From Stanford to UT Austin, I’ve spent my career chasing one question: how do we gather and value the right data to make AI work in the real world? There are three battlegrounds in AI: Compute – Solved by Nvidia. Models – Rapidly commoditizing. Data – The last, unpriced frontier. Earlier this year, @sarickshah invited me to give a talk at @storyprotocol. I met @WhatTheLJW, @storysylee, and the team. The energy, clarity, and ambition were electric. What started as advising has now grown into much more. Today, we’re announcing @psdnai, incubated with @a16zcrypto: a decentralized data coordination layer for physical AI built on Story’s IP graph. Poseidon unlocks IP-cleared, human-labeled, long-tail data for robotics, vision, and healthcare with automatic attribution and royalties powered by @StoryProtocol. Data is the most promising subset of IP, and we’re building the infra to value it. More soon!
