Recorded a pod in Singapore with gensyn and Naptha AI about decentralized AI following 5 hours at ICLR 2026 + 7 hour timezone difference + all you can eat hawker buffet This is the arena

Compute for AI should feel like electricity: same price per kilowatt-hour, no questions about which power plant produced it. You ask for an inference/training job; you get a quoted flat fee; done. End-users (people or AI agents) shouldn't care whether the workload runs on

OpenAI playing at the discovery layer of e-commerce. Awesome. But until an agent can close the cart itself, hold funds, enforce refund logic, and settle in milliseconds we are on the ground floor of whats possible. techcrunch.com/2025/04/28/ope…

Duolingo is now "AI-first." This provides really great insight into how modern companies are thinking about AI. I expect many more to follow suit with very similar stances.

Gartner says 60 % of enterprises will deploy privacy-enhancing computation by year-end. Translation: the data vaults are finally unlocking. Perfect moment to build decentralized AI that can learn + transact without ever leaking raw data.

🔮Prediction: At least 70% of today’s “hot” VS Code forks and AI code assistants (Cursor, Windserve, Bolt, etc.) will either be acquired, shut down, or lose the majority of their user base. There’s just not enough developer mindshare (or budget) to support a dozen

The killer use case for decentralized AI is enabling new classes of applications where centralization is impossible or undesirable: privacy, censorship resistance, local personalization, edge inference, etc.

The real leverage and defensibility in the AI era will be about who owns the highest-quality, most context-rich proprietary data and who can curate it for LLMs in ways others can’t.

Packed episode! Google’s “Era of Experience” whitepaper and the stunning demonstrations of Genie 2 world models could become another Schelling Point for AI. Imagine 3D environments generated in real time where agents learn through trial and error, swarm digital marketplaces

The "Prompt-engineer" and "vibe coder" narrative has become a bit overblown for where we are right now. But this much is still very true: If you can design, debug, and secure AI workflows, your value is about to skyrocket.

This was such a great conversation! Thanks for joining Richard Blythman, robinhood, and I on Trillion Agents this week week Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈). In addition to co-founding NEAR Protocol, Illia also co-wrote "Attention is All You Need." He's one of the most qualified people in

Happy Friday! New pod from Richard Blythman, robinhood, & Donald Gossen - d/aicc YC just predicted 3,000 new AI agent unicorns. That's 10X more than the entire 20-year SaaS boom created. Here's the math: Companies spend way more on human salaries than software. When vertical
