Last week at an event I got to hear Michael Dempsey from Compound talk about "in-distribution" (familiar) and "out-of distribution" (novel) ideas, and how AI plays into this. He wrote it up as an essay yesterday (with a great lede): "The human condition is romantic. We tightly guard and appreciate the idea that we are all unique, each with our own novelty running through our veins and shooting out of each electrical charge from our neurons firing. We as humans are connected because we have both thought what others have thought and only think what no others have ever thought. The concept of some form of heightened superintelligence threatens this. LLMs broadly take the collective thoughts of humanity and shine a mirror on those writing prompts, spitting out an answer that could lead to a given person learning that perhaps so many others have thought everything we have thought. And we will likely learn, that that's okay in some regards" https://mhdempsey.substack.com/p/in-distribution-vs-out-of-distribution

I read this paragraph a few times and thought about how it perfectly sums up a lot of the problems within crypto and technology building in general. via - https://gagra.vc/flipping-the-ai-coin

Not clear to me Wormhole isn’t going to be the ICP of this cycle. But maybe it’s just JUP

Are there any more novel approaches to tokenomics that have been written about that evolve past veToken model? Feels odd to me we are using something that is years old while pace and learning of token-related problems continues aggressively.

let's build a protocol with a token that doesn't make money, say it will eventually make money, and then pivot value accrual from the token to the equity entity?
