AI Chatbots Are Coming to the Blockchain

TL;DR

• Arweave is taking its established decentralized file storage system and making use of it to AI-compute (the place, as an alternative of shopping for storage, customers should buy entry to computing energy).

Full Story

Within the early 2000’s Amazon had a significant revelation…

They’d constructed an enormous server farm which managed all of their information and compute energy — which is famously laborious to do from scratch.

This gave Amazon an edge.

If anybody wished to compete with them, that they had to determine scale their compute programs.

However Amazon’s revelation impressed them to provide their edge up utterly.

They took what they’d created → then shifted its entry from non-public, to public, with a purpose to seize a brand new market.

The brand new system was referred to as Amazon Net Providers (AWS) — and it allowed anybody/everybody to purchase entry to Amazon’s compute energy and information storage programs.

At the moment we’re seeing the same transition from the Arweave protocol.

Arweave is a decentralized, everlasting file sharing system (assume: Dropbox, however you solely ever pay for storage as soon as, as an alternative of month-to-month).

And with their new ‘AO’ protocol, they’re taking their established programs and making use of them to AI-compute.

(The place, as an alternative of shopping for storage, customers should buy entry to computing energy).

Right here’s why that is cool:

This opens the door for public, immutable AI fashions to reside/develop on the blockchain, the place they’re resistant to regulatory manipulation and sure vectors of assault.

(Trigger with out central server farm, unhealthy actors lack a dependable goal).

Helluva idea!
