Burning Bright welcomes Matt McDonagh of Life in the Singularity for his first visit to The Narrative, and the two dig into the Aipocalypse. Matt traces his path from Wall Street and a machine-learning hedge fund to Bitcoin and superintelligence, then they cover rigged inflation math, lizard brain politics, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and the new Tesla Roadster demo as both a real event and a narrative, including the idea of a halo product. From there it's Art Deco and Streamline Moderne, The Atlantic's war on flying cars, the midterms as an unskippable cutscene, data center fears, the AI bubble versus the dot-com bubble, Nikola Tesla's papers and Trump's uncle at MIT, Bitcoin as proof of reality in a world of AI agents, local models versus the frontier labs, and a recursive renaissance that could leave middle managers sweating. BB closes on the Wall Street Journal report that Putin floated a summit with Trump and Xi on Ukraine, and previews next week's solo Sovereign Alliance show.
