GM☀️Degens — “Bots, Band-Aids & the Line of Code: Discord’s Double Edge, AI ‘Ministers,’ and the Charlie Kirk Fallout” |

Where’s the line between tool and weapon? We dig into who writes the rules for “AI anti-corruption ministers,” why prompt engineering = policy, and how the same platform (Discord) can host reform movements while also being implicated in ugly, coordinated harms. We also unpack the Charlie Kirk tragedy discourse—memecoins, narrative ops, market non-reactions—and the deeper point: tech won’t fix what people won’t face.

In this episode

• 🧩 “Who’s the prompt engineer?” Why code, training data, and incentives ARE the politics.

• 🗳️ Discord’s double edge: organizing reform vs. coordinating violence—what legitimacy looks like online.

• 🤖 AI to fight graft: bias, oversight, and why governance-by-model can’t replace human accountability.

• 🪙 Post-tragedy memecoins & money flows: how opportunists spin narratives—and why markets sometimes shrug.

• 📰 Information frictions: timing, coordination claims, and why receipts matter before hot takes.

• 🧠 The root bug: human nature, accountability, and why breaking routine beats algorithmic prediction.

• 🤝 A hard conversation on empathy and shared pain—can this moment unify instead of divide?
