My guest for this episode is Anatoly Yakovenko. He is a computer engineer with two decades of experience, mostly at Qualcomm, working on high-performance operating systems and chips. Most recently he used that experience to build a high performance blockchain, called Solana. Known for its speed and energy efficiency, Solana is one of the fastest growing ecosystems in blockchain. He's a very interesting guy. Super excited to have him here.

Pindar is trying to capture his creative process as code, in the form of a painting AI robot. Not just AI software that generates digital images. I'm talking about a physical robot, that holds a brush, dips it into paint, and creates its' own painting. He works with robotics and artificial intelligence. He worked on self driving cars back in the early days of the DAARPA Grand Challenge. Recently he's been experimenting with combining quantum processors and painting. This is an exciting episode!

In this episode I have Philipp Adrian. Philipp is the CTO of a blockchain search engine project that my brother and I started called, Playdust.com. Make sure you don't miss the end of this episode where we talk about what we're building and why we think it's so important for the blockchain space.  Today Philipp and I will discuss NFTs, a lot of the concerns around NFTs and their potential, what excites us about blockchain, why ownership is important, how it's changing the internet, and decentralization.  And next week I'm going to have Anatoly Yakovenko, the founder of Solana, which is one of the top layer 1 blockchains in the world. They are number 1 in transaction volume, number one in NFT sales volume. So, make sure you subscribe to this podcast to not miss next week's episode.  "Ownership is a fundamental human need.
