The Agent Network — Dharmesh Shah, Agent.ai + CTO of HubSpot

Latent Space

AI

Key Takeaways:


1. Agents Evolve into Teammates: Shift perspective from agents as mere tools to digital collaborators within hybrid teams, requiring platforms like Agent.ai for discovery and interaction.


2. Engineer Pragmatically, Vibe Code: Lean towards under-engineering; AI reduces refactoring costs, making it cheaper to pay down tech debt later than to over-invest in unused abstractions now.


3. Unlock Networks with Standards & Memory: Prioritize building blocks like the mCP standard and tackle the critical challenge of secure, shared, cross-agent memory to enable true agent collaboration.

Hash Rate - Ep 103: 'It's AI' $TAO Subnet 32

Hash Rate pod - Bitcoin, AI, DePIN, DeFi

AI

Key Takeaways:


1. Niche Focus Wins: Its AI demonstrates the power of specializing in one thing (AI text detection) within the BitTensor ecosystem, achieving leading accuracy and carving out a clear market position.


2. Ecosystem Arbitrage: There's a significant valuation gap between BitTensor AI projects (like Its AI or ReadyAI) and comparable VC-funded companies (GPTZero, Scale AI), suggesting potential upside once accessibility improves.


3. The Bridge is Coming: Easier access via wrapped tokens or user-friendly platforms bridging BitTensor to chains like Solana/Ethereum is the critical next step for unlocking subnet value and attracting mainstream capital.
