The coming wave of A.I. NFTs | why people are going ALL IN

Hey everyone so on this channel we Normally talk about nfts as essentially You know these lifeless jpegs and look i Like looking at static pixels as much as The next guy but we all know this is Just the beginning right and they can be So much more the reality is that nfts Can be attached to any digital file and So obviously we have images but it can Be music it can be movies or it can even Be just code yes in the future it’ll be Common for people to own the code that They created and whenever somebody goes To make an app they’re gonna find Libraries of these code snippets that You can plug into your app like lego Blocks in exchange for maybe some Royalty sharing to the people who made Them this is a form of open source but With super powered incentives because Everybody gets compensated for their Contributions and that’s very different Than how things work today where you Know you have companies like facebook Who will steal open source code plug it Into their billion dollar machine and Never compensate those who made it but You know what else is made up of code Artificial intelligence and this is Going to be one of those headline Stories that we see over and over Throughout this decade and there’s two Ways that i can see this playing out Okay either the ai gets taken behind a

Paywall you know it’s privatized by Large corporations or it’s democratized And made publicly available with the Proper incentives that compensate those That build it or finance it now not many People know this but we already have ai Nfts among us i don’t mean like in your Room right now but i mean on openc and People have been making a lot of money Trading these and so today we’re going To talk about nfts like asm brains and Fluffs because they’re about to enter a New phase with new air drops and Opportunities for people to get exposure So we are going to get into the specific Projects but first it’s worth giving an Update about where we’re at with ai in 2022. over the past few years we’ve seen Huge advancements in ai in many Different aspects okay and we’ve known That they’ve been dominating in gaming Right with chess and starcraft and just Yesterday they beat the top human Players in gran turismo which is a Racing game they’ve also been Instrumental in real life driving as Well and they’re even showing promising Signs in the biotech sector however There are some advancements that are More specific to nfts in the short term And those are one advancements in Natural language processing so ai Basically better understanding text or Speech and you can imagine this would be

Useful for personal assistants that can Help answer your questions two another Advancement is in speech recognition and Speech mimicking which when you combine With text-to-speech algorithms you can Basically make ai sound like anything You want by the way don’t forget to drop The people’s elbow on the smash button We gotta pump up those numbers and three Another advancement is in computer Vision so specifically gan which some People consider to be the closest thing Ais have gotten to being creative and if You’ve been in the nft space for a while You’ve probably seen these before but it Basically involves computers taking in Training data and then generating images Or artworks that resemble that data but Which can be tweaked in different ways So we’re reaching a point where multiple Ai applications are advancing in their Own fields and now we’re going to see Them combined to create these really Interesting use cases and so let’s talk About the next phase because this is Where things get really mind-blowing so Use case number one would be intelligent Agents in gaming and the metaverse in General and let me give you an example So today we have some popular virtual Worlds that people are calling the Metaverse right you have sandbox you Have the centroland and so on and one of The main critiques that these virtual

Worlds get is that they’re boring and They feel soulless now compare this to An old school mmo like world of warcraft That people tend to describe as being Full of life and one of the reasons is Because these worlds are filled with Characters even if you’re playing alone They have npcs everywhere and those have Stories and they engage with you because They’re programmed for that but worlds Like decentraland are all about User-generated content you know you buy Land and you find ways to build content On that land and so the landowners are The ones that have to populate these Worlds with npcs and the likely scenario Is that they’re going to use ai to do This and so instead of just programming A few lines you know word for word these Npcs are going to be able to learn and So they’ll appear more engaging and just More alive and as you’ll see in a second These npcs will be tradable nfts and so You can own them and you can train them Up any way you want eventually some of These will turn into sophisticated Companion nfts that people will love and Cherish and it reminds me of that movie From 2013 called her which was about a Lonely man who basically you know falls In love with his virtual assistant that Has artificial intelligence now that Movie is sort of depressing and in General most movies just paint ai in a

Bad light but there’s no doubt that some People will get joy out of their Companion nfts but before we get there Let’s talk about another use case which Is ai versus ai we’ve seen some examples Of this already with nfts specifically In games like zed run where you own a Horse that has some programmed stats and It goes up against other horses but this Is still just an early draft of what We’re gonna see in the coming years and I’m imagining full on you know machine Versus machine sports where you train up Your ai and match it up against other People’s ais and people are gonna watch These and they’re gonna place bets on it Because it’s still human versus human in A way if you think about the managers But the gameplay and the precision is Just gonna be so much higher than what Humans are capable of it reminds me of Those old robot war tv shows that were Popular back in the day except this is Going to play out in the digital space And the robots are also going to be Tradable and they’re going to turn into Almost investment assets because they Can earn money for their managers from Competitions and finally another Category is going to be human versus Machine and the assumption here is that You know ai is just going to be a part Of every type of competition on the Internet going forward and so it’s

Futile to even try to stop it and so the Next best thing is to democratize it and Make it available for other people to Train their own bots okay so that’s a Glimpse of where we’re heading and there Are a few projects trying to tackle it But the one i want to highlight today is Altered state machine or asm for short So in a nutshell asm is building a Protocol that lets people own and Monetize ai using nfts and they’ll do This by letting you own the code behind The ai itself and then you can inject That code into any form you want but Usually those forms are going to be 2d Or 3d characters in virtual worlds so Specifically how it works is you buy a Brain which is a container that comes With a base set of code and some Attributes that are randomly assigned And some attributes could be rarer than Others and they determine proficiencies That the ai might have in certain Domains and how fast they can learn Different things the second part of the Brains are the memories and these are Just things that the ai learns over time Whether that’s through experience or Through training models and the memories Are entities themselves that basically Get appended to the code and you create Sort of a memory tree that shows how the Ai evolves over time and then finally You have the forms and these are going

To be just the sleeves that you inject The ai into and theoretically it can Take any form and in the near term we’ll See people take their profile pic nfts Like board apes give them ai so that They can do things on their own in the Metaverse now keep in mind i’m doing a Speed run through everything and just Giving you the simplified version but Here we can see how they describe the Main components of their tech so you Have the form and this is your skin you Know your cosmetic attributes and you Can use an existing nft such as amoebic You have the brain and this is the core Of each agent and you can see on the Right that this is made up of the base Genome matrix plus the memory tree and Then finally you have the memories Themselves which are machine learned Trained models and so essentially if i Wanted to create say giancarlo world Here are the steps that i would take to Integrate with asm so first i would Create the actual game itself and then i Would develop expressions that map onto The genome matrix of the brains so for Example this could mean tapping into the Speed component of the brains if i’m Doing some kind of athletic game or it Can be the intelligence if it’s a chat Based experience you can also have Expressions for different components of The game and so you know if it’s world

Of warcraft a player might have Intelligence when it comes to trading But they might have less strength when It comes to fighting and then once i Have all that set up i just need to Introduce the forms that people are Gonna use with their ai so i can say hey Guys i’m creating avatars for the top 10 Nft collections and so if you have a Crypto punk come on down to john carla World and use your wallet to claim your 3d crypto punk and then you can just Plug that into your ai and then you as a Player will have a way to attach your Brain to your crypto punk model and that Doesn’t mean that you know you’re not Limiting that brain to just john carla World because the way they set it up you Can use a brain in multiple applications Now remember these ais can actually be Trained up using what they call gyms and These are basically you know a gpu That’s running some machine learning for Your ai at first i think asm is gonna be Running the gyms themselves but the Vision is that it should be Decentralized and everybody’s gonna be Able to run their own gym and manage it Out for other people and as you train Your brain and it becomes more valuable Presumably it’ll fetch a higher price on Secondary markets so for example if i Build up my ai to have really fast Reaction speed and then somebody

Develops a sports game where they have Real money competitions they might want And they might value my brain because it Gives them an edge and this creates an Entire economy where people just keep Developing crazier and crazier ais and Now this isn’t just theoretical asm has Actually been developing a game called Afa all-stars which is a soccer game Where you create a team of ais that Battle against other teams made by other Players and you can actually buy the Forums for these players on open seat Today alright so that’s the general idea But how do people expect to make money Well there’s a few ways and first you Can just buy the brains themselves Currently there are only 10 000 genesis Brains and as you’ll see in a second There are more brains coming but the Originals are always going to get Rewarded the most because they’re the Early adopter nfts and so this is why They’re currently a bit pricey at about 4 8. so these brains have already gone Up in price a good amount but we’re Close to the second phase which is when They release their token which is called Asto or asto and these tokens are going To be used for training and so whenever You train up a brain you have to pay a Fee and asto and you can also use them To mine for new brains now all the Genesis brains will be able to claim

Some asto token when it gets released But everybody else can only get it Either through rewards or by buying it On the secondary market and so the bold Case is fairly simple okay as more Applications start to use the asm Protocol it’s gonna bring more demand For the token and the brains themselves If we look at afa all-stars for example They can have up to 40 000 all-stars Playing the game and they all need a Brain but today we only have 10 000 Brains and so if that becomes a big hit Then you can see that driving a lot of Demand for the token to then create more Brains and that’s just one example but Asm is also joining up with other nft Projects like fluffworld which also has An entire ecosystem built around it you Know beyond the scope of the topic today But maybe it deserves its own video Because they have fluffs and party bears And then they now have burrows which are Like individual plots of land in this Virtual world that they’re building and They’re even partnering up with snoop Dogg and there are rumors that they Might be partnering up with board a Yacht club down the road again that Could be its own entire video down the Road but just know that fluff is going To contribute to that supply shock for The asto token now to be fair asm isn’t The only one tackling this ai and ft

Revolution another example is olefio if I’m pronouncing that correctly which Sold the first intelligent nft last year For a half a million dollars but i do Think asm has the most robust ecosystem At the moment so there you have it do Your own research i personally haven’t Bought in yet although i might with this Afa all-star thing because i’m a big Soccer fan and that just sounds awesome But the risk here is that when you’re Dealing with deep tech it becomes harder For you to do your own due diligence Into the quality of you know the neural Nets and everything like that it’s Certainly beyond what i’m capable of gut Checking myself but the team is solid And docks with a long track record of Experience and their plan is to be as Open source as possible when they fully Launch the protocol alright guys that’s It for today thanks for watching and I’ll catch you at the next video
