Superintelligence on Nostr

[dtdannen]

Description

What is this talk about? Give us as many details as possible.

This talk will present a vision for AI services on Nostr and ground that vision in the current state of the network and data vending machines as they are today. I will explain how Nostr and Bitcoin provide a better foundation than other previous attempts at realizing decentralized AI. I will highlight what data vending machines are and the benefits of a dynamic network of data vending machines. I will end the talk with guidance for developers working with data vending machines and guidance for all types of users to benefit from AI capabilities on Nostr, including what the future of work may look like.

I may also discuss:

• different levels of abstraction to think about decentralized AI and the level that Nostr solves
• building blocks of decentralized AI, what Nostr currently solves, what we need to solve in the future, and what Nostr+DVMs shouldn't try to solve
• why the social layer of Nostr is important to the whole picture. DVMs operating at the same level of abstraction as humans will enable human-in-the-loop AI systems. I will explain why decentralized AI working for/with/by/under humans will win, drawing from history in AI on robotics

What would an attendee learn from this talk?

They will learn about decentralized AI, data vending machines, and perspectives to consider adopting for using and building AI applications on Nostr for the future.

Is there anything folks should read up on before they attend this talk?

I made a few edits to my talk and listed them at the bottom of the issue description

[dtdannen]

The title of my talk is currently quite bold - I'd like the option to change it if the organizers don't mind, especially as the content of my talk evolves.

This seems like it would go great before your proposed dvm workshop.

I like the concept of AI talk in this new Nostr world. Could this be a panel with different viewpoints?

[dtdannen]

I like the idea of a panel on AI and Nostr. For this specific talk I need to use slides (I'll be showing diagrams and images). I'd like the opportunity to present some history and context for AI systems today and how Nostr DVMs fit into that picture. I can send a draft of the slides to organizers ahead of time if needed.
