a16z’s Joel de la Garza sits down with DoxxNet founder Barrett Lyon to discuss what it would take to rebuild the internet around privacy, direct communication, and less dependence on centralized intermediaries.Barrett explains why he thinks traditional VPNs only solve part of the problem and how DoxxNet is building a parallel mesh network where users can communicate peer-to-peer, transfer large files, make calls, and message without routing those interactions through a central application server. He also explains why the company owns its infrastructure and runs its AI systems locally rather than relying on third-party inference providers. doxxnet_assemblyThey also get into the growing amount of tracking embedded across the internet, what happens when that data can be analyzed by increasingly capable AI, and why Barrett believes the underlying protocols of the internet are due for another wave of experimentation. Along the way, he shares lessons from decades of building internet infrastructure, from fighting early DDoS attacks to mapping the internet and building global networks.Resources:Learn more about DoxxNet:<a href="https://doxx.net" rel="noopener noreferrer"> https://doxx.net</a>Follow Barrett Lyon on X: https://x.com/BarrettLyonFollow Joel de la Garza on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/3448827723723234/" rel="noopener noreferrer">linkedin.com/in/3448827723723234</a>
