Jeremy Allaire just casually said in the a16z chat that the primary users of Arc will probably be AI
then he mentioned the weirdest thing he’s seen on it so far
someone put a real fruit fly brain on Arc
not a model of one
the actual connectome (BANC v888) — 169k neurons, real wiring, running as a spiking network inside contracts on mainnet
gas paid in $USDC
you can replay the thoughts and verify them byte-for-byte
they even hatched a whole population of digital flies with genetics, inheritance, and an on-chain economy around it
most chains are still arguing about gas and TVL
on Arc people are already running biological neural computation because the fees are predictable and finality is instant
that’s the part that doesn’t feel like normal crypto to me
machines (and apparently flies) might actually prefer this chain 🩷
