Blockchain Founder Says AI Is Censoring Us | Jae Kwon | Ep. 220

Jae Kwon, founder of Cosmos and now Gno.Land joins Matt Kim to discuss AI translation restrictions, platform moderation, and the tension between AI’s usefulness and its influence over information. Their conversation moves into programming languages, crypto adoption, decentralization, and Kwan’s vision for Gno.land. They also debate AI risk, corporate and government control, and the limits of proving what is true. Claims about censorship, institutions, technical capabilities, and personal events are presented as the speakers’ accounts, not independently verified findings.Jae Kwon X : https://x.com/jaekwonGno.land: https://linktr.ee/gno.landhttps://fromhebrew.com
