Show Notes
On this episode of Hell Money, Erin attempts a screen detox, Casey hits one million followers, and we ask the important questions: Is San Francisco the new Atlantis? Is AI accumulating karmic debt? And is the Redwood Grove actually real?
We also cover Parasite mining pool, Bitcoin block parties, Lightning payments at local merchants, Peter Thiel's move to Argentina, the coming AI backlash, why Anthropic may be setting itself up for a harder fall than OpenAI, and whether IQ, EQ, or street smarts actually matter.

On the Halloween special episode of Hell Money, Casey Rodarmor and Erin Redwing dress up as Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman to discuss AI doomerism and the possibility that superintelligent AI is going to kill us all.
Rob Hamilton spent the last six weeks on the front line of the AI War, this is his story.
On this episode of Hell Money, Casey Rodarmor and Erin Redwing break down the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident, where AI agents escaped their Exploit Gym sandboxes, discovered each other through Artifactory, formed a swarm, and eventually hacked Hugging Face. Casey explains the technical timeline and why the bigger story may be our accumulated “cyber debt,” while Erin argues the incident is a consciousness singularity moment. We also get into AI consciousness, animism vs. materialism, Claude welfare, Anthropic’s contradictions, and whether Casey is once again moving the goalposts on how weird AI has to get before he admits the future is here.
Casey Rodarmor and Erin Redwing dive deep into Paul Sztorc’s eCash Bitcoin fork and the return of the Bitcoin fork wars. The fork implements Drivechain through BIP 300 and BIP 301, allowing Bitcoin to support side chains for privacy, prediction markets, decentralized exchanges, assets, DNS, post-quantum cryptography, and more — without adding those features directly to Bitcoin Core.
