Ep63 A Million Lines of Lifestyle Code

What this episode covers

This week on Net Society, the crew record from the West Coast and reflect on how San Francisco feels like an early AI boomtown, from Waymo becoming mundane to builders everywhere working on something new. The conversation moves through prediction markets, regulation, and why AI adoption is still largely top-down, before widening into self-hosting, homegrown software, and what automation could look like inside the home. From Apple’s strategic positioning and embodied AI to Davos signaling a global shift around AI, crypto, and labor, the episode closes with a candid discussion on the shutdown of Farcaster, the limits of Web3 social v1, and what a more mature version of decentralized social might become next.Mentioned in the episodeFSD Insurance Discounts https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/2013998338790535320?s=20Ralph Wiggum Claude Code https://x.com/hackerrank/status/2013936125107450280?s=20Farcaster sells to Neynar https://x.com/dwr/status/2014045233189888483?s=20Show & HostsNet Society: https://x.com/net__societyAaron Wright: https://x.com/awrigh01Chris F: https://x.com/ChrisF_0xDerek Edwards: https://x.com/derekedwsPriyanka Desai: https://x.com/pridesaiProduction & MarketingEditor: https://x.com/0xFnklSocial: https://x.com/v_kirra(00:00) - Prediction Markets and Regulation (03:23) - Waymo, Self-Driving, and the West Coast Gap (07:54) - San Francisco as an AI Boomtown (14:20) - Self-Hosting, Homegrown Software, and Automation (24:27) - Apple, AI, and the Future of Devices (33:08) - Davos, AI Adoption, and Global Power Shifts (41:20) - Web3 Social, Farcaster, and the End of V1 (01:00:22) - Welcome & Disclaimer
