Escaping Scam City: Untangling the Human and Economic Cost of Cybercrime | Asia Summit 2025
Manisha Tank, Rafael Frankel, David Koh, Shibani Mahtani, Jacob Sims, Emily Fortuna, Shabani Singh Cassidy, Nicole Sinclair, Rafael Alvarez, Jake Archibald O'
Hundreds of militarized scam compounds in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos operate with state protection, creating a massive global criminal economy that enslaves tens of thousands of workers and generates billions in annual losses. Governments and tech firms like Meta have responded with sanctions, integrated command centers, and account takedowns, yet significant challenges remain due to limited US funding and sanctions that fail to address state-embedded actors. Experts warn that while total eradication is unlikely, coordinated diplomatic pressure at the upcoming ASEAN summit and heightened public vigilance are essential to blunt the industry's growth.

Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger: Building AI Products From the Bottom Up
Mike Krieger, Trevor Johnsen, Sam Nelsons, Emily Fortuna, Dave Elliott Smith, Mike McDonald Jr.
At a recent strategic discussion, Anthropic executive Mike McDonald Jr. outlined a paradigm shift where the distinction between AI-generated and human-created content becomes irrelevant, emphasizing instead that provenance via blockchain and compelling human storytelling will define future value. The organization is operationalizing this vision through a "bottoms-up" product philosophy and the development of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which evolved from engineer-led integrations to establish a standardized, open framework for autonomous agent interactions and economic transactions. Internally, this approach has resulted in massive AI adoption with over 70% of code reviews generated by machines, though leaders note that non-technical organizational bottlenecks now pose the primary constraint on high-velocity development.

A Jane Street Software Engineering Mock Interview with Grace and Nolen
Grace, Nolen, Nolan, Emily Fortuna, Colton Ogden, Todd Kerpelman, Jen Person, Colt McAnlisley, Dan Galpin, Mark Mirchandani
Nolan and Grace, experienced Jane Street employees, co-created a mock interview simulation featuring a unit conversion challenge that evaluates a candidate's graph-based algorithm design and problem-solving collaboration. During the session, the candidate developed a breadth-first search solution to minimize floating-point errors while iteratively correcting structural flaws regarding bidirectional graph construction and edge cases. The exercise underscores Jane Street's emphasis on code clarity, effective communication, and the ability to refine logic through dialogue rather than demanding immediate optimization or perfect syntax.

eSports: The Bumpy Ride to ROI
Ben White, Sam Englebardt, Peter Levin, Kristen Salvatore, Ari Segal, David Rockefeller Jr., Emily Fortuna, Amanda Han, Eric Schmidt, Ari Schwartzmann, Sam Nelsons, Chai, Peter Barron, Peter Barry Kaufmann, Kevin, Carlos, Paul
Industry leaders highlight that gaming now surpasses film and television in scale, with a user base of 2.6 billion driving a strategic shift for traditional media and sports organizations to secure the Gen Z demographic. Investment activity is surging as entities like Immortals Gaming Club adopt holding company structures to capture high valuations and leverage the mobile boom, while platforms like Twitch demonstrate superior engagement metrics that attract non-endemic advertising. Amidst these rapid expansions, the sector faces evolving structural debates regarding player welfare, the rise of influencer-driven brands over traditional franchises, and the impending need for standardized unionization and global regulatory frameworks.
