this thing was a fucking slog of bad ideas and annoying memes so I skimmed it, but other than the obvious (blockchains are way too inefficient for any of this to come even close to working), did the author even mention validation? cause if I’m contributing my own data and my own tags then I’m definitely going to either insert a whole bunch of nonsense into the model to get paid, or use an adversarial model to generate malicious data and weights and use that to break the model. the way crypto shitheads fix this is with a centralized oracle, which means all of this is just a pointless exercise in combining the two most environmentally wasteful types of grift tech ever invented
