In the dark forest of silicon-based life, who holds the cryptographic shotgun that leads to the physical truth?
In these past few days, staring at those red and green alternating lines on the screen, my mind is filled with this thought. The market has become utterly rotten; the streets are full of those 'Frankenstein' projects wrapped in AI. Just find an old distributed computing project that nobody wanted two years ago, change a couple of lines in the white paper, and stuff in some buzzwords like 'large model inference' and 'decentralized computing power,' and they dare to come out and raise funds with great fanfare. This behavior is no different from those file storage projects from a few years ago; essentially, it's still selling that extremely cheap illusion of hardware redundancy. You think you're buying the future, but what you're actually getting is just a pile of electronic waste packaged as high tech. Having been in this industry for so many years, I've seen too many narratives that survive on PPTs, but when you truly try to implement that ethereal computing power into the real physical world to drive a robot that has arms and legs, can run and jump, you'll find that those so-called 'on-chain AIs' are all makeshift and full of flaws.
