## Quote — verbatim

> Web3 and AI are a lot more related than we anticipate. I think the first thing we're doing with crypto is we're saving AI with chips, right? There's really no other solution... I think Web3 will also... add the rails to AI that's missing all the way from organization... human coordination, payments or value exchange.
