Yeah, I think there are definitely a few ways: 1) privacy-preserving via TEEs to hide the prompt template 2) the youtube path, which could be done without crypto and just use crypto as a payments solution (and may be what OpenAI's social network looks like) 3) Some way to track provenance on a blockchain via an NFT then users can fork it and some portion of revenue flows back to users Still a bit fuzzy on the winning approach for rn.

Creating prompts is becoming a very valuable skill, but it's hard to monetize. The moment you expose the prompt/template for others to fork, it leaks value. Crypto has the potential to enforce monetization + provenance for creators to earn through a variety of means.

Thrilled to back Plastic Labs Beyond crypto, the modular vs. monolithic debate rages on in AI Today, OpenAI announced a monolithic memory approach. We believe that a modular approach like Plastic Labs could offer greater personalization & flexibility for agents. Learn more šŸ‘‡

Working on Agent that generates its own generative art code then publishes it. Hopefully will get better via Human Feedback over time, but still very much a WIP. Has had a few cool outputs so far, like the one below. https://rodeo.club/post/0xEd9c254942B50c07cFE3779D9bD175E751133262/5

Yeah I think AI is extremely helpful for automation, I just worry that if you trust its decision too much the same things will be funded. Ie if every VC uses DeepResearch for a company / market they will all come to the same conclusion vs thinking for themselves.

Too much reliance on AI in investing could create a dangerous feedback loop. Models will reinforce consensus thinking amongst investors. Yet exceptional returns require betting against the crowd and having information that algos can't capture.

I’m thrilled to announce our seed investment in Pluralis Research, which is building a decentralized AI training protocol. We are laser focused at investing in projects that use crypto ownership to solve coordination problems. Pluralis is a bullseye on that thesis, using ownership to solve the "resource problem" of training foundational AI models that are truly open. We couldn't be more excited to support Alex and the rest of the team. Full post here: https://blog.variant.fund/investing-in-pluralis-research
