👀New Verified Podcast episode dropping next week with @trentmc0

The idea of independent AI agents might sound like science fiction, but it’s becoming a reality. I listened to a conversation with @trentmc0 about @oceanprotocol Really fascinating how they envision the future of AI agents. What impressed me most was the idea of autonomous…

2023 – Chatbots •Fluent text generators •Still hallucinate heavily •No memory, no tools, no autonomy 2024 – Reasoners •Chain-of-thought, scratchpads •First signs of problem-solving and logic •Emergent planning and coding •Tools become common (e.g. calculators, code…

Flashback Friday! Learning about "AI DAOs" from @trentmc0 medium.com/@trentmc0/ai-d… DAOs that use AI ... or AI that runs on a decentralized processing substrate What makes them special? - access to resources - ability to get more - humans can’t control them once they're going

This was fun, we moved from AI x crypto to ASI timelines to bci/acc. The next 5 years can be extremely transformative and it is good to have an idea of what to expect or at least reason about these topics. @trentmc0 was very right very early, I'd say it's worth listening at least…

@JoinEdgeCity will be in Patagonia in the fall. So many people I know say: "the dream is having an amazing ecosystem of people in awe inspiring nature. " Here is your opportunity to make that a reality. Apply here: edgecity.simplefi.tech/portal/edge-pa…

Founder of @OceanProtocol & @ASI_AllianceTCurren, @trentmc0 on accelerating brain interfaces with a Web3 twist: We are all natural-born cyborgs. To compete with ASI, humans need a competitive substrate. BCI is the bridge. We must bring BCI to the masses, with trustless access…

Our CIO @mark_cachia_ and @DaKampe arrived in Berlin at the @Web3foundation summit right in time to travel into the future with @trentmc0.

With brain-computer interfaces, we’re not just reading thoughts, we’re linking mind & machine in real-time, turning intention into action Hear more on this tomorrow 16th of July at @Web3summit 2025, as Ocean Founder @trentmc0 explores: "Accelerating Brain Interfaces with a…

🚨 New Verified Podcast out now! "The next 5 years will be wilder than the last 1000." @trentmc0, founder of @oceanprotocol & @ASI_Alliance, joins us to talk crypto, AGI, and brain-computer interfaces. This one goes deep. Watch here → youtu.be/7ifojxDN2ZM

🇨🇳 The future is here. Children in China play with their new Unitree robot. The new humanoid robot model by Unitree is now for sale to the public and is being seen all over China now. I'll post some more videos below:

BREAKING: The first foundation model of cognition just dropped. It’s called Centaur, and it mirrors human behavior across 160+ psychology tasks. Here's everything you need to know:

Life goal of mine-->sing opera inside a cooling tower. Last month, IT HAPPENED. And I filmed a music video. Here's a taste, with the full video in the comments! cc: @Gen_Atomic thank you @Elektrarne

While blockchain networks are decentralized, it doesn't guarantee that you can reliably access them. Ironic! Why? The last-mile nodes -- RPCs -- can be unreliable. Point to the wrong RPC and you're in for a lot of pain. Some networks have *no* reliable RPCs 😵‍💫. It's a bit like…

New Post: “The World is a Fractal” A mental model to navigate the endless depth of knowledge. Ever googled something simple, and emerged 3 hours later, 27 tabs deep, questioning reality itself? I explore why that happens. Featuring spellbinding fractal images. Link below 👇

Oceaners, we’re starting the week with news worth marking your calendars for: The Superintelligence Summit returns for its 2nd edition, this time in Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 After hosting 1,000+ curious, sharp, and forward-thinking minds throughout our full-day event in Bangkok, we’re…

I'm incredibly saddened to share that yesterday, my co-founder and closest friend Meher passed away after a long fight against leukemia. I met Meher back in 2014. At the time, he was working for Novartis, but he had a deep interest in cryptocurrencies. He was an Epicenter…

"AI" now: a field, an industry "AIs" soon: people* * not as humans (duh), but similar: as intelligent entities that you'll treat as their own individual selves

"AI-first" will change from "a product for humans only possible with AI", to "a product for AIs", to "by AIs, for AIs".

In five years your primary customers will be AIs.
