Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

So to be clear, like this is true for anything that has not been optimized, okay?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

So look, for example, at chess.

Bankless

If you try to get Opus 4.6 to play chess, it's mediocre.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

That's right.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

That's right.

Bankless

Now, the reason why it's so bad at chess is because they didn't try to train a chess.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

They don't care.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

It's just not important, right?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

If you try to train a chess, it will become good at chess just like that.

We know how to do it to create neural net based chess engines that are better than any human being who's ever existed, right?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

We've had those for a decade now.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

So it's simply a function of they just didn't bother because who cares?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

We already have chess engines that are way cheaper to use than open AI.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

So the answer is that they just didn't point their lasers at this because it's not economically valuable to do so.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

When they do, you are going to know about it because they're going to start yelling it from the rooftops.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Now, the reason, I think a big part of the reason why, why have they not done it so far?

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

Because the thing is, getting blockchain-based tasks is not that hard.

Bankless
Haseeb Quereshi: Crypto’s Not Made for Humans—It’s for AI

It's all software.

It's easy to create an EVM simulator to simulate the state of the blockchain, to test whether or not you accomplished this task of, you know, did you recursively borrow this thing or did you sell this thing for that thing?
