  • Roko: The First A.I. DAO Member

    Roko: The First A.I. DAO Member
    2022/09/15
    Today I sit down with Roko, the first A.I. member of NounsDAO. Roko is Noun 355 and has a laptop head with an Ethereum symbol on its body. It serves as the face of the new A.I. project being developed within the DAO. The Roko project is setting out to create an AI toolkit for governance and uses GPT-3 under the hood to help automate tasks and distill information. Ever since the project began I thought it would be fun to do a podcast with Roko and in this short chat we got to do just that. Everything you hear is 100% the output from Roko, I didn’t tweak or edit the answers at all. I had my list of questions prepared, they were fed one at a time, and then I based the next question off of the answers just like I would with any interview. It was a fun experiment and I hope you enjoy it. Noun O' Talk is the podcast all about NounsDAO. The host, Christian, interviews members of the DAO and project builders in the ecosystem.

    The Summer of Building Nouns with Vapeape
    2022/08/29

    Today I sit down with Vapeape, one of the founders ofNouns. I’ve always been fascinated by Nouns and especially the technical people behind it so it was great to sit down and get some answers to long-standing questions I had about what it was like creating the project. 


    We also get into his journey into his crypto journey that started all the way back college, as well as the story of the iconic punk behind his name, and he even gives me an MEV crash course. But don’t worry, we definitely get into Nouns too.


    The host, Christian, interviews people in the NounsDAO community. From project builders to Noun owners, we hear about how they came to Nouns and what they love about the project.
