“I prefer building in a bear market, selling in a bull market… it usually takes about one year of deep bear market to build, another year of narrative building in a bear market, so it usually takes two years between the cycles… none of the movements right now matters; what matters is what happens in two years.” — Greg Osuri, 01:03:16

“Anybody in the world can take up the spec and actually earn a decent living income. So now we are actually incentivizing developers that are stuck in fancy jobs at Facebooks and Googles… now we are solving a huge problem, which is attracting talent — we are attracting talent, we’re hiring talent by not hiring.” — Greg Osuri, 00:05:05

“Our security budget… comes from inflationary tokens… we pay higher price for lower security. But if I can optimize the security budget to have much better price for performance by borrowing Bitcoin security, I think we’ll be a lot better and a lot more secure chain. So I see a future where we can borrow Bitcoin security and pay relatively less than what we’re paying right now.” — Greg Osuri, 00:31:39

“You can compose different chains together to form different levels of security, different sources of security… I think we’re gonna see that sort of composability happen, and you pay higher price for securing higher valuable items, just like in the real world. I think that’s going to come to Cosmos as well.” — Greg Osuri, 00:05:00

“Ultimately it comes down to who’s actually writing the code, who’s actually controlling the website, who’s actually controlling the communications — those become the attack vectors. So if you can sufficiently decentralize these layers, you will be able to create a much, much better system when it comes to resiliency.” — Greg Osuri, 00:21:38

“They’re going to have their own ChatGPT moment in the next three months — they’re very very close, they did release a paper… a smart prediction now, you know: I think AI is going to have its web-3 moment very very soon.” — Greg Osuri, 00:46:44

“There’s an incredible amount of intellectual dishonesty — incredible, to a point… it starts at the top and it trickles down to the community… when people see comments like ‘Bitcoin solves world hunger’… that dishonesty is giving us as an industry a bad name and hurting people… The way you unlock community is through radical openness, because the more barriers you remove for trust, the higher network effects you get.” — Greg Osuri, 00:44:52

“I don’t like to use unnecessary buzzwords… just like when you use Uber you don’t talk about the internet. When you approach an AI user, they don’t care about blockchain or decentralization — they care about low cost, high quality resources… I try to use [the] minimum amount of words to describe the value prop in the quickest manner possible.” — Greg Osuri, 00:35:36

“My philosophy is: if you have 100 problems, solve 99 of them and give one for smart people to go solve, because once you give smart people opportunity, they will go build amazing things — and that’s how Kubernetes worked… it’s not [that] simplicity is the answer all the time… create great value and create opportunities for smart people to capture value and you’re going to create an amazing system.” — Greg Osuri, 00:23:26

“If you go to a hackathon in San Francisco, your biggest prize is API credits — that’s more valuable than money. Access to OpenAI API is more valuable than money right now… if you say the wrong thing, a wrong prompt, your access gets cut. So one company controlling that — is that the future that you want, or do you want the future where all of us have a say?” — Unknown, 00:30:08

“The way I use AI every day is as a programmer, I can write 10 times more code the same amount of time spent… it’s literally 10x.” — Greg Osuri, 00:30:48

“I think it’s way closer than what people anticipate… I think AGI is going to [come] faster.” — Greg Osuri, 00:36:31

“AI is going to fundamentally change everything.” — Greg Osuri, 00:27:11

“It’s going to be job loss, but I don’t think it’s going to be it dooms the scenario. I think we’re just going to produce more.” — Greg Osuri, 00:32:12

“I don’t think I write code anymore without AI assistance. I’ve been writing code for 25 years and… this is the first time I saw a fundamental shift in how we write code… my productivity as an engineer increased at least 10 times.” — Greg Osuri, 00:15:50

“Akash Network, along with other networks, have been being experimented [with] inside Department of Defense. I mean, DoD sees the value of Akash Network — they’re doing a proof of concept internally.” — Greg Osuri, 00:38:09

“You see a lot of fake, what do you call fake videos and AI generated videos that are going to take over. Video creation is extremely powerful now. Within a year, there’s no doubt it’s going to get [more] powerful. Incredibly hard for you to know what’s fake and what’s real. So there’s attribution.” — Greg Osuri, 00:29:03

“It’s not going to replace doctors, but it’s going to make them a lot more productive… in some cases even I saw ChatGPT doing way better than some of the doctors.” — Greg Osuri, 00:20:57

“If Akash is not successful in, let’s say, five years — if there’s no traffic, we haven’t met any thresholds that we need to meet in order to consider to be successful — we’ll move to Solana.” — Greg Osuri, 00:19:18

“If I had to do my predictions, very unlikely the Democrats are going to win again, considering what they did to the country.” — Greg Osuri, 01:17:49

“Unless you think you’re going to be with a company for at least 10 years, do not [start]. There’s no quick buck — there’s no launching a DeFi protocol and getting rich and getting out. Unless you signed up for 10 years, do not engage.” — Greg Osuri, 00:42:59

“Solidity is a very poorly designed language, and it’s very evident with all the exploits that we have today. It is a really poorly designed language — you don’t see the level of exploits you have with Solidity with any other language.” — Greg Osuri, 00:21:16

“Every failure can be attributed to closed and opaque models — think about it: FTX, Celsius, even Luna to a large degree… Don’t trust Twitter as much as you should trust GitHub… Let’s do a better job this time; let’s make better mistakes tomorrow.” — Greg Osuri, 00:59:17

“The amount of productivity we get is so high with AI. It’s unbelievable. And if you know how to use the right tools, chain them together, you can build incredibly effective and proficient, like, processes, right? I think AI, it makes a 10x engineer a 100x. It doesn’t negate for a need of humans, but it just makes humans better.” — Greg Osuri, 00:33:39

“I think the pattern is going to be like, if today, if you deem a doctor can serve up to 10 patients a day, tomorrow’s doctors will be able to serve up to a hundred patients a day. Right. I think doctors are not going to go away. I think they’re just going to get better with AI. And that means more accessible healthcare.” — Greg Osuri, 01:06:05

“I think this current overreach by the state is just temporary. Like, I don’t see this lasting in more than, you know, maybe a few years… Government tends to, you know, anything they deem to be a threat, they tend to take an adversarial position. And eventually, they learn that it’s actually helping them.” — Greg Osuri, 01:33:24

“I think a Bitcoin ETF is going to be a big trigger… then you need the cost of money to come down — the Fed pivoting to lowering interest rates… whenever these three things come together — you need [a] trigger, you need cost of money to go down, and you need these degeneracy patterns to come up — that comes a bull market. That’s my thesis.” — Greg Osuri, 01:15:33
