I've spotted how the same thing is being described in totally different ways, depending on the audience, lately in Crypto. A sacred machine one that normal people should never question is how some describe AI and Web3. Everything sounds heavy. Complex words. Endless layers. Reads threads twice and still feels like he/she doesn't know what the heck the hell is going on: only that they're supposed to feel late. There's the flip side of it, too.
The people who are shrinking their attention spans as technology advances faster.
“Own your data.”
“AI economy.”
“Decentralized intelligence.”
Easy to go viral.
But perhaps quite simple and thus meaningless today.
Now, if you would observe, both parties are likely to be responding to a similar fear.
That these systems are growing to the point that they are too big for cultural processing.
That’s where things become strange to me.
Maybe the real difference between this industry is not technical. Maybe it’s linguistic. Psychological. Social.
We continue to create systems that alter the way value moves, how identity operates, how information functions, etc. and we are still using the same startup vernacular from 5 years ago for all of this.
What's so interesting is that projects such as @OpenLedger appear to be right in the middle of this tension.
Not only the infrastructure for AI.
Not just blockchain coordination.
It's like trying to structure something that we don't yet know how to talk about as humans. Data becomes labour, models become economies, contribution becomes monetized behavior.
Well, it's not quite clear yet in fact.
I sometimes wonder if this simple/clever approach to these ideas does more harm than good to the adoption or if it merely disguises complexity long enough for people to be able to do something they don't understand without having to ask questions.
Right now crypto culture is divided between two groups, one who overcomplicates everything and another who makes everything about aesthetics.But perhaps both are causing confusion in their own unique ways.
