Small Time Bets: The Only Annual Podcast Feb 05, 2022
74. 2024 Predictions
Trailer for “Tech Back Control”
This is the trailer and episode 0 for “Tech Back Control”, a podcast about taking back control from technology, using technology.
We're entering into an era where generational disruptions in technology have the potential to shift power back into the hands of the people and the planet. AI is giving super powers to the masses; open digital money is uprooting the legacy financial system; the 3rd iteration of the web means an internet run by the people, for the people; and a 4th industrial revolution might help us make food, buildings and everything without killing the planet at the same time. There's some hope hiding in plain sight and I'm going on a journey to find and explore it.

71. This thing drives itself
Tech is down and crypto is up as rates rise in the US and UK. But 0.75% has different meanings on either side of the Atlantic in our market update.
Then this week we go deep on autonomous vehicles because suddenly everyone’s a critic. Triggered by a harmless TechCrunch article.
This Week in Crypto looks at Meta’s embrace of arweave for NFTs on Insta; and in NFTs we cover the Meebits MB1.1 relaunch, clarify which NFT projects survive, and make sense of Art Gobblers.
And FYI we’re going dark for a month, so stay warm.

70. Go with your gut
Transhumanism is this week’s topic, it mostly means modding your body. We consider some examples and impacts.
This Week in Crypto we look at what internet infrastructure web3 might decentralise, but then ask why and how, but also again why?
And in NFTs this week we are impressed by Reddit doing a much more successful NFT bubble within the collapsed bubble of the current bear market.
