BitRobot Thesis: Crowdsourcing Physical-World Entropy via Crypto Incentives
micoolcho · x · 2026-08-18
The author lays out a thesis for a "BitRobot Network": advancing physical AI requires exposing models to the full distribution of real-world data, yet robotics remains a very low-data regime — human physical behavior is System 1 (fast) thinking that was never precisely recorded, unlike internet content which is all System 2 output.
The proposal: use crypto incentives to build a global platform that scales the long tail of real-world edge cases, for both data collection and model evals — crowdsourcing entropy from the physical world.
