PART 2 - FROM BIG BANG TO BLOCKCHAIN
Again, @mechanikalk and @jgreenhall back at it.
This one covers the philosophy and design constraints of building a decentralized, scalable, monetary system.
Enjoy!
The typical neocloud operator we speak to says some version of: “I’ve sold out 12 months of capacity on my H200 cluster, but I don’t know what compute prices will be in months 13-24.” Futures solve this, but the suitability of the hedge depends on the index. More below ↓
To all my metamodernist gameB niche nerd friends out there.
We have lost one of the greats.
The best boomer we could wish for.
Planting seeds for trees he'll never get to see.
rest in piece jim.

There will always be a trend towards more useful work.
May the proof lay in the
most maximally useful,
most error minimized,
most signally rich,
most noise free,
and most surprise reduction.
Gradients all the way down…
Two trends are converging in decentralization tech.
- Proof of Work chains want to do *useful* work on AI computations, namely inference.
- Decentralized AI inference is hard to make cheaper, except for merge mining cryptocurrency.
@jbrukh Proof of work chains want to do as much useful work as is physically and informationally possible (same thing but worth saying both)…
The economics will reveal how much useful work the two (inference and hashing) can be done together.
