The era of exploration

news.ycombinator.com Yiding Jiang 2025-08-15 19:23:57

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online. Ilya Sutskever compared this reservoir of information to fossil fuel, abundant but ultimately finite. Some studies suggest that, at current token‑consumption rates, frontier labs could exhaust the highest‑quality English web text well before the decade ends.

A revolution is brewing in finance, promising to shatter the old walls of Wall Street and bring assets like stocks, bonds, and even skyscrapers onto the blockchain. It’s called tokenization, and it could fundamentally change how we own, trade, and think about value. To understand what this means for the average person, we broke down the concept and spoke with Ken DiCross, co-founder of the blockchain interoperability platform Wire Network, about the future of a tokenized world. 1.
