Internet Computer

Are you an expert in a certain field? Now, you can rent out your expertise and get paid every time someone uses it, whether you are a chef, accountant, designer, or dog trainer. Just package your expertise once, and you can earn income around the clock through artificial intelligence. People can benefit from your knowledge, just like a brain version of Airbnb: you own the knowledge, they pay to use it, and you leverage your existing skills to earn passive income.
Even if you stop working, your brain won't stop making money.
Professional skills are everywhere, but no one can afford them.

You don't feel much about Web3 anymore, do you?
That's normal. You've watched K-lines, experienced rug pulls, and heard KOLs saying 'this time it's different.' You've seen a bunch of people raise fifty million dollars, create a project homepage, and then disappear. You've observed 'Don't trust, verify' change from a cryptographic principle into a neon sign at the casino entrance.
To be fair, your judgment isn't wrong. Ninety-nine percent of this mess is a bubble, but the problem is that the remaining one percent is real; it's just that no one has finished it.
What Web3 initially promised has nothing to do with tokens; it promised that your stuff is yours.

Core Ideas
Dominic Williams elaborated on the vision of the 'Internet Computer' - a 'sovereign cloud' powered by AI-written software. This decentralized platform built from scratch aims to make applications unstoppable and immune to traditional network attacks. With the advent of the AI programming era, users only need to describe their needs in natural language, and AI can build and deliver applications on the underlying platform. This model brings hopes of decentralization and resistance to censorship, but it also raises deep concerns about uncontrolled AI operating on unstoppable infrastructure.

A $15 billion attack on random numbers
In October 2025, when the U.S. government seized 127,271 bitcoins, the crypto world went into panic, 'Has Bitcoin been cracked?' 'Can the government crack private keys?'
The truth is simpler but scarier: the Lubian wallet used 32-bit entropy instead of 256-bit, and an RTX 4090 graphics card can crack these keys in just 4 seconds.
The problem is not with Bitcoin itself, but with the poor random numbers.
This disaster revealed the hidden truth of cryptocurrency: your security entirely depends on the quality of the random number generator, and most wallets are just one poor random number away from complete compromise.

The government of Pakistan is taking steps to lower the barriers for its entrepreneurs to build AI-native applications, allowing them to operate without relying on Western cloud megaservice providers.
Importance: If successful, this initiative could serve as a model for other emerging economies looking to kickstart AI growth while keeping sensitive data stored within national networks, protecting it from foreign hostile forces.
News Highlights: The Digital Management Authority of Pakistan signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday with the DFINITY Foundation, based in Switzerland.
This move will enable DFINITY's Caffeine (an AI platform that allows people to build software applications using natural language prompts, significantly reducing the need for traditional coding expertise) to be used by Pakistan's large and growing community of entrepreneurs.

Islamabad, Pakistan and Zurich, Switzerland - The Pakistan Digital Authority (PDA) and the DFINITY Foundation today signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at advancing the development of Pakistan's autonomous AI-native digital infrastructure, ensuring that sensitive data remains domestic while creating secure, modern software systems built for the AI era.
As part of the collaboration, DFINITY will support the creation of a dedicated Pakistan subnet on its Internet Computer Platform (ICP), which is a sovereign cloud designed to host tamper-proof software, national-level applications, and AI-driven systems that can be created and operated independently of foreign cloud infrastructure.
