# AI (soft shill) **Published by:** [Cap](https://paragraph.com/@thecap/) **Published on:** 2025-01-16 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@thecap/ai-soft-shill ## Content We’re at a crossroads here folks! Years from now, we’ll look back and realize the biggest move was simply to invest in AI16Z, Virtuals, Zerebro, or any AI framework/OS that's emerging now, and then watch it reshape everything. This is our generation’s Microsoft/Apple/Facebook/Google moment, but bigger and more revolutionary! This is that window of opportunity all over again. Except this time, the mission is even more meaningful: empowering society through AI+crypto that’s driven by the MANY, not the few. This is a very unique moment in time and a unique combination of multiple factors that will make this AI movement like something we've never experienced before. The combination of:decentralization (coordinated, community-led, egalitarian, and open development efforts towards equitable internet),crypto financial incentive/inclusion (real skin in the game through investments in projects you believe or contribute to, and making life-changing money),memetic value (memes as powerful attention-grabbing + community-forming mechanisms that spark global interest and create virality),AI innovation and development (it's simply AI's time and it's the natural step in technological evolution)...all of these forces converging and making this a perfect storm!, makes something unique that AI stands to benefit from most! I don't know about you, but I'm not waiting on the sidelines. Whether you’re investing your money, your time, your dev skills, your creativity, or educating people about it, the payoff, both financially and for the future of humanity, could be enormous. 🫡 ## Publication Information - [Cap](https://paragraph.com/@thecap/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@thecap/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@thecap): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TheCapHimself): Follow on Twitter
