Summary
This week on Net Society, the crew record from the West Coast and reflect on how San Francisco feels like an early AI boomtown, from Waymo becoming mundane to builders everywhere working on something new. The conversation moves through prediction markets, regulation, and why AI adoption is still largely top-down, before widening into self-hosting, homegrown software, and what automation could look like inside the home. From Apple’s strategic positioning and embodied AI to Davos signaling a global shift around AI, crypto, and labor, the episode closes with a candid discussion on the shutdown of Farcaster, the limits of Web3 social v1, and what a more mature version of decentralized social might become next.
