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
