In this week’s Lunch, Tech and Chat, Ray and Will peel back the curtain on Builder AI—the so-called $1.5 billion “unicorn” that wasn’t what it seemed. Learn how:

• 700 engineers in India were masquerading as “AI”

• Lenders uncovered a 300% revenue over-estimation

• Phantom deals and fake transactions finally unraveled the company

• The risks of over-hyped AI—from Apple’s stalled “intelligence” to the next startup bubble

Plus, we explore what real AI-driven productivity could look like, why our brains haven’t kept pace with technology, and whether today’s geopolitical tensions and debt crises are signs of a larger shift in power.

Tune in for a deep dive on the biggest AI scam you’ve never heard of—and join the conversation at the end with our secret code “ancient span.”

In this week’s episode of Lunch, Tech and Chat, William takes us inside the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, where the culture has shifted from hoodie-clad developers to Wall Street pros—and why that matters now that Bitcoin is flirting with all-time highs. We unpack:
