Alternatives to VC, Digital Governance and Public AI with Josh Tan
While at Devcon 2024 I spoke to Josh Tan, the founder of Metagov, a laboratory for digital governance and lead of DAOstar, a DAO standards body (that I have also been doing some work with as well).
We spoke about making democracy just as available as autocracy in digital systems, making alternatives to venture capital, and AI as collective intelligence. We also spoke a bit about the DAOIP-5 web3 grants metadata standard that I've been helping DAOstar with.

ICYMI I've written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.
The book is officially published and you use this linktree to find where you can purchase the book based on your region / country.
