The Negative Influence of Social Media on Mental Health

On this extra special episode, the boys are joined by Jurij Jukic, developer at Portal, a sovereign social media platform that enables custom AI-assisted content curation and monetization. Together, the crew discusses the evils of social media, the power of data ownership, and how peer-to-peer networks unlock a new model of content discovery. All this plus a healthy dose of Urbit, whether or not Portal is getting Jurij laid, and a little too much information on our hosts' ears. Don't miss it.
