Bankless · Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw · 24 Mar 2026 podcast

And I don't know if you saw Andrej Karpathy's like AI research article.

So that kind of shows you as well a similar principle, right, where it can be cooperative or competitive, right?

So competitive is kind of this competition.

It can be cooperative where you actually, you have a common goal and agents are like, if you hit common goal, reward is being split between all of them, right?

And now they're actually trying to help each other and kind of move it forward and then allocate, internally also allocate resources to the ones that do better at specific things, right?

or have more compute or have more resources.

And so, or maybe you can tap into a human who can help them with like some decisions.

So I think like we'll see some of those things emerging and as kind of core capability and especially context is improving, the systems are going to just keep working better and better.

No, no, no.

So we actually launched a demo of this last year.

We called it the Shade Agent, where you just launch it.

It just runs.

As far as it has money to pay for it, like has crypto to pay for its own compute, it can run.

And it was trying to make more money.

So it was like an investment.

And so it used Near Intense to effectively trade on all the assets and had Twitter access to see where the sentiment is.

And, you know, it was like up at some points, down at some points.

But it's a good example of this concept where, yeah, you're effectively, because of decentralized infrastructure, like you can do this right now.

You can actually spin it up and then, you know, a smart contract can pay for inference and compute.

And you have kind of this full autonomy.
