Summary

In this episode of Blockchain Bylines, Nic Cary is joined by Shaw Walters, founder of Eliza Labs, to go deep into the chaotic and thrilling frontlines of the AI gold rush. From meme-shilling bots to life enhancing agents, Shaw has seen it all, and built the tools behind it. Forget abstract theory, this is what mass adoption actually looks like. Shaw unpacks why open-source matters more than ever, how crypto wallets are enabling a new class of autonomous AI, and what he expects (and fears) as AI rapidly evolves.
