You know, I my my protocol is like a completely different bet.

You know, my essential I think the there are some interesting intersections of crypto and I that people are probably less focused on, which is that, you know, all of crypto is open source.

So actually, when you use codecs or you use these agents,

they are like phenomenally good at, you know, crypto work because it's in the train is because it's in the training data and it's all open source.

So if you screw something up, you can just be like, Hey, can you just double check this with railguns implementation to make sure that we're doing the same thing?

And then like, you know, five minutes later, you have like a working, you know, orchard shielded transaction on as opposed to like some Fortran code that's locked in some old financial institution.

Exactly.

And so there's like an OpEx efficiency argument in crypto because historically crypto has been like a very wasteful industry.

You know, there's like a lot of money spent on conferences and just like, you know, the Ethereum Foundation is like a good example of like how not to run a company.

And it's sort of like there's a lot of waste in crypto and AI is like crypto is like the ultimate software industry where you're like, OK, I could credibly reduce engineering by like, you know, 60 percent here.

Well, you kind of converge on this conclusion, right?

We start with a psychosis.

And the threat of the psychosis is that my work is not meaningful and that everything that I've done is basically meaningless because an AI will be able to do it better.

And then you actually start encountering the tools and you're like,

okay.

And the areas I don't understand AI is really good, but in the areas I deeply understand AI is like pretty bad.

You know, there's not like a TVPN where, uh, there's like two AI avatars that are doing a better job than you guys.

I mean, maybe the new a 16 Z one is, is that, and we just don't realize it.

Right.

It could just be that those guys are, are, are running a really, really advanced, uh, AI system.
