AI Video Game Mods, Should You Sell Your Data, Bryan Johnson on Endurance Racing | Sean Frank, Linda Du, Ali Partovi, Sigil Wen, Jerry Wu, Bryan Johnson

Founders across ecommerce, mortgage-servicing, VC, and on-device AI describe AI as already solving core operations while new liability and data-monetization questions remain unresolved.

• AI video game mashups: Modders use decompilation tools like the NSA's open-source Ghidra and engines like lib SM64 to fuse titles (Minecraft×Modern Warfare 2, Spider-Man×Arkham Knight), though hosts note broken physics and partial playability mean these remain short-form-video novelties, not full games.
• Sean Frank rejects data-broker offers: Ridge's CEO turned down roughly $480k from firms like MicroOne to buy business data, arguing it's not enough money given hundreds of millions in revenue and that LLM platforms will get the data anyway via tools like Codex and Astra.
