Who decides what information we can trust in an increasingly AI-driven world?
In this episode of Crypto Hipster, host Jamil Hasan welcomes back Billy Luedtke, founder of Intuition, for a thought-provoking conversation about decentralized identity, information ownership, reputation, accountability, and the future of the internet.
Billy's journey began in distributed seismic networks at Caltech before taking him into financial technology consulting, early cryptocurrency adoption, Ethereum, and Consensys. His experiences ultimately led him to establish Intuition, a project dedicated to rethinking how people discover information and determine whom to trust.
Together, Jamil and Billy explore why today's internet prioritizes attention over truth, how centralized algorithms influence what people see, and whether decentralized networks can restore individual control over information.
Their conversation moves beyond technology into fundamental questions about human behavior, economic incentives, and responsibility.
Can information be popular without being true? Can financial incentives improve trustworthiness? And can decentralized accountability help solve some of the greatest challenges facing artificial intelligence?
Billy also speaks candidly about the difficulties of entrepreneurship, the importance of building sustainable applications, and the moment a founder transitions from creator to steward.
The episode concludes with a look twenty years into the future, when today's attention-driven relationship with technology may seem almost unimaginable.
