Conversations with Crypto Gigabrains. Hosted by Tommy, Co-Founder and Founding Partner at Delphi Ventures
Join Pondering Durian as he explores the future of multi-agent systems with David Minarsch, co-founder of Valory AG and core contributor to OLAS. This deep dive covers:
- Why autonomous agents will drive blockchain adoption before humans
- The case for decentralized multi-agent systems over monolithic AI
- How OLAS enables user-owned vs rented AI capabilities
- The unique "Proof of Active Agent" mechanism for coordinating agent activity
- Building open agent economies from DeFi to prediction markets
- Creating data flywheels between agent activity and model training
- The path toward general-purpose autonomous AI agents
The discussion provides valuable insights into how decentralized networks could enable user-owned AI agents that do valuable work autonomously, rather than just serving as co-pilots.
"We want to give people general purpose, autonomous AI agents that do valuable things for them as they define." - David Minarsch

The Six Year Window: Making Money in the Exponential Age - A wide-ranging conversation between Kevin Kelly (Delphi Digital) and Raoul Pal exploring investment frameworks for an AI-driven future.
In this thought-provoking discussion, macro investor Raoul Pal shares his thesis on why we have roughly six years until AI and other exponential technologies fundamentally reshape the economy and society.
Key insights:
- Traditional macro investing frameworks may become obsolete as AI reshapes economic fundamentals
- The next 6 years represent a critical window to position for the new economic paradigm
- Technology and crypto represent the primary vectors for capturing value in the exponential age
- The intersection of AI and blockchain could enable new forms of economic activity and value creation
"We've got about six years, I put 2030 as a rough date when we don't begin to understand how anything works. And so therefore I would like to be on the other side of that protected." — Raoul Pal

In this thought-provoking discussion with Can Gurel (Delphi), the NEAR co-founders share insights on Illia's work co-authoring the groundbreaking "Attention is All You Need" paper that introduced transformers, their vision for user-owned AI and democratizing access to AI capabilities and more.
Key insights include:
- How NEAR's original focus on AI developer tools led them to discover the need for better payment infrastructure for distributed workforces
- Their framework for user-owned AI that optimizes for individual success rather than platform profits
- Technical challenges and solutions for distributed AI training and inference
- The importance of private computing for enabling user-controlled AI systems
The conversation provides valuable perspective on the intersection of AI and crypto from pioneers who have worked at the cutting edge of both fields, offering insights into how decentralized technologies could enable more democratic and user-centric AI development.
"The reality is we kind of have like a little bit of a model that some data we don't want to share... Your assistant will be able to help you with filing your taxes and finding ways to file receipts for expenses, and it will need to have access to all of this. What you don't want is all of this data end up leaking or showing up in somebody else's chat." — Illia Polosukhin, NEAR Protocol
