The hardest challenge for all computers including AI is the physical world.

How can we be sure that the digital representation is accurate? Do you know the weather? 

Do you know if someone really arrived? 

Do you know the house really is in good shape? Is it even there?

Getting physical data into the digital world has become easier with sensors and image recognition, but not verifiable.

And for sure not usable in permissionless, decentralized networks like blockchains. I feel that will be the next big unlock. Solve for verifiable real world inputs into digital systems.

You are right, but you are also wrong in some way.

So, in the physical world, how do you actually, **know** what the weather is at my place? How do you **know** that the address I gave you is actually my address, or that it even exists?

The answer is trust. In most cases, you trust a website, that trusts an organization, that is regulated by a government, and you trust the whole setup. You go to google maps, and you trust what you get. In crypto we call this an oracle.

The only problem web3 has with this, is the narrative that we can get to a world of zero trust. We are not, and we won't. But we have new ways to provide and evaluate trust assurances.
