Over the past decade, live streaming has evolved from a digital novelty to a cultural mainstay. Originating from pixelated broadcasts in East London's underground scene, platforms like Boiler Room have transformed once-ephemeral musical events into a permanent fixture online. By 2016, Boiler Room streamed over 3.5 billion minutes of live DJ performances, attracting up to 400,000 viewers per event - setting a new standard in integrating live music with video, driving a new era in music li...

The demand for AI content tools is exploding. But without fundamental change to how computing power is distributed and paid for, this tidal wave of innovation will take place behind closed doors. Decentralization through open job marketplaces is a powerful alternative to the current AI bottleneck that can drastically lower prices, boost profitability for server providers and create a dynamic AI market through competition. Let’s look at why AI compute is so expensive and what can be done about...

The launch of powerful generative AI video was a before and after moment for the creative industries. The AI video craze was kicked off by Runway back in 2023 with the launch of Gen-2, its pioneering video generation model. It was a huge leap forward from the clunky, warped images that the public were used to. The real watershed moment was the launch of OpenAI’s Sora. Sora not only created astoundingly high-quality videos, it was also capable of generating clips that could feasibly pass for r...

In this piece, we explore the key pitfalls of centralized compute for generative AI applications and app developers. Just as importantly, we outline a path for businesses to avoid those risks and secure their products through a novel decentralized model that leads to more reliable, cost effective, and scalable compute. The risks of centralization became all too clear in July, when a faulty Crowdstrike update sparked a worldwide outage for Microsoft clients worldwide. The cost to enterprises w...

The dawn of generative AI marks a tidal shift in video creation. The generative video sector has been accelerating rapidly since Open AI's Sora demos showed what is possible when the barriers to video creation are reduced to entering text prompts into AI. The top open-source AI video model Stable Diffusion grew to more than 10 million users in just two months. But the promising growth of AI video tools faces a serious challenge. The $49 billion GPU market that powers generative AI is con...

Hype cycles are intense. The mainstreaming of transformative technology inspires innovators and imitators alike, bringing forth grafters and grifters in equal measure. For those on the outside looking in, it can be hard to separate signal from noise; the startups that are changing the world from those that are just changing lanes. This is particularly true at the intersection of AI and web3, two genuinely novel technologies, each with the power to dramatically alter the way we work, communica...
