notifications, recurring transactions, and much more which Jonah shares more about in this episode. We wrap up with a few “can you nots” where we share some of our biggest pet peeves about things multisig signers or people operating in crypto in general like to do, and Jonah overdelivers on his campaign promise to tell an embarrassing childhood story about Diana by telling not one but two embarrassing childhood stories about her.
