I have some personal opinions on this and I know that other people find this area controversial to say the least. What are your thoughts on this? Where do we draw the line on what should be included or not?

Also projects around AI is also controversial to many people.

One of problem with blockchains/web3 is number of scam/ponzi schemes in this sphere and in general being running demonstration "that is why we have financial regulation".

Note that it is my personal opinion, but for web3/blockchain I am more in direction "kill it with fire" while I have no such reaction to AI projects.

Though I admit that there were some non-scam and worthwhile projects also on sphere of blockchains.

I guess I would advise very strict review of web3/blockchain stuff and quick rejection if things are suspicious? And accept only clearly reputable projects? Without total topic ban?

Agreed.

This sounds reasonable.
