Silicon & Sparks: The Energy Cost of Crypto & AI (Part 1 of 2)
Welcome back, folks. This week, we’re plunging headfirst into the digital abyss. We’re exploring two of the most powerful and perplexing technologies of our time: the seemingly unstoppable rise of cryptocurrency and the paradigm-shifting potential of artificial intelligence. Are these forces of innovation our inevitable salvation, or are they setting the stage for a global disaster? We’re going to pull back the curtain on what they actually are, dissect their mind-boggling energy consumption, and ask the million-dollar question: Could this entire mess spark a new energy revolution, or are we just creating a really confident-sounding technocracy? Join your co-hosts, Joshua and Will, as they unravel the complex relationship between code, energy, and the future. We promise not to think for you, but we will give you the tools you need to reach your own conclusions.

Ever hired someone and immediately regretted it?

This week on The Overlap, Joshua and Will are building (theoretically) a decentralized, no-trust-model-built-on-trust that could save you from scammers, streamline everything from moving to dating, and maybe even fix the economy.

We’re talking about ditching the recipe book (being a “cook”) and learning to understand the fundamental ingredients of reality (being a “chef”).

Its decision could dramatically impact how Trump’s policies are applied across the U.S.

Okay, the dream of no alarm clocks and endless free stuff is great. But how do you actually run a planet when cash is obsolete? On Resource Based Economy Part 2, we're ditching the fantasy (a little) and diving into the practical, occasionally dry, mechanisms of a RBE.

This administration's latest executive order is union busting, pure and simple. Our collective bargaining rights are fundamental to carrying out our critical role as patient advocates.

Nurses stand by our patients. We will not be silenced or abandon our duties to our veterans.

Few people know 230 as well as Mike
Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta.

Why?

It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.
It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.
