Episode Summary
A weekly live show covering all things Freedom Tech with Max, Q and Seth.In this episode, Max chats with Seth for a wide-ranging catch-up on the state of open source and local AI following his visit to the Open Source AI Summit in San Francisco. They talked about why AI feels so energising compared with the slower pace of Bitcoin development, how local and open models are rapidly improving, and why more people in the freedom tech world need to pay attention. Seth shared his view that we are already close to a point where self-hosted AI is practical for everyday use, with the right hardware, and explained the trade-offs between speed, intelligence and cost when choosing a setup.Max and Seth also dug into what it means to treat AI like “self-custody for intelligence", keeping your data private, running tools locally, and avoiding dependence on closed platforms that can limit, monitor or shape your usage. Along the way, they covered how AI can help with everything from infrastructure and creative work to family life and productivity, as well as the risks around surveillance, security and misuse. Max and Seth closed by looking at the idea of “resonant computing”, a vision for technology that is private, adaptable and built to serve people rather than exploit them.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools DONATE TO THE FAMILIES w/ USD ----> https://www.givesendgo.com/billandkeonneDONATE TO THE FAMILIES w/ BTC ----> https://pay.zaprite.com/pl_JpxtkLv95T SUPPORT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ---> https://billandkeonne.org/TO DONATE TO ROMAN'S DEFENSE FUND: https://freeromanstorm.com/donateVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ungovernable- BUY SOME STICKERS @ https://ungovernable.network/shop/FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today’s tech conglomerates.
