In this first episode we introduce The Post Web Audio-Documentary, a series exploring our exciting new thesis, based on hundreds of conversations with Web3's leading founders, exploring the convergence of Crypto x AI.

In this episode, Jamie Burke, Chairman and Founder of Outlier Ventures, discusses what's next after a decade of Web3.

We introduce the idea that it is so transformational that it isn't Web4 or Web5, but in fact The Post Web.

Where Web1 gave us [Read], Web2 [Write], Web3 [Own], The Post Web means we can now [Delegate] ever more of our lives to agents that will live, work and coordinate on blockchains.

This will dramatically reduce our experience of the Web from the death of Search, to interruptive advertising and even websites and applications, flipping us from The Attention Economy to The Intention Economy; a highly contextual, deterministic yet adaptive, verifiable machine optimized internet.

In today’s episode of The Metaverse Podcast, we host Jake Brukhman, Founder & CEO at CoinFund, one of the first Web3 funds (established in 2015) to champion leaders of the new internet.

We discuss their new $550M fund, its thesis and their recent investment into Worldcoin;

exploring decentralized identity and why they believe its founders and their approach to 'proof of personhood' is how it could be solved at scale.

Jake addresses some key criticisms levelled at Worldcoin openly and frankly including; their use and storage of biometric data, degrees of current centralization, the possibility of state capture, their proposed pathway to decentralisation and why we should trust Sam Altman and his investors, including Coinfund, to get there.

We critique if Worldcoin is truly proposing UBI as a use case, what would actually need to happen for that to be realised at scale, or the possibility it's a more cynical go-to-market strategy. We break down $WLD tokenomics, governance compared to industry standards and debate Sam's commitment to Web3 principles, based on track record at Open AI.

We would particularly like to thank @ourielohayon and @DrNickA for the questions!

Here is the link to the video referenced showing how biometrics can be bypassed with a simple mobile pin.

• Audio voice cloning executed using play.ht Studio
• Video crafted by the team at FakeTime.ai (watch the video on YouTube)

Experience the remarkable possibilities of AI tools firsthand by diving into today's episode – and brace yourself, because we're only scratching the surface of what's to come!

*Disclaimer: This episode is an experiment designed to explore the capabilities of artificial intelligence tools, even in their nascent stages.
