Hash Rate - Ep 152 - Loosh Subnet 78

Hash Rate Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from "World Models" to "Reasoning Models" marks the end of the LLM-as-chatbot era. Capital is migrating toward systems that prioritize deterministic safety over raw statistical probability.
  2. Integrate deterministic ontologies into your agentic workflows to stop hallucinations at the architectural level. Use graph databases to provide structure that vector search lacks.
  3. The winner of the robotics race won't have the best motors. They will have the most relatable, ethically sound "brain" that humans actually trust in their homes.
