294: Intuition Systems — Trust, Attestations & AI’s Garbage-In Problem
Manage episode 505931804 series 3012250
Billy, founder of Intuition Systems (ex–VC/early crypto), digs into the biggest risk in AI: models trained on garbage, regurgitated data and algorithm-shaped behavior. We unpack how attestations, signed data, and web-of-trust reputation can give both humans and AI better intuition at decision time — from picking a chair to routing agentic AI across platforms.
Timestamps
[00:00] We’re being shaped by algorithms; slop-in → slop-out AI
[00:02] Billy’s path: distributed systems, fintech, game bots, early Bitcoin
[00:05] The problem: fragmented info (web + people’s heads) & costly context-switching
[00:06] What Intuition is: structured expression + rediscovery + rewards
[00:08] Attestations & incentives (economic + reputational) without spam
[00:12] Can bots game it? Bonding curves, loss for bad signal, web-of-trust filters
[00:18] Best content should win: TikTok-style merit + trust primitives
[00:19] Use case #1: AI agents—personalization, agent reputation, platform reputation
[00:22] Why these reputations must be decentralized (avoid platform capture)
[00:23] GTM: unopinionated dev platform + opinionated apps to show PMF
[00:24] Biggest challenges: focus, hitting PMF, AI acceleration outpacing products
[00:27] Mission: give AI “intuition” via signed, attributed, reputational data
[00:28] Reducing AI’s recursive slop problem; verifiable attribution with keys
[00:30] Humans act differently per platform; algorithms distort expression
[00:33] Call to action: build at the AI × Web3 trust layer; join the community
[00:35] Layer Zero Ventures origins (people = Layer 0); why Intuition exists
[00:37] Events: Korea Blockchain Week & Token 2049; Intuition side events
