Description

with @kevinrose @cdixon This wide-ranging discussion is a tour through tech trends and hot topics both within and beyond crypto – including art, AI, the evolution of mediums including blockchains; a deep dive on NFTs, artists, communities; debates around cc0, modding and copying in the digital age, royalties; plus role of brands, DAOs, creation by crowds; and much more. This is not just a tour through topics, though, but through places (NYC, SF, LA) and times as well: from long cycles in computing that take place every 15 years, to recent-past history and the transition from web2 to web3… as both guests have been a part of both movements: Chris Dixon, founding general partner at a16z crypto and former entrepreneur (and also occasional co-host on this podcast);Kevin Rose – who, among many other things, co-founded the social news site Digg in the early 2000s, and is now co-founder of Proof Collective (which launched Moonbirds PFPs, new DAO, and more). Are we at the end of (computing) history, or are we at the beginning of an "age of wonders"? You decide, but only after listening to this conversation. As a reminder, NONE of this is investment, business, legal, or tax advice -- nor is it directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund – also, please note that any a16z investments and portfolio companies mentioned are not representative of all a16z investments; you can see a16z.com/disclosures for more important information, including a link to a list of our investments.
