jer979Purpose Struggle
Yesterday, I decided that my blogging career should come to an end. I was doing myself a disservice. I told myself that the goal of the posts was to dig deeper, peel back the layers, get down to the core. But by publishing online (or on-chain as the case may be), I was subconsciously writing for others, even if I told myself that I didn't care if others read. So, in an effort to be more authentic, I figured I'd stop publishing and start doing a private journal. Within 2 hours of that decision...

I feel happy. It's fun, it's light, like a feather floating at the beginning of Forrest Gump. But, like the feather, it's not grounded. It can flitter and float away. Value is also ephemeral. We know it when we see it. We feel it, somewhere deep inside. Something connects to us, saying "yes, this is worth it." The "it" that it's worth is energy. Energy in the form of time, attention, money. The things of which our possession is limited. There's a reason why all the great traditions point to "...
jer979Coffee with AI
Every day for the past month, I’ve had a coffee date with AI. I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”. During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend. It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.” No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want. Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quant...

I was playing around with ChatGPT yesterday and started to wonder to myself “when are these guys going to start charging for this?
Subsequently, I saw a Twitter post saying that OpenAI, the org behind ChatGPT, is going to take a 10% equity stake in certain companies to give them access to ChatGPTv4, which is the next version of the AI and which has learned from v3.
In effect, it becomes an AI superweapon that is a competitive advantage for some companies over others.
That’s how OpenAI will monetize.
They’ll give away the old version for free, use that to improve the next version, and monetize via equity by basically being AI “arms dealers.”
I could easily see OpenAI using social tokens, possibly powered by Unlock Protocol or badges on Radix, for example, to gate access to v4 based on membership.
There are going to be a lot of new business models coming out over the next few years, in the same way that Web2 emerged with a few new ones that were previously impossible in a Web1 or pre-Web era.
Business models are the true disruptors of previous epochs.
