SUMMARY: Jacob Steeves, co-founder of Bittensor, retraces his path from early AI research and discovering Bitcoin’s decentralized power to designing a blockchain that incentivizes open, permissionless AI development. He explains how Bittensor’s miner–validator economy generalizes proof-of-work for subjective machine learning outputs, enabling a growing ecosystem of subnets without pre-mines or centralized control. The interview also touches on his personal philosophy around anti-fragility, decentralization, and finding balance while building a global AI network from rural Peru.
