The most valuable attribute of AI systems is loyalty.

Whether an agent is loyal to you (acting in your best interests) or someone else (eg the organisation that owns the agent/model).

@NEARProtocol ‘s User Owned AI provides verifiable loyalty guarantees (verifiable training and inference + censorship resistance), so you can be sure an agent/system is really *yours*. The value of this cannot be understated.

These agents will be influencing and coordinating almost every aspect of our lives far sooner than most people expect, looking after our financial, physiological and social health.

Without these loyalty guarantees, the worst excesses of Web2 user exploitation will just be the tip of a disastrous iceberg in the AI age.

This is a risk with all AI services provided by corporates with a profit-maximisation mandate. Ads are just the start.

The Big Tech incentive model requires the monetisation of everything about users (you), and the models act not in your best interests but in whatever way delivers profit-maximisation for the company and it's shareholders.

The only way you can *really* trust your AI is if it's User-Owned. This is what @near_ai & @NEARProtocol are building.

AI you can trust, AI that is truly *yours*.

Ads are coming to AI. But not to Claude. Keep thinking.

this is one of the most fun 0-1 moments in crypto

realizing you can have a private SoV in the largest private pool and making cross chain payments/swaps to any chain or token with a single click as needed while remaining invisible

this is what crypto was supposed to be
