I've been using MetaMask since 2017, and we all remember buying NFTs with it in 2021.

And now, in 2026, if you haven't checked in on MetaMask recently, let me tell you.

You can trade tokenized stocks, funds, and commodities, along with leveraged perpetuals, prediction markets, and even, yes, you can gaseously swap between crypto tokens across networks too.

There's advanced security features like MEV and front-run protection, and even a debit card so you can actually spend your crypto directly at merchants all around the world.

And it's all self-custodial.

Everything you want to trade in one place.

This is the open money future we've all been waiting for.

Check out the new MetaMask.

It's already on your phone or in the link below.

There's something dislocated to me when you tell me that AI is 29th in terms of importance on politics, yet...

I mean, maybe this is just cherry picking or just like picking out a few bits of data, but you have entire communities showing up into town halls to tell people that they don't want data centers in their communities' backyards.

Like that doesn't ring like a 29th most important political issue.

And maybe it's something, as you just said, like the AI tech leaders, Dario, Sam, they're saying, oh, yeah, we're going to completely rewrite the social fabric.

And well, what does the social fabric do as a result of those statements?

Like kind of get scared, kind of gets offended, decides to show up where they know how to show up, which is in their communities.

And so there's something like uniquely galvanizing about AI.

And so when I hear the 29th most important political subject matter, I feel like that's a lagging indicator.

Yeah.

And then there's one more thing I'd like to just introduce is there's actually been violence on the table.

Sam Altman's home has been the target of two attacks, one with a Molotov cocktail, another one with some bullets.
