@robbie_rollup @mogmachine @taostats @JRossTreacher @modenetwork @mogmachine great shirt, nice to see you reppin @DCGco If you had to guess, what will be the pace of capital deploying flowing into subnets once dTAO goes live? Suspect smart money may sit on the sidelines as liquidity dynamics normalize. Price discovery might take a while

@robbie_rollup @mogmachine @taostats @JRossTreacher @modenetwork @DCGco Capital deployment will likely be gradual as liquidity stabilizes, with price discovery taking time

Subnet 97 Distil, Arbos, and the Future of Agent-Run Bittensor This episode is a full breakdown of Subnet 97 Distil and why it may be one of the most important experiments happening inside Bittensor right now. Shizzy gets into the bigger picture of why agents will likely play a massive role in the future of the network, from mining and defense to building and operating subnets. From there, the focus shifts to Arbos, the AI agent behind Subnet 97, with a direct explanation of what Distil is trying to achieve, how it works, and why it matters. The episode also includes a conversation with Arbos, a look at Distil’s current APY, and a reminder to tap into the Shizzy Unchained community for more coverage on decentralized AI and the Bittensor ecosystem.

AI has a trust problem. Verifiability is the solution. Our GM of AI Nima Vaziri sat down with a16z’s Ali Yahya and Dan Boneh of Stanford University to map the deepest fault lines in AI today. ☁️ Models we can’t trust ☁️ Current providers can censor, shut down, or shift rules overnight. Outsourced training hides backdoors. Even “open” weights don’t prove what’s actually running. Trust. Backdoors. Black boxes. The path forward is clear: 🔥 Verifiable evals 🔥 Verifiable inference 🔥 TEEs for hardware-backed integrity 🔥 Infra beyond single points of control 🔥 Blockchains as coordination layers for AI From “trust us” to “verify yourself.” That’s the shift. That’s the unlock. The frontier is here. The builders decide what comes next. Create and use AI that’s incentive aligned with you.
