The machine economy provides perfect product market fit for the blockchain

One topic discussed in the @peaq robotics roundtable today

@dorloechter from Peaq shared that he believes there is no other system that can facilitate a global machine economy

Further on, during discussions with @diego_DDT_ from @OVRtheReality, they covered some other topics on this matter

> Robotics and physical AI haven't had their ChatGPT moment

ChatGPT was trained on data accumulated over decades of digital interaction and online documents, a huge library that is hard to replicate for physical AI

Physical AI requires multimodal, real-time sensor data (images, 3D spatial maps, etc) which is costly and difficult to collect

Unlike text-only LLMs, errors in physical AI are consequential, demanding data that accounts for the complex laws of physics

> On the other hand, decentralised infrastructure is perfect for this kind of data collection

As exemplified by OVR, they can incentivise their data collection with micropayments, across borders on a mass scale

They are even going to publicly publish some of their data imminently to contribute to open robotics

> Another point is machines being independent economic actors

Having permissionless financial systems and their own wallets means they can be independent and function without any middlemen, even doing what would be impossible in web2

> They also discussed that this could be what merges web2 and web3 into just the infrastructure

To be honest, I’ve noticed this effect myself

Compared to most sectors in web3, robotics and physical AI guys tend to be very well connected to the web2 side

Although they are often sceptical of the crypto tag, this is a bridge that can be fixed
