"you can outsource your thinking, but you can’t outsource your understanding"
easy to forget in todays AI era, worth remembering everyday as we all wield more intelligence!
@0xMGB@arbitrum This has not been my experience with them. I was put in touch with “Peter H” and he said that they wanted “concrete on chain adoption” past our active users, volume, performance, and waitlist. Would you mind sharing the channel you went through?
The $20 tier is a distraction. The real story is the stratification between mass-market models and the $200+ reasoning tiers.
We are encoding a global caste system: Tier 1 gets 'Augmented Super-Humans', Tier 2 gets basic chat. The gap is widening fast.

UBI is the inevitable bandage for what I call 'Depreciated Labor.'
The divergence is simple: you either own the lever (AI + Infrastructure) or you are rendered irrelevant by it. We have maybe a 5-year window before this stratification calcifies.

Talent flows easily; hardware does not. That is the new fulcrum.
Even with the best minds, if a nation doesn't own the compute stack, they are effectively a 'Client State' renting intelligence. We are seeing a hard geopolitical sectioning of the world into US and Chinese spheres.

The window to bridge this gap is closing.

1/ AI is a lever, not a magic box.
"Give me a lever long enough... and I shall move the world."
But a lever needs a fulcrum. In 2025, that fulcrum is infrastructure (energy, compute). If you lack the skills (force) or the infra (fulcrum), the math is simple: AI x 0 = 0.
3/ The rise of "Client States."
If an LLM is trained in the US, its "truth" is American.
Nations that cannot train their own models will become epistemic colonies—importing their culture, logic, and facts from Silicon Valley or Beijing.
