OUT OF SCOPE Ep. 2: Anything But Crypto with David Hoffman

In this episode, Austin and Tori join David Hoffman (Bankless) to talk about "anything but crypto."

They also discuss social media, the future of long-form content, AI risk and alignment, what it means to “win” the AI race, regulatory uncertainty, and ... yes, David's ideas around fitness.
