152. TBR - Decentralized AI | Bittensor $TAO | Crypto’s Fight Against Rogue AI
Saturday Apr 22, 2023
Saturday Apr 22, 2023
Every now and then we stumble across a decentralized technology that is so critical to humanity, its hard to even covey its importance. With the advent of AI (Artificial Intelligence), we’ve seen its massive potential and even potentially destructive outcomes it could lead us to. However, with every great technology, there is a double edged sword. We go deep on what we believe can help decentralize AI and distribute ownership and responsibility to everyone on the planet. Imagine taking the largest computation network known to humanity known as Bitcoin and direct that energy into an AI network where contributors and users of the network own the AI. Here you have Bittensor, a network of decentralized machine learning systems that developers can leverage to utilize an unbiased and verified dataset to train AI machine learning algorithms. Centralized AI counterparts can be corrupted and manipulated by their creators and provide biased outcomes from the AI. Decentralizing ownership and distributing the source of the data provides us without a technical solution to a corrupt AI. Listen to how we break all of this down on episode 152.
Topics:
- First up, is AI really solving humanities problems or will it end humanity?
- Next, Iman and I examine Bittensor and its application as a decentralized artificial intelligence.
- Then, we recollect our first experience with crypto currency
- and Finally, can a Decentralized AI be the way of the future of the economy?

With Bitcoin on the rise again, the time to look for the next big crypto sector becomes much more important. Time will be running out soon to secure a position prior to a market rise for the crypto AI sector. What should we be looking for when evaluating crypto ai projects? First, the fundamental value that will result from web3 ai startups must be identified and how will that product be superior than what the traditional more centralized ai companies can produce. Personal.ai demonstrates their version 1 of their flagship product allowing users to build historical memory stacks overtime through communication on their platform. This information can then be utilized by anybody looking to communicate with you by being able to recall your entire history.
Topics:
- First up, we take a look at why Bitcoin is back to $30,000 dollars!
- Next, Iman and I explain New Technologies using some analogies
- Then, we react live to the Personal.AI conference hosted by the CEO named Suman
- and Finally, summarize our thoughts for the future of Personal.AI

The metaverse continues to progress despite its bearish sentiment. Fortnite has released a tool called creative 2.0 which is allowing creators to spin up their own games leveraging the Fortnite engine and its resulting in a boom of AAA quality experiences without the need for AAA game studios. This is huge for the UGC wave and will onboard many more people into the virtual space to find new ways to create value. Improbable and M2 also has been demonstrating some amazing technology designed to support the metaverse. One enabling thousands of concurrent users to be in the same shared space and the other a coding standard for developers to build interactive content that is deployable across any virtual environment connected to it. Also, how Twitter leverages this new technology to improve the experience of Twitter be the town hall of human civilization.
Topics:
- First up, Iman and I look at Fortnite’s creator tool and see what people made with it.
- Next, Elon Musk replaces the Twitter logo with Doge and what that means for crypto payments on Twitter.
- Then, we check out MSquare’s metaverse design where you can experience thousands of players on screen
- Finally, will Improbable and MSquared technology be the foundation of the metaverse?

We discuss how the Federal Reserve is responsible in controlling the economic outcome for the U.S. The mechanics of Inflation and interest rate adjustments and how this affects the economy.

Also, how is China’s positioning in the global economy impacting their decisions to launch their own CBDC and is the anti-China narrative proliferating in media intended to lead the U.S. into a future conflict with China? Also, how will technology and innovation fix the impending problems a financial system collapse, and A.I. and automation poses to the economy of the future. Will humanity escape to the metaverse to find its new purpose.

Boson Protocol is working on building the digital commerce layer for the metaverse and the web3 space as a whole. With entrants like Amazon coming into the space with their own NFT ecosystem, decentralized protocols that can facilitate physical redemption through the use of NFTs are needed. Boson has built the protocol to ensure trust is autonomously setup between buyers and sellers of digital and physical goods without the need for a third party intermediary. Boson has an established presence in the metaverse, specifically Decentraland, and is leveraging the virtual realm to prove the utility of their protocol by allowing in world users to mint rNFTs which grant them the ability to redeem them for real world products. Already major brands are working with Boson to be a part of this network that is open for anyone to leverage.
Topics:
- First up, we ask Justin what is BOSON and why its valuable for web 3.
- Next, Iman and I ask how Brands will exist in the metaverse.
- Then, we layout several ways anyone can leverage the metaverse.
- Finally, What does Justin Banon really think of the web 3 space and US regulations?

We interview Suman Kanuganti of Personal.ai about the future of artificial intelligence and how users of his platform are able to generate A.I. versions of themselves by curating information and feeding it to their own personal AI. This technology unlocks a whole world of possibilities and can transform the way humans interact in the digital age. We also talk about how these personal AIs can exist in the metaverse and also how an open platform can enable developers to spin up whole new use cases. Also, how does web3 play into the personal.ai ecosystem. How can AI generators and contributors monetize through the platform, and how does blockchain preserve security and ownership of user data.
Topics:
- First up, Suman explains what is Personal.AI and its use case
- Next, we question what it takes to make the ultimate Artificial intelligence.
- Then, how to avoid false data for A.I.
- Finally, how can A.I. fix the issue between Science and Politics.

We discovered a new web3 ecosystem that has developed a protocol for NFT owners to merge A.I. personality to their assets. This process fuses the two NFTs together into a new smart contract which generates an iNFT that carries intelligence properties information on-chain. This is exciting for the future of the metaverse which will host living, speaking, and engaging NFTs that are A.I. enabled to provide services to the end users. A.I. enabled characters will then earn ALI tokens. Will this be the next big primitive or just a fad? Also, we deep dive on A.I. philosophy on how to make A.I. valued on the same level of humanity. Also, what is going on with Bitcoin ordinals? Why are inscriptions going through the roof?!
Topics:
- First up, we jump right in with iNFTs being developed
- Next, examine how tokens are leveraged in the crypto economy
- Then, we take a look at how companies can monetize ChatGPT
- Finally, Google is losing the A.I. race, will it get left behind?

Friday Mar 31, 2023
Friday Mar 31, 2023
As we have been anticipating, there has been a surge in A.I. crypto tokens over the last 7 days. Most coins in that sector are up by 200% on average. This was predictable considering the massive amount of attention the Artificial Intelligence applications have been getting from the mainstream. The sector is small with only a handful of viable projects, but nonetheless, the application of leveraging blockchain to create distributed AI learning networks to produce consumer facing AI products is enticing to say the least. Also we speak on the overall market sentiment improving, how AI will continue to develop even outside of web3, and a major update to the Decentraland Worlds progress (ENS enabled).
Topics:
- First up, Everyone is talking about AI and incorporating it into businesses.
- Next, we examine the status of Bitcoin and it’s upswing!
- Then, is it possible to create an artificial intelligence that emulates God?
- Finally, are we in a simulation and what is its purpose?
