man it’s like 1am and I just finished reading about this Mira thing and my brain is half fried but I can’t stop thinking about it
so they’re basically trying to make AI outputs “verified” using crypto… which sounds either genius or peak late cycle behavior, I honestly can’t tell anymore. AI already makes stuff up all the time, we all know that, and now the solution is to have other AIs check it and then put the result on a blockchain. that’s either the future or the most complicated group project ever.
I mean I get the problem. AI lies. confidently. like that one friend who never admits he doesn’t know something and just invents an answer. that’s not great if you’re letting it handle money or logistics or robots moving around in a warehouse. so yeah, verification makes sense. obviously. but does it need a token?
they break answers into little claims and have multiple models check them and then use economic incentives so validators don’t cheat. sounds clean when you say it fast. but crypto incentives… bro we’ve seen how that goes. people will farm anything. if there’s yield, someone will find a way to game it. I’ve literally watched protocols implode because someone figured out how to loop rewards in a way the whitepaper never imagined.
and consensus doesn’t mean truth. it just means agreement. if a bunch of models trained on similar data agree on something wrong… congrats, now you’ve decentralized the mistake. and it’s immortalized on-chain like some sacred error tablet.
but at the same time I can’t fully clown it. because if this actually works? it’s kinda big. like infrastructure big. imagine AI outputs coming with receipts. not just “trust me bro” energy but actual validation layers behind them. enterprises would eat that up. regulators too probably.
still though… performance. blockchains are not exactly known for speed under pressure. you’re telling me we’re going to verify AI in real time through consensus? unless most of it is off-chain and we’re just anchoring results. which is probably what they’ll do. which then makes me wonder how decentralized this really ends up being.
and the token. always the token. it helps bootstrap validators sure. but it also attracts pure speculators who don’t care about AI reliability at all. they care about price charts. and once price becomes the narrative, the mission gets warped. I’ve seen that movie way too many times.
I keep going back and forth in my head. part of me thinks this is actually addressing something real, not just slapping AI on a landing page. another part of me thinks we’re stacking abstractions on abstractions… AI verifying AI coordinated by blockchain verifying incentives. it’s like building a tower of referees to watch other referees.
maybe that’s necessary though. maybe that’s just where tech is going.
I don’t know. I’m not sold. I’m not dismissing it either. it feels like one of those projects that either quietly becomes core infrastructure in five years or just fades out after the hype cools and the incentives get messy.
right now it’s sitting in that weird zone for me. intriguing but risky. like ordering street food from a place that looks questionable but smells amazing. could be great. could ruin your week.
anyway I need sleep. but yeah… I’m watching this one. cautiously. very cautiously.
