Erik Voorhees decentralized ShapeShift, took two years off, and didn't know what was next. Then the AI moment hit and he saw a vacuum: "No one in the AI world cares about free speech. No one cares about privacy. These are relatively foreign concepts to a largely academic community." "Their mentality is about always controlling people and making sure the right person is controlling them." Venice was built to fill the gap between what AI companies offer and what users deserve.
