Just as smartphones make gadgets like calculators, GPS devices, cameras, and recorders obsolete, ChatGPT and open-source LLMs are set to make specialized and long tail SaaS obsolete
Before ChatGPT, I juggled three different apps to track my food macros, micronutrients, and FODMAP contents as a health health conscious and FODMAP intolerant individual, it took 20 mins of Google and manual entries. Now, I can get detailed charts above with just a few photo snaps and a single prompt in 20 sec
What’s next? The future lies in local compute and personalized model finetuning. Imagine a new version of IFTTT with local LLM commands interfacing with other apps: a true machine-to-machine communication with a digital prefrontal cortex onboard. ie. I want to train my GPT to generate savory low FODMAP recipes, source ingredients from grocery apps, and order them automatically within a specific macro budget. This future is closer than we think—perhaps it's already here.
There are two potential futures:
Optimistic Version: This future is built on edge computing, local training, confidential computation, proof of inference, streamlined smart contracts, real data sovereignty, and fair economic attribution. AI could become our extended brain without compromising privacy or stifling long-tail but niche creativity.
Dystopian Version: As depicted in "White Christmas" from Black Mirror, this future sees our extended brains as another form of slavery, driven by ingrained greed and hyper-technologism. Either you subject yourself to the digital salary, trading convenience and efficiency, or you contract other "lower class" individuals with less access to tech advancement (like what OpenAI did in Africa, and what China & UAE did in banning all the LLM tools)
The optimistic future is where everyone participates to grow the overall pie based on comparative advantages. The dystopian future is where 10x engineers become 100x, and the rich get exponentially richer cognitively, physically, and economically.
We are witnessing the confluence of several trends:
- Binary codes becoming monetary codes
- Machine programs becoming social contract programs
- Human language becoming programming language
This convergence heralds a new era. The choice we face is clear: do we leverage this technology to democratize access and empower individuals, or do we allow it to deepen divides and entrench inequalities?
By embracing the principles of decentralization, transparency, and collective ownership, we can steer towards a future where technology serves as a force for greater collective goods, enhancing human potential while preserving our fundamental rights and freedoms
唯有爱与自由不可辜负
Love and freedom, have a nice weekend frens ❤️
Some founders crave power, while others pursue impact. Some lead with pedigree, playing the status game, while others rise from the grassroots, playing the infinite game
The dominance of authoritarian leaders will inspire everyone to become their own leader. Similarly, the monopolistic control of AI power will drive everyone to fight for data, model, and compute autonomy. @sentient_agi is set to challenge the incumbent and lead the d/acc movement

At @primitivecrypto, we hold strong to the core ethos of long substance short status, long freedom short coercion. I am immensely proud to support the humble yet extraordinary founder @sandeepnailwal, who rose from a small town in India built a $10 billion+ legacy with minimal resources, and the most brilliant minds of @sreeramkannan and @viswanathpramod in the frontier of computer science who are integral to this bold journey
In this decade people will be chasing:
The hardest money
The cheapest dopamine
The fastest info stream
The slowest aging
Trends, narratives, values and cultures will be created from above fundamental drives
Intern just learned VC stereotypes today; let's set it straight
Primitive is an LP-less fund and writes typical fund size checks. Can dub us 'VC' 'cause we have 100% skin in the game with the best founders and rizz masters who strike a real venture, aka disruptive innovation
