Summary
ATX DAO OG and founding podcast host Nick Casares returns for a wide-ranging conversation about how generative AI is reshaping creativity, startups, and the future of work. Drawing from his experience in early-stage investing and product development, Nick breaks down how new tools are enabling solo founders and small teams to move faster than ever. The crew debates whether AI tools make us lazy or unlock new layers of human potential, and where the next billion-dollar ideas are likely to emerge.
From vibe coding to agentic systems, from the death of UI to the blurred lines between centralized and decentralized infrastructure, this episode covers the philosophical and practical shifts happening right now. If you’ve been wondering what happens when junior roles disappear, or how creative thinkers can win in a world dominated by machines, this one’s for you.
