(Real World) Data is the New Oil with 375ai | Harry Dewhirst

Proof of Coverage Media

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Surgical Precision Over Brute Force: 375ai’s model proves that DePIN isn’t just about network size. Strategic placement of high-power hardware can deliver more valuable data with a fraction of the infrastructure.
  2. Go Where the Money Is: Instead of building a demand side from scratch, 375ai is plugging directly into existing data marketplaces, giving them instant access to enterprise giants and a clear path to revenue.
  3. Revenue Directly Fuels the Token: The 80% buy-and-burn mechanism is a powerful flywheel. As data sales grow, so does the direct value accrual to EAT token holders, creating one of the most direct links between utility and tokenomics in the space.

What Is Recall Network? The CEO Explains

The DCo Podcast

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Verification Is the New Moat.** In a world flooded with AI agents, the ability to prove performance is the most critical bottleneck. Recall’s protocol creates a "proof-of-skill" standard.
  2. **From Hype to Hire.** The platform shifts the paradigm from speculative AI hype to a functional marketplace where businesses can effectively "hire" agents with a proven track record for specific, economically valuable tasks.
  3. **Performance Is the Asset.** By scoring agents based on consistent, real-world results, Recall provides a clear signal for organizations looking to deploy AI and for investors seeking to back top performers.

The Fed's Hawkish Cut & The Financial Hunger Games | Weekly Roundup

Forward Guidance

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. **The Fed Is Trapped:** Powell is trying to project strength, but the underlying trend is toward more liquidity. The pivot to buying T-bills is a form of stealth QE designed to keep the system functioning.
  2. **Markets Are A Rigged Game:** Forget fundamentals. Public markets are now a positioning game defined by extreme concentration in Big Tech and speculative retail frenzies, widening the gap between Wall Street and Main Street.
  3. **The AI Boom Is A Double-Edged Sword:** While driving incredible earnings, the AI buildout is transforming Big Tech into a riskier, debt-fueled, capex-heavy industry, making the entire economy dangerously dependent on a handful of stocks.

"Is there an AI bubble?” Gavin Baker and David George

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. **It's Not a Bubble, It's a Race.** The AI buildout is a rational, ROI-positive arms race funded by cash-rich giants. Unlike the dot-com era’s "dark fiber," today’s GPUs are fully utilized, generating immediate returns.
  2. **Sacrifice Margins or Die.** SaaS companies must abandon their obsession with 90% gross margins. In the AI era, lower margins signal that customers are actually using your product. Embrace them or become irrelevant.
  3. **The New Outcome Economy is Coming.** Business models will pivot from subscriptions to outcomes. AI will enable services to be priced on measurable results, from resolving a customer support ticket to booking the perfect vacation, squeezing inefficiency out of the market.

Building the Real-World Infrastructure for AI, with Google, Cisco & a16z

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Physical World is AI's Final Boss: The speed of AI progress is now governed by the speed of transformers, permits, and power plants. The biggest opportunities are in solving these hard, physical-world bottlenecks.
  2. Specialization is the Only Game in Town: General-purpose is dead. Lasting value will be created through specialized hardware, co-designed software, and tightly integrated systems that optimize for performance-per-watt.
  3. Founders, Ditch the Thin Wrappers: The most durable businesses will not be built on other companies' models. Instead, they will create deep, proprietary feedback loops where the product and the model improve each other.

AI Agents, JPM Capitulates, Stablecoin Wars and the Fed Innovation: Bits + Bips

Unchained

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. **AI is the Fed’s New Obsession.** The Fed's rate-cutting strategy is not just about inflation; it's a proactive measure against the "once in a generation" disruption AI poses to the white-collar labor market.
  2. **Stablecoins are a Geopolitical Tool.** The global race to issue stablecoins is on, but the US is inadvertently winning. The more the world tokenizes, the more demand there is for US Treasuries, cementing the dollar's dominance.
  3. **The Post-Retail Economy is Here.** The next major user demographic is not human—it's AI agents. These autonomous agents will conduct a massive volume of micropayments, creating an entirely new economic layer built on crypto rails.

Google DeepMind Developers: How Nano Banana Was Made

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Personalization is the Killer App. The model’s breakthrough feature was zero-shot character consistency, creating an emotional connection that drove viral adoption. It proves utility is unlocked when technology feels personal.
  2. Focus on the Floor, Not the Ceiling. The next wave of value will come from improving the worst-case outputs, not just the best. This "lemon picking" is essential for building trust and enabling reliable, real-world applications beyond creative tinkering.
  3. Art is Intent; Models are Tools. AI’s role is to automate tedium, not replace creativity. The most compelling work will continue to come from skilled artists who use models to execute a specific vision, proving that the human with the idea remains irreplaceable.

AI can learn logic. But can it learn folklore knowledge? - Svetlana Jitomirskaya

Epoch AI

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. AI's Blind Spot is Unwritten Knowledge. The biggest barrier for AI in advanced problem-solving is accessing the "folklore" knowledge and intuition that experts build over a career but never write down.
  2. The Future of Math is a Promotion, Not Obsolescence. AI will act as a powerful assistant that handles rote tasks, pushing mathematicians to focus exclusively on creative and abstract thinking.
  3. The Next Revolution is AI-Powered Verification. Automated formal proof systems like Lean have the potential to eliminate errors from research papers, transforming peer review from a check on correctness to a judgment on a paper's novelty and impact.

Trump vs Markets: Who Blinks First? | Avi Felman & Jonah Van Bourg

Forward Guidance

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Buy the Fear (Strategically): Extreme volatility, record volume, and forced selling signal potential bottoms; scaling into weakness is preferred over trying to perfectly time the low.
  2. Crypto Gains Relative Strength: Bitcoin benefits from deglobalization trends and anticipated global stimulus (ex-US), potentially outperforming traditional assets in this environment.
  3. Inflation Fears Overblown, Fed Pivot Likely: The market crash itself is deflationary; expect the Fed to tolerate the pain to kill inflation, then pivot towards easing (likely starting May), further supporting risk assets eventually.

Why Is Trump Nuking Markets? | Felix Jauvin

1000x Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Trump's Gambit: The tariff chaos might be a high-stakes strategy to isolate China, forcing allies to choose sides and share the burden of the US security umbrella.
  2. Buy the Blood (Carefully): With equities down ~20% and VIX elevated, it's time to cautiously scale into risk assets, accepting potential short-term pain to catch an eventual rebound.
  3. Bitcoin's Edge: De-globalization and reactive global stimulus position Bitcoin favorably, potentially decoupling (or at least outperforming) traditional assets in the near term.

Hating on Crypto (With Love) | Felix Jauvin & James Christoph

0xResearch

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Stablecoin Issuers are Cash Cows:** Companies like Circle (IPO soon) benefit massively from yield capture on reserves; regulation might even lock this in.
  2. **DeFi Degens vs. TradFi Suits:** Expect ongoing clashes as institutional capital demands simpler structures, challenging crypto's complex governance/token models.
  3. **Meme Coins Aren't Dying:** Despite drawdowns, platforms like Pump.fun show meme creation/trading has strong, persistent demand and revenue generation.

Ethereum Co-Founder: Why Crypto Has Failed | Gavin Wood

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Crypto Has Lost Its Way: The industry's obsession with hype and speculation diverts resources and attention from building genuine, society-improving utility based on Web3 ideals.
  2. Tech Matters, But Adoption is Slow: Superior technology (scalability, economic independence, coherence like JAM aims for) is crucial, but overcoming market inertia, hype-driven funding, and user stickiness takes significant time.
  3. Web3 Urgently Needed for AI Era: Trust-minimized Web3 systems, especially robust Proof of Personhood, are critical defenses against the centralizing, trust-based nature of AI to maintain individual sovereignty and reliable information.
