The following is a guest post from John deVadoss, Co-Founder of the InterWork Alliancez.
The crypto universe is currently obsessed with generative AI, with the notion of “Agents,” putatively powered by crypto “rails” and coordinated via on-chain smart contracts. This is not a good idea for the simple reason that one cannot build “Agents” on the stochastic quicksand that is a Large Language Model (LLM). LLMs have a role to play with respect to the creative generation of ideas and content (e.g., code); however, the same creativity manifests via malicious latent behavior, i.e., deception. Caveat venditor.
It is also in vogue to discuss quantum computing—towards post-quantum encryption and “futureproofing” crypto protocols. Elliptic-curve cryptography, as currently implemented, is a risk, yes; however, much of the remaining surface area is at best subject to polynomial scale threats, and access to quantum will likely result in lifting all boats (e.g., Proof of Work become
