1/ All the AI and big data in the world, by itself, won't enable your company to win the 4th industrial revolution #4IR. Without #Chainlink, you're still under the Curse of Húrin. @jwolpert @pappas9999 @finrekt @ChainLinkGod @Crypto___Oracle @infoparity @Chainlink_INFO @chainlink

2/ In the Silmarillion, Morgoth, a fallen god, tortures Húrin by giving him the power to see and hear as he does....while chaining Húrin to a chair on a desolate mountaintop. Omniscience coupled with the inability to act on that knowledge. @adamdavidlong @pridesai @adelynzhou

4/ Observe = #Bigdata/ #IoT (all the buzzwords)

Orient = #AItrainingdata, #unsupervisedlearning

Decide = #AIAnalytics

Act = In business, acting usually means SENDING MONEY to a certain strategic market sector/segment/partner

Relating this all back to the Curse of Húrin.....

5/ .....without smart contracts/programmable money, AI and big data by itself results in OOD having a disconnect from A.

Whether it's Falon Fatemi's @Nodeio or #Tensorflow on AWS Sagemaker, most AI services are shaping up to be cloud-native and API-based. Which means....

3/ There is a well-known Chinese saying, 商场如战场, i.e. "business is a battlefield". In war, the party with the best OODA loop usually wins. Business is no different. In the automation-centric #4IR, it breaks down as follows... @EnclaveResearch @OpenLawOfficial @baselineproto

7/ Which leaves @chainlink @Smart_Contract as the only viable bridge.

Otherwise, you're stuck with humans manually invoicing everything. If your incredible AI generates 7,000 insights per hour for how to best spend your company's operating cashflow, the humans might only...

8/ .....be able to act on 3% of that. Making your business as hapless as Húrin. Omniscience with the power to act on little to none of your knowledge. All while your competitors with superior OODA loops leave your OOD + A in the dust.

9/ The future belongs to companies with a 1-to-1 insight-to-action ratio. It belongs to automated systems that think AND do, a marriage which can only be ordained and ministered by #Link.

The few who grasp this now are well-poised to run ahead of the crowd.

6/ To have a complete OODA loop and not get out-competed, you need a way to link APIs for AI/data warehouses with APIs for open banking/PSD2 payments. Machine learning insights married with truly programmable money. And a HIGHLY SECURE way to define the terms of that marriage..
