The AI arms race just entered its Data War phase. After Meta bought 49% of Scale AI for $14B, major AI labs started pulling contracts. Why? Because no one wants their entire model pipeline bottlenecked by a single player - especially when it’s half-owned by Meta. That fracture in trust is a blessing in disguise for blockchain-native AI infra. Just weeks later, @a16zcrypto backed a new player in the same arena: @psdnai Raised $15M to rebuild that critical data layer but with way better fundamentals: ▸ Data sourced globally ▸ Labeled, cleaned, registered as IP ▸ Licensed and monetized via @StoryProtocol $IP This isn’t just about selling labeled datasets. It’s about building an open, composable data layer that models can trust, license from, and contribute to - all onchain. So yeah, safe to say Data is the new Gold , considering how giants are literally fighting over it lol. Also the alpha here is not fading something with real PMF and a16z backing. If there’s a way to interact with @psdnai, you interact.
