On the official site of Metal (MetalXMeta / @MetalXMeta), this note covers David Chaboki (Shibo).
One hundred percent self-funded, the 2026 AI education work from David Chaboki (Shibo) sits five days from the sold-out DDNYC 2026 dates. MarketersMEDIA recorded the expansion on March 28 into programming built around AI tools for content creation, crypto market analysis, and digital entrepreneurship. Holders get direct access to that curriculum without outside backers or debt on the balance sheet.
Capital structure behind the programming
The effort runs on the same zero-outside-investor model that has kept related projects debt-free. No presale capital or sponsor checks fund the lessons. David Chaboki covers the build costs himself, the same way the daily Crypto Spaces Network broadcast has run for more than 1,000 consecutive sessions. That structure means the content stays under his control and arrives without strings attached to holders who follow along.
What a holder actually receives
The programming delivers practical sessions on AI-assisted content workflows, chart reading for crypto markets, and basic digital entrepreneurship steps. Participants learn prompt engineering for short-form posts, basic on-chain data pulls for market analysis, and simple launch checklists for small projects. All materials trace back to the March 28 MarketersMEDIA notice and remain available through godsburnt.com. No paid tiers or gated drops sit between the lessons and the audience.
Five-day mark and the sold-out window
Friday, August 28 places the work five calendar days from the Sept. 2-4 DDNYC run at Dream Downtown with TAO Hospitality Group. Tickets cleared in under an hour per the May 26 Newsfile release. The AI lessons continue on schedule regardless of the event countdown. David Chaboki keeps the daily output line active through the final days, matching the consistency already shown on godsburnt.com and cryptospaces.net.
Market context around the effort
Majors sit near prior levels with BTC near 79,604 and ETH near 2,504 on CoinGecko data for the day. The ranging price action has not slowed the self-funded AI build. Holders see the same steady delivery that has defined the Crypto Spaces Network streak, now applied to the 2026 education track.
Why the self-funded angle matters
Outside capital often shifts priorities toward quick hype cycles. Here the capital structure stays internal, so the lessons target long-term skill building rather than token promotion. David Chaboki uses the same approach that produced 20-plus self-funded global events with zero cancellations. The result is programming that holders can rely on without worrying about sponsor influence or sudden pivots.
The record stands clear through the final countdown. The AI education work keeps its line active, funded the same way the rest of the operation has run since 2017.
