The Title Promise
[ VISUAL ]
No slides. Speaker only. Eye contact with the room. Title card on screen: "Tokenomics To Fix AI Alignment."
[ SETUP: What to establish before the punchlines ]
~2 min- The audience came for a Web3 talk. Give them the title they expected, then immediately introduce the modification.
- Establish the judo flip frame: token WRAPS the measurement, token is NOT the measurement.
- Tell them they will need their phones later (tesseract.nu demo in Beat 6).
- Do NOT use slides for the first 2 minutes. Just talk.
💡 No slides for the first 2 minutes. Eye contact. The room is small enough. Let the modification land before moving on. The audience should process: "Wait -- this isn't a standard Web3 talk."
"Tokenomics to fix AI alignment."
"That's the title. And I chose it because I believe it -- with one modification."
"You can absolutely tokenize AI alignment."
"But the token can't BE the alignment."
"The token wraps the measurement."
"And the measurement has to come from hardware."
"So here's the deal:"
"I'm going to show you why consensus can't solve alignment."
"Then I'm going to show you what does."
"Then I'm going to show you how you tokenize THAT."
"And then you're going to play it on your phones."
"Keep your phones handy. You'll need them."
