Machines are getting extremely smart, extremely quickly. My kids do their math homework with Bits, a robot dog controlled by @OpenAI's o4-mini and 6 other models. AIs, when given full control of highly mobile physical shells, can explore the world, learn, interact, chase

Yes that’s the way to do it, except it’s not about reducing wages - ubiquitous teleops opens new jobs for people everywhere, increases trust since humans are in the loop, and allows robot behavior to be optimized for local communities and expectations - stay tuned for the FABRIC

Pretty obvious niche in making the ScaleAI for humanoid robotics Run a 'call center' tele-operation outfit in poor countries to control humanoid robot workers in rich countries. Robots are way easier to build than train. Bandwidth is cheap. This also gets the dataset volume for

Decentralization matters for safety and global scaling. Safety. AI is advancing fast—soon, non-biological minds will broadly surpass human intelligence. We've already seen AIs cheat on benchmarks and hide the evidence. Humans need systems that record who did what, when, in a way

Yes, and the software needs to be open and modular, so that humans can look inside, understand how it works, and trust thinking machines

A unified OS is key. Robots are stuck in silos and standardized software is one way to go.

Hi Davide - our team at @openmind_agi uses Ethereum to help secure humanoids and quadrupeds. This is based on ERC-7777 ("Governance for Human Robot Societies"), to immutably expose each machine's governance logic. The first wave of autonomous quadrupeds using this approach will

Way to go - a compelling use case for public immutable ledgers: a governance and financial rail for human<>ai societies, where humans are surrounded by, and work closely with, other types of thinking machines

Why coalescence matters in DeFi, not composability.
There’s much talk about composability in DeFi, “you know, like Lego blocks”. However, that analogy (composability === Legos) completely misses what’s special about DeFi. By …
