What happens to network effects?
What happens to the ways in which we think about, you know, this was a lot of what the viral Citrini article was talking about.
When AI automates discovery, how do companies compete with each other?
How do protocols compete with each other?
Because so many of their business models
are dependent or have this baked in assumption of human friction.
This idea that, well, a human's only going to look at three or five, or they're only going to look at the biggest one.
And so all you really got to do is get the biggest person and then they're sticky.
They're not going to want to look around any further.
But an AI agent doesn't necessarily think that way.
So I think a lot, if you assume that this story's true, a lot is gonna change about the way that protocols work, about the way that protocols compete, and who's gonna benefit from all of this?
The answer largely is the consumer benefits, right?
It's a big consumer surplus.
If all of a sudden this efficiency is getting captured by the user,
That's good for users.
It's good for crypto.
It ultimately means that like crypto users are going to benefit more and more and more from all the stuff that exists on chain, you know, but it's very counterintuitive how it's going to work and it's not going to happen all at once.
It's going to be a gradual process as these models get better and better.
And store it somewhere on the machine.
No, it's a great question.
