Sam Altman pushes back on the "AI = industrial revolution" framing.
His take: it's more like a new renaissance.
Why it matters for crypto:
- Industrial revolution = replace workers, centralize power
- Renaissance = empower creators, decentralize value
If he's right, the intersection of AI + crypto gets way more interesting. Think:
- AI agents with wallets
- Permissionless compute markets
- On-chain AI inference
The narrative shift matters. Industrial revolutions built monopolies. Renaissances built culture.
Which one do you think we're heading into? đ§
