<p>Rob Hamilton spent the last six weeks on the front line of the AI War, this is his story.</p><p><br></p><p>Casey Rodarmor and Erin Redwing sit down with Rob Hamilton (CEO of AnchorWatch, CEO of Bitcoin), to talk about what happened when AI started tearing through the Bitcoin ecosystem. He explains how Kimi K3 surfaced the COLDCARD entropy vulnerability while American frontier models hedged, downgraded, or refused; how the Bitcoin Red Team began scanning codebases across the ecosystem; and why he expects the next year or two of software security to get significantly crazier.</p><p><br></p><p>We also get into Casey’s theory that AI gives ordinary people “Mossad-level” security research, whether “don’t trust, verify” survives the AI era, why Rob thinks covenants and reactive security deserve another serious look, the growing divide between American and Chinese AI models, and the coming attempt to make math illegal.</p><p><br></p><p>Rob&#39;s conclusion, after everything he&#39;s been through: Bitcoin is getting hit first, but AI is coming for everyone.</p><p><br></p><p>Get bonus content by subscribing to @hellmoneypod on X:https://x.com/hellmoneypod/creator-subscriptions/subscribe</p><p><br></p><p>Or support the podcast by sending a BTC donation:bc1qztncp7lmcxdgude4px2vzh72p2yu2aud0eyzys</p><p><br></p><p>ORDINALS SHIRT:https://shop.inscribing.com/products/ordinals-protocol-shirt</p><p><br></p><p>Rob Hamilton: https://x.com/Rob1HamAnchorWatch: https://www.anchorwatch.com/</p><p><br></p><p>TIMESTAMPS</p><p>0:00 Intro &amp; Bitcoin DEFCON Level</p><p>3:24 How Rob was recruited to the AI War</p><p>5:53 Kimi K3 changed everything</p><p>7:50 COLDCARD Hack</p><p>12:00 Red Teaming the Bitcoin Ecosystem with AI</p><p>21:13 AI Security as Spiritual War: Demons in Bitcoin&#39;s Code</p><p>24:07 The AI Great Oxygenation Event</p><p>26:30 The Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect</p><p>33:06 Collapse of the Internet Ad Revenue Model</p><p>35:06 Transhumanism</p><p>37:30 Red Teaming</p><p>42:00 Rob&#39;s Conscription to the AI War</p><p>46:52 AI Attack vs Defense</p><p>51:22 Rob is now a Bitcoin Core Contributor</p><p>54:56 Don&#39;t Trust, Verify</p><p>57:36 Pleb vs Dev: Who dominates Bitcoin culture now?</p><p>1:01:11 Covenants &amp; Reactive Security</p><p>1:19:47 US vs China AI Models</p><p>1:27:35 Open Weight Models vs Frontier Labs</p><p>1:30:29 Math is Illegal</p><p>1:32:25 Raising Kids in the AI Era &amp; Outro</p>
