Erik Voorhees on Building the Uncensored ChatGPT

Erik Voorhees, founder of Venice AI and the man behind ShapeShift, crypto's first non-custodial exchange, sat down with The Rollup live at NearCon to make a bold case: the AI industry has a censorship problem, and the crypto ethos is the cure. From the origins of ShapeShift post-Mt.
