We’re interested in exploring how decentralized methods could help generate new datasets and economically reward contributors and creators. https://www.lisnewsletter.com/p/ai-and-the-why-now-of-data-daos

I don't understand the reasoning behind "AI agents will need to transact via crypto" - why? I've seen AI agents where users just auth with their own traditional payment credentials to interact with websites. Why crypto? (trying to engage in a good faith discussion)

Over my years investing in marketplaces, I've realized there are marketplaces that should exist but that don’t, because of limitations in the systems they are built on. Crypto has potential answers to these problems, enabling new marketplaces to emerge. https://variant.fund/articles/crypto-net-new-marketplaces/

Farcon energy in 2024 really reminds me of Silicon Valley or SXSW 10 years ago: - techno-optimistic - generous / pay it forward - default trust - everyone willing to chat and meet with anyone bc we're all 1-2 hops separated 🥹
