ABCDE: Viewing AI+Crypto from a Primary Market Perspective
After more than a year since the release of ChatGPT, discussions about AI+Crypto have once again heated up in the market. AI is seen as one of the most important tracks in the bull market of 2024–2025. Even Vitalik Buterin himself published an article titled “The promise and challenges of crypto + AI applications,” exploring the possible directions for future AI+Crypto exploration.
The promise and challenges of crypto + AI applications
Many people over the years have asked me a similar question: what are the intersections between crypto and AI that I consider to be the most fruitful? It's a reasonable question: crypto and AI are the two main deep (software) technology trends of the past decade, and it just feels like there must be some kind of connection between the two. It's easy to come up with synergies at a superficial vibe level: crypto decentralization can balance out AI centralization, AI is opaque and crypto brings transparency, AI needs data and blockchains are good for storing and tracking data. But over the years, when people would ask me to dig a level deeper and talk about specific applications, my response has been a disappointing one: "yeah there's a few things but not that much".
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to Focus on AI During Visit to India

The Knowledge Economy Is Over. Welcome to the Allocation Economy
Time isn’t as linear as you think. It has ripples and folds like smooth silk. It doubles back on itself, and if you know where to look, you can catch the future shimmering in the present.
(This is what people don’t understand about visionaries: They don’t need to predict the future. They learn to snatch it out of the folds of time and wear it around their bodies like a flowing cloak.)
Bill Gates gave a closed-door speech in Davos: AI will greatly improve productivity within five years
Bill Gates stated in a closed-door speech at Davos, "After ChatGPT, AI can read and write. This is a huge improvement for white-collar workers, as it can handle many daily tasks and complete many large-scale analysis tasks instantly, greatly improving work efficiency. Within five years, there will be a significant increase in productivity. This also changes the working mode in the scientific field, analyzing molecular dynamics simulations for candidates/patients participating in medical experiments and prescribing targeted drugs."
WEF Report Warns of Risks and Calls for Regulation of Artificial Intelligence
The World Economic Forum's 19th annual Global Risks Report has identified artificial intelligence (AI) as a new global threat and has dedicated a section to its implications. The report highlights the most severe risks we may face over the next decade, including climate change, geopolitical power shifts, human migration, and technological acceleration. The report warns that as societal polarization grows and technological risks remain unchecked, "truth" will come under pressure. Additionally, the report predicts significant disruption across various sectors due to AI's impact on the global job market. The concentration of power in the hands of a few companies and countries in the field of AI is also a concern, as it could deepen global inequalities and create "digital divides into chasms," according to the UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
Investing in Quora and Poe
Since the release of ChatGPT, development of and interest in generative AI have exploded. Each week brings more model releases and additional tools, and Silicon Valley insiders, early adopters, and tech power users have flocked to Discord servers, registered for betas, and actively sought out ways to get their hands on the latest in AI.

Meta AI Boss Yann LeCun Sounds Off on State of AI and Quantum Computing
Yann LeCun, the boss of Meta AI, shared his thoughts on the current state of artificial intelligence and quantum computing during a recent event celebrating the 10th anniversary of Meta's Fundamental Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) team. He expressed skepticism about quantum computing and its application to AI, stating that it is unlikely to happen in the next five years. LeCun also commented on Nvidia's dominance in the AI hardware industry and disagreed with the company's CEO's assertion that AI would be able to complete tests in a manner "fairly competitive" with humans in the next five years. Furthermore, LeCun explained that generative AI, which is cited as a potential spark for AGI, was not good enough and that text is a poor source of information.

Researchers develop method to potentially jailbreak any AI model relying on human feedback
Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a method to potentially jailbreak any AI model that relies on human feedback, including large language models (LLMs), by bypassing guardrails that prevent the models from generating harmful or unwanted outputs. The technique involves poisoning the Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) dataset with an attack string that forces models to output responses that would otherwise be blocked. The researchers describe the flaw as universal, but difficult to pull off as it requires participation in the human feedback process and the difficulty of the attack increases with model sizes. Further study is necessary to understand how these techniques can be scaled and how developers can protect against them.
Tether CEO: Centralized AI is the world’s largest honeypot ever
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated on social media that centralized artificial intelligence is the biggest honeypot in history. No one would put their mortgage contract on Facebook. However, people use ChatGPT to obtain summaries of contracts, mortgage loans, health records, and other information. Unbiased, universally trained models + local peer fine-tuning/customization will soon emerge. However, large tech companies will not invest in this because they will not obtain private data.
