I actually wrote about AI + Crypto today too.  Not exactly the same take but some intersecting themes

Not wanting to offend you here Nick. I'm a USV stan, especially Fred's writing. But I feel like this topic about AI+Crypto and also kinda using the AI risk trope to further Crypto builder motivation - it has been used to such ad nauseam & I'm sure everybody has read about so I'm frustrated, not inspired wen reading

I think the best take on why working on crypto is important respective AI has been this AI-only red teaming post here: https://www.fast.ai/posts/2023-11-07-dislightenment.html AI people don't know it yet, but for govs that ban AI data centers, crypto will be the distributed compute backbone. (1/x)

Hey, no offense taken.  And this post not really meaning to introduce a new idea (esp to builders who think about these things every day) but just to consolidate some thinking.  Are you saying you don’t think the two have these kinds of relationships, or just that they do but it’s just a boring idea at this point?
