Paradigm VC broadening crypto-only focus to areas including AI

Correct. Hence the existence of Worldcoin and NFTs. Eventually, open source AI's will proliferate in the end and almost everything digital will be faked. Hence: Don't trust, verify.

There's a reason why Worldcoin chose Ethereum and it is simple: Soulbound NFTs [0]: i.e Non-transferrable mint-only NFTs which is the so-called antidote against the possibility of AI faking almost everything and Worldcoin will be used for KYC iris-scanning on humans.

While both crypto and AI are beyond dystopian technologies, it would be a mistake for one to underestimate the importance of both of them and especially crypto being involved with aiding verification (with something like Worldcoin) on the blockchain against AI possibly ruining everything.
