SingularDTV: a “blockchain entertainment studio” using Ethereum for DRM on their totally boss sci-fi TV show about the Singularity. (http://rocknerd.co.uk/2016/08/19/singulardtv-a-blockchain-entertainment-studio-using-ethereum-for-drm-on-their-totally-boss-sci-fi-tv-show-about-the-singularity/)

cheers dude :-D There isn’t much direct link to local on-topicality (except Buterin being a LessWrong fan, though I don’t think he ever posted). The planned plot summary of their TV show is awesome, though - a worldwide economic collapse, as predicted by Austrian economics, leads to a fictional Caribbean island being the richest place in the world because it adopted Ethereum first. And therefore AI … somehow … takes over the world.

Sounds like the very-old, antiquated usage of the term "awesome", which is much closer to what we now call "awful". Has all the usual checkmarks of alt-right power fantasy. Worldwide collapse, check. Magical Galt's Gulch, check. Dreams of avarice, check. Magic robot-god daddy figure, check.
