## Quote — verbatim

> We're seeing quite a lot of AI projects in crypto popping up and getting listed and getting a lot of attention. Be aware of any of these — anything that has a GPT in the title generally is a scam... none of them have open source software. They're all closed, they're all mostly OpenAI API wrappers.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

His heuristics: no GitHub = scam; listed tokens should be open source "hands down"; legit projects (e.g., Bittensor) talk in trade-offs.
