[New Pod] Open Source AI & Confidential Compute w/ Anthony & @Marks - Co-founders, @OpenSecret
https://fountain.fm/episode/YSwEaV5aXBH0aMcliUm5
Anthony & Marks were in town for LLamaCon so we got to jam! We discussed a variety of topics including:
- The state of Llama, DeepSeek, and Open Source AI
- Dario’s take “On DeepSeek and Export Controls”
- Data Quality is key - Garbage In, Garbage Out (speculation: Facebook data not nearly as valuable as Twitter or Reddit?)
- Trend of companies not using proprietary models to protect data privacy
- AI Alignment towards truth: how to ensure LLMs show real chain of thought
- The model host matters most - open source models get filtered in dramatically different ways depending on hosting and system prompts
- The value of open source models in preventing brainwashing/mind control
- Learnings from Mutiny that led to Open Secret
- Confidential Computing Explained
- Secure Enclaves moving from the iPhone to the cloud
- OpenSecret is like Apple’s private cloud compute but open source, verifiable, and anyone can use it
- How to craft better prompts (meta-prompting) to get the most out of AI
- How @OpenSecret and @Maple AI verify that a chat is private. Enclaves as the next upgrade of HTTPS
- Using AI to audit code
- Secure enclaves as an ingredient for autonomous digital life
- o1 isn’t a chat model (and that’s the point)

Great read from @miljan!
We set out to build decentralized social media, end up building decentralized identity, and then casually build a better IPFS. Permissionless innovation ftw!!
@Stuart Bowman & @hzrd149 are legends 👑

I’ve been sitting on it for a month, but this conversation with @franzap is more relevant now than ever!

As vibe coding enables the creation of orders of magnitude more apps and media, the question becomes: how do I sort through this embarrassment of riches to find what I actually need? One option is to trust centralized entities like companies or governments. Franzap, however, has another idea. Using Nostr’s global identity, data commons, and micropayments, he’s designing a new kind of app store powered by a decentralized web of trust. I hope you enjoy! Here are a few topics we discuss:
- Fran’s vision for an open, permissionless alternative to Apple and Android app stores
- How Zapstore could help fund open source development
- Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) have limited path to adoption
- Is it time to build an App Store for AI agents to use?! An open MCP registry could be a good starting point
- IA (Intelligence Amplification) vs. AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- The future of AI and app development
- Why a decentralized Web of Trust matters in sorting information, apps, accounts and anything else
- How to build and use a decentralized Web of Trust

I’ve been sitting on this for a month, but the conversation is more relevant now than ever!
