Either AI and crypto get joined together at the hip, or both die. Each is existentially critical for the other. Both sides are in denial about it, but crypto is a little closer to admitting it needs AI than the other way around. This thing is a symbiotic like lichens* * Though lichens involve 3 species not 2

"AI needs cryptography" is something I 100% agree with, in the same way that the internet wouldn't be nearly as useful without SSL/TLS, asymmetric key crypto etc. On the other hand, not obvious to me that AI needs cryptocurrencies/blockchain -- is this what you're claiming and if so why?

Absolutely agree. Would you be willing to join us on our weekly Meteor Twitter Space to discuss it some time? We've had Stephen Wolfram in the past among others. You can check out what we've been doing at https:// this is meteor dot com where we've been trying to connect some of the dots

I've been working on combining them via zero-knowledge proofs! https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.08674

How does AI die without crypto?
