Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

So that's why I think it's very foolish for people to start thinking that crypto wins when AI fails.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

It's the opposite.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

I think this is overrated.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

No, I don't think this is true.

So if you listen to Dario, the CEO of Anthropic, what he says is that, this was just a few years ago when Anthropic was first growing as a business.

Bonnie Blockchain

He said that we actually don't try to hire machine learning PhDs.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

We just try to hire smart people because machine learning PhDs, most of them were learning machine learning in a time before LLMs.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

And all of that stuff is mostly useless today because it's just not the way that machines learn anymore.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

Machines don't learn the way they did 10 years ago.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

So some guy who got a machine learning PhD 10 years ago, they don't know a damn thing about LLMs.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

They don't know about transformers.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

Transformers were invented 10 years ago.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

So is it really possible that somebody who got a machine learning PhD 10 years ago happened to study transformers?

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

We didn't know that transformers were going to control everything in the future 10 years ago.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

So now if you get a Stanford PhD today, then okay, you're learning about LLMs for sure.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

But so much is yet to be written.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

And so much of like everybody, you know, go talk to all these people who are working in the field.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

They're drinking from a fire hose every day.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

I remember what that was like.

Bonnie Blockchain
AI vs Crypto Where the Real Opportunity Is Now|EP66|Haseeb Qureshi |Bonnie Blockchain

If you were in crypto back in the day that I was there or like in DeFi summer or like when all this stuff was changing in real time, it's the same feeling.
