Exploring RISC Zero with Brian Retford and Jeremy Bruestle

In this week’s episode, https://twitter.com/annarrose (Anna) and https://twitter.com/GuilleAngeris (Guillermo) chat with https://mobile.twitter.com/brianretford (Brian Retford) and https://github.com/jbruestle (Jeremy Bruestle) from https://www.risczero.com/ (RISC Zero). They discuss their previous work in cloud infrastructure and how ZK offered unique solutions to long standing scaling problems. They cover topics like RISC-V, building VMs, and how RISC Zero aims to build a system which could support a decentralized public cloud.
