Shriram Krishnamurthi: maximize verified hw+sw stacks while the AI money cannon is on
iskander · x · 2026-10-24
Brown University PL researcher Shriram Krishnamurthi argues the field should maximize the provable output extracted from AI while the funding boom lasts.
He likens the moment to early-days Uber — except the benefits are '100x more tangible': a fully-verified hardware+software stack would be 'gold everyone can share without having to divide it.' His framing: treat the current money cannon as a generational opportunity to fund rigorous, verifiable work with lasting shared value rather than short-term arbitrage.
