| 0:00.0 | Welcome Bankless Nation to the AI Roll Up, where we cover the weekly news in the AI industry. |
| 0:08.0 | AI is accelerating us into a weirder and more chaotic future, and we are here to help you keep up with the future that's hurtling towards us. |
| 0:15.0 | We're trying out a different format this week because the crypto AI industry is pretty dormant, while the Silicon Valley AI industry is only getting |
| 0:22.4 | hotter. So me and Jaws are bringing in a third commentator, Josh Kale, who's done a couple |
| 0:26.8 | episodes with me on Bankless before, all about Frontier Technology and who we are tapping in |
| 0:31.4 | to help us go through the AI news this week. Jaws, Josh, how are you guys doing? |
| 0:36.7 | I mean, I'm, yeah, I'm feeling good. It's awesome to have Josh. Josh, how are you guys doing? I mean, I'm, yeah, I'm feeling good. |
| 0:39.5 | It's awesome to have Josh. |
| 0:41.5 | Though I can't really get rid of the, yeah, the $10 trillion wiped out of the stock |
| 0:46.9 | market this week. |
| 0:48.2 | Thanks to Trump's wonderful Liberation Day tariffs, which is, in my opinion, obliterated any kind of |

| 1:08.5 | that's like chat GPT, Claude, whatever. You know, can you create a basic |
| 1:12.7 | tariff formula? You get essentially what the US announced for their tariffs across every |
| 1:18.2 | single country. So it's just insane. It's pretty hard to get away from talking about tariffs |
| 1:24.0 | this week just because everyone is just looking at the market, looking at tariffs, tariffs, tariffs, tariffs. |
| 1:28.5 | But I'm pretty glad that we are also going to focus on AI, which I think we're all pretty |
| 1:32.8 | stoked about. Josh, it's good to have you on the AI roll up this week, my man. |
| 1:36.6 | It's great to be here. Yeah, thanks for having me. I'm excited to talk about this stuff. |
| 1:39.4 | The funny thing about what EJAS just said is the way that we found out they used AI is actually by using |
