Congrats! What is going to happen of the next few years with AI is going to be mind blowing. The more people you can stear away from crypto and towards democratizing AI, the better, IMO.

Or worse, Web3 ends up intertwining AI/AGI with it.

You say to the guy who wrote the first seed check of Coinbase

Crypto has run it's course, I don't think Gary did anything wrong by helping the crypto experiment happen. But YC is about the future, not the past.

>>gitfan+Cu
Realistically YC is about maximizing ROI and I would happily bet a crypto-related startup will be in Summer '23s cohort - they have crazy valuations and liquidity out of the gates. Personally I want those startups to showcase problems crypto is useful at solving rather than selling pickaxes to the gold rush but I'm less sure that that'll happen. Certainly the idea that Crypto has ran its course is, IMO, premature - people have said that during every bear market since the beginning yet overall usage appears to be increasing and institutional buy-in again appears to be increasing.

Is it premature to say beanie babies or tulips have run their course?

There will continue to be many hardcore fans of tulips and crypto regardless of the price, but marketcap adjusted for inflation has passed the max

Or where it is headed it more dystopia.

AI has already been democratized to death by the same gate keepers creating dystopian deep fakes and training on tons of your data on lots of data centers to incinerate and burn up the planet with zero efficient alternatives.

The AI game has run its course, with nothing left other than the same Tech giants and one hypocritical Open 'faux' AI company.

As a crypto sceptic I'd still love to have been the person who wrote that check

Crypto bag holder I presume?

>>gitfan+Q81
Not quite. But the direct opposite after playing the market for fun, but that is totally irrelevant here and for another time. Let's not deflect and make this about me.

We need to concern ourselves with AI running its course and with wasteful deep learning models constantly training, retraining with that burning up the planet via the data centers especially with zero efficient alternatives, which that is the main concern here and using our data to fuel this dystopia.

Please don't cross into personal attack. You can make your substantive points without that.
