AI isn't in a bubble, it's in a buildout. VC dollars are chasing models, but the durable moats are picks-and-shovels: verified data pipelines, compute liquidity, and distribution. In this cycle, provenance is alpha. https://t.co/LiVA0qI8fG via @crunchbasenews

AI was the leading sector for startup funding globally from 2023 through 2025. As the sector reshapes the venture industry, here are six charts to visualize the transformation via Crunchbase data.

Phase change: EU AI Act is shifting AI from policy talk to enforcement. Proof > pitch decks. If you can’t show data provenance, eval results, and audit trails, you can’t ship at scale. You ship risk. rf: https://t.co/094ifSqcn3

If AI cannot read your content, you are invisible. If AI reads your content for free, you are unpaid. Just published a guide on @numbersprotocol blog about #GEO & how to turn AI ingestion into a revenue stream with x402. Full guide 👇 https://t.co/8aUWOKKuWH

From Proof to Paywall, now with provenance. We turned our @aaja @numbersprotocol panel into a quote-level provenance page: each line linked to timestamp, speaker, and on-chain proof. Check it on-chain👇 https://t.co/woYOmRoMND

Saturday 6 December 2025, Live Interactive Panel In an era where AI can generate “news photos” in seconds, authenticity is the only asset journalists have left. But how do you prove it…

In an AI-saturated news cycle, trust isn’t a “nice to have” anymore, it’s infrastructure. Excited to moderate this @aajaasia × @numbersprotocol fireside chat on how provenance and smart licensing can help journalism survive the AI flood. Register here: https://t.co/o9jFkOae5b
AI made content cheap. That means trust got expensive. Journalists are being asked to defend authenticity and chase licensing payments in a world optimized for copying. So we’re doing something simple, putting the whole ecosystem in one room: creator, ethics, and platform, all

1/ The real problem with AI isn’t that it “steals images.” It’s that high-risk, high-skill work, like reporting, photography, and creative IP, that gets sold once, too cheaply, while platforms and models keep compounding the value.

EU just put $1.1B behind an "Apply AI" strategy and advanced AI Act guidance. Translation: compliance becomes a feature. Builders who ship provenance and audit trails win distribution; everyone else ships liability. Data lineage is table stakes. #AIAct #Provenance

Google research is collapsing the gap between tokens and reasoning. Musk targets brain implants by 2030. The curve: cloud → edge → cortex. Solve provenance, safety, and rights now. Or we ship bugs into brains.

AI slop will be a big problem now...
#DYK This video was created 3 months ago, and even then it looked realistic. Fast forward to today: we have Nano Banana and AI that can edit images with precision and make them look VERY real. It will only accelerate from here, because almost no one checks where it came from.

Love our new intern, witty guy.
Intern is clocking in for another X Space on building in Web3. Wdym being an intern is not about building? it definitely is.

Meta putting AI editing inside IG Stories marks the shift: consumer AI scales when it rides existing creation habits, not new apps. Distribution > model. The camera becomes a prompt. Stories becomes the training loop for brands.

Exciting news: We’ve received a nDX grant AGAIN to advance content provenance for the AI economy! 🙌 This support from @GoogleNewsInit will boost our development of open-source C2PA tools for web3.

Deal flow tells the story. Web3 isn't dead, it's diversifying. Infra, gaming, DePIN, and RWAs are pulling real checks while vanity tokens get sidelined. Ship revenue, not vibes → that's who gets funded. #Web3 #CryptoVC #RWA
