Bitcoin and AI
Two revolutionary technologies that are changing the world on their own.
But what happens when we combine them to create a symbiotic relationship?
(SPOILER: it's already happening)đ
As AI unlocks new levels of productivity and creativity, it could commodify bitcoin and make it more accessible, expanding its use & applications.
In turn, Bitcoin can complement AI's growth by serving as a payment tool for AI computation & imposing constraints on AI algorithms.
Early adopters of AI and bitcoin tools will have the opportunity to benefit disproportionately relative to those that come later.
Let's take a look at some early adopters.
There are two companies at the forefront of the bitcoin and AI symbiosis.
1. Stakwork
2. StatMuse
Stakwork is a crowdsourcing platform that allows users to complete automated microtasks for pay in bitcoin over the Lightning Network.
The platform combines human and AI input to complete tasks such as image processing.
A human living anywhere in the world can complete tasks.
StatMuse is an AI search and knowledge platform that uses natural language processing to provide users with data and intelligence.
Originally used to generate sports-related content & info through digital assistants, the company is now expanding into money and bitcoin content.
Both companies represent a trend of traditional tech companies expanding into bitcoin and thinking in terms of a bitcoin standard.
Let's expand upon applications in a world powered by AI and Bitcoin.
Here are a few theoretical applications:
1. One potential application is using AI to improve the user experience and adoption of the Lightning Network
AI could help with routing and pathfinding, channel and liquidity management, and privacy improvements for Lightning payments.
2. Another potential application is using AI to optimize Bitcoin mining operations by dynamically adjusting ASICs based on efficiency characteristics, hash price, and power costs.
3. AI services can be monetized through the Lightning network allowing for micropayments.
Let's take Chat GPT Plus as an example.
Paying 10 sats per search can be more attractive for users than paying a much more costly monthly subscription for unlimited searches.
4. A tech stack of the future consisting of Bitcoin, Nostr, and AI has potential.
A protocol with native bitcoin integration and built-in AI-powered digital assistants for censorship-resistant search, content creation, and knowledge acquisition can revolutionize social media.
Wrapping up this thread with one last consideration...
There is a serious threat of AI going rogue and creating dystopian outcomes.
Today, generative AI is powered by electricity and computers funded by unlimited fiat money.
In the future, Bitcoin's absolute scarcity could serve as an ultimate constraint on the infinite replication of AI.
On a global Bitcoin standard, proof of work will be required to finance the real-world costs powering the generative AI.
Simply put: no sats, no compute.
