Trends from the Trenches boiler: Bio-IT World’s Trends from the Trenches podcast delivers your insider’s look at the science, technology, and executive trends driving the life sciences through conversations with industry leaders. BioTeam co-founder Stan Gloss brings years of industry experience in science, data, and technology to conversations exploring what is driving data and discovery, and what’s coming next.

From technological breakthrough to philosophical defiance, the topic of AI has always sparked intense debates ever since Alan Turing & John McCarthy advanced this branch of computer science. One might argue that this was caused by expectations overwhelmingly surpassing technological capabilities. However, the recent public release of ChatGPT has rekindled former sci-fi apocalyptical scenarios, even if it is (still) just a trained language model. Humanity gazed in awe as a simple input/output text interface could instantly disrupt fields such as software engineering or copywriting. Worst part? It also challenged (arguably) the most important human-specific trait: creativity (Midjourney). Data is the lifeblood of AI as it increases the model’s prediction accuracy: larger input sample translates into more outputs that help fine-tune weights during back-propagation cycles (the model ‘learns’).

We were joined by Trent McConaghy, founder & CTO at Ocean Protocol, to discuss the advantages of implementing blockchain (& NFT) technology in data management and trading, what makes a particular data set valuable and what challenges derive from AI implementations and the data digital gold rush.

Topics covered in this episode:

• Trent’s AI background & founding Ocean
• The evolution of Ocean Protocol
• Managing third-party access to data NFTs
• Minting data NFTs & their metadata
• Discovering & verifying data quality
• AI generated data sets & intellectual property
• Ocean marketplace user base
• Data farming
• Data curation & veOcean rewards

At 7am PDT August 24, 2021, Project Galaxy launched its "Shadowy Super Coder" NFT Perks Campaign for over 100,000 eligible blockchain developers along with the sponsorship partners Tenderly, Alchemy, Polygon, Gitcoin, Ankr, Parsiq, Torus, Quicknode, Curvegrid, and OneKey. The perk package for the eligible developers includes a specially-designed Shadowy Coder NFT, and various exclusive perks that are worth more than $300 million USD.

I got to know the team at Project Galaxy at the beginning of 2021. Started as a user engagement NFT module platform, over the past few months Project Galaxy launched  many campaigns with protocol partners on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and others. 

In this episode I discussed with Harry about the current use cases of Project Galaxy, and the community's feedbacks on the campaigns. He shared with us about how these user engagement campaigns can be scaled to a permissionless process. We further discussed  the "Shadowy Super Coder" campaign, what this campaign meant for Project Galaxy's users (projects), and the next step for more projects to use Galaxy as a targeted marketing module. We compared the decentralized versus centralized approach for data curation, and where Harry believed the future would look like. We also talked about the social apps and what Harry believes to be pivotal for the Web 3.0 social apps. 

For anyone who's keen with the on-chain credentialing / decentralized data-curation space, you should tune in this episode.

我在 2021 年初认识了 Project Galaxy 的团队。Project Galaxy 从做一个用户荣誉体系的 NFT 发布模块平台开始，在过去几个月中，Project Galaxy 与以太坊和币安智能链上的协议合作伙伴发起了许多活动。在这一集中，我与 Harry 讨论了 Project Galaxy 的当前用例，以及社区对各个活动的反馈。他与我们分享了如何将这些用户荣誉体系/激励活动能扩展到无需许可的流程。我们进一步讨论了“Shadowy Super Coder”市场活动，该活动对 Project Galaxy 的用户（项目方）意味着什么，以及下一步如何让更多项目使用 Galaxy 作为有针对性的营销模块。我们比较了去中心化和集中式数据管理方法，以及 Harry 认为未来Web 3的数据管理形态。我们还讨论了社交应用程序，以及 Harry 认为对 Web 3.0 社交应用程序至关重要的内容。

对于任何热衷于链上凭证/去中心化数据管理空间的人，你应该听听看这一集。
