Where Does Crypto Meet AI? w/ Gerrit Hall and Taariq Lewis
This week, Rex talks with Taariq of Seren and Gerrit Hall of FirePan about what happens when AI starts compressing the cost of software, changing how knowledge work gets valued, and pushing crypto primitives like stablecoins back into focus. The conversation moves from big-picture questions about salary pressure, tokenized incentives, and agentic commerce into a grounded debate about whether software really goes to zero — and what AI means for the future of DeFi security. It’s a wide-ranging episode on bubbles, business models, and why the next wave of AI may matter less for chatbots than for how work, money, and software get organized.
