Not likely. The research folks were highly skeptical of crypto from the start, but not the latest AI advances. The AI is a fundamental technology that was developed by the scientific method and can be empirically examined right now. Crypto is an application of 1980s technology with the hope that it will gain momentum as a currency with enough marketing.
Yes, they are very much skeptical.
Lol, what??? ๐
LLMs can be traced back to steady, incremental progress from an initial approach explored in the '70s. Cryptocurrency isn't technology itself, but an application of the concept of distributed consensus (pioneered with PAXOS in the 80s), just like chatbots are applications of AI. I'm much more optimistic about AI and distributed consensus than cryptocurrency and chatbots, if I'm making sense.
Lol. Still not what the scientific method is.
