First of all thank you for the well developed professional product, Im sure this took considerable time. It is clean organized and articulate.

My personal feedback on the content:
I agree 100% on the need for user and community influence and some type of community governance.

I like your vision for Preo AI although I don’t support leveraging GPT-4 or Google Bard as both are not wholly transparent and open-sourced. They will never get all the databases in the world and therefore the market for niche alternatives that have focused AI on a specific topic will outperform these general AIs. They are also building in biases which will doom them to failure when other competitor AI starts to point out those flaws, biases, and better specific results than the general AI. What I would prefer to see is Presearch added all AI to their offerings so that all AI can be tried against each other on a single platform. If Presearch became the 1-stop AI comparative platform it would benefit from user feedback and could then leverage the best of all available new developments in AI to launch its own Preo or Presearch AI. Procure wholesale pricing access to all the AI options and sell to Presearch users at retail profiting off of others continual competition and developments. Eventually Presearch may get Exclusive AI offerings where new models are only available on Presearch driving even greater adoption. Meanwhile users get better search results based on what services the choose to pay for. and those queries could be leveraged with the already established nodes preserving user privacy when using others AI.

Regarding Privacy vs Monetization - If there is a way to do both effectively I think most would support. However, its difficult when the platform collects information on users how do you only collect on some or only sometimes what prevents or ensures the platform from turning that switch on and collecting anytime if the capability is built-in to do it. I don’t agree with your comment that people don’t care about privacy. There are half a dozen privacy focused search providers to include DDG and Brave among the bigger in this space who both continue to increase not decrease their marketshare. As more and more people wake up to the fact that they and their personal data are being used to not only profit big tech corporations that don’t share their values but are also being influenced by them unknowingly, there will be a massive turn away from those corrupt giants over the next decade. The best positioned alternatives will continue to benefit. Presearch needs to provide unique offerings that entice more to the platform. You can’t do the same at lesser quality and expect to get the masses to use it. The search experience either needs to be better or needs to have unique and appealing draws instead… then once you have lots of active users and sustainable revenue you can begin to take on the others in quality and user experience. Attempting to compete with Google, Bing, DDG, Brave, or Opera on user interface, ms response times, or 100 other features they have already mastered is a fools errand for sucha. tiny company and will bankrupt Presearch if they try. Instead they focus on unique offerings that no one else is doing and master those before the competition if they are of substantial interest and value to users, advertisers, etc. then you force the other big guys to play by your rules and you become a breakout leader in the search space at least for those features drawing many new users and revenue to Presearch.

I would support PRE liquidity pools and trying to create another income stream with that but I don’t support PREfi at least at this point I am concerned that would take substantial development and time away from what should be the focus and core product SEARCH. This would also expose Presearch to unnecessary and completely non existent, ambiguous, or unclear legal and regulatory concerns. As a distant future vision once regulations are clear and they have tacked SEARCH… maybe.

Exponential Growth in Coding Efficiency with AI: Reflecting on the past three to four years, the evolution of coding with AI has been nothing short of revolutionary. The mindset that projects timelines based on historical coding speeds without AI is becoming increasingly obsolete. With tools like GitHub Copilot, approximately 55% of code is already being written with the assistance of AI, showcasing a fundamental shift in how projects are developed. This does not even scratch the surface of the potential speed increase when developers leverage GPT-4 for coding assistance. The precise acceleration—be it two-fold, four-fold, or even ten-fold—is hard to quantify, but the impact is undeniable. As we stand on the brink of welcoming GPT-5 and its contemporaries, dismissing the feasibility of ambitious projects due to perceived coding constraints is, frankly, illogical. The exponential growth in knowledge work, made possible by AI, is a game-changer, offering substantial increases in productivity at minimal cost. To argue against the feasibility of Pre-fi and other advanced features on the basis of current AI’s capabilities fails to recognize the imminent leap in productivity and efficiency that next-generation AI technologies will bring. It’s not just about doing the same work faster; it’s about unlocking the potential to tackle significantly more complex challenges with the same or fewer resources. This exponential growth factor in coding and development work heralds a new era where the impossible becomes possible, making any dismissal of ambitious projects not only nonsensical but a gross underestimation of our collective potential.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI, the development and integration of AI agents mark a pivotal shift in how knowledge work can be accomplished. OpenAI, among others, is at the forefront of this transformation, developing AI agents capable of performing tasks autonomously on users’ devices.

The apprehension regarding its complexity and regulatory landscape is understandable, yet it’s essential to recognize that with the advent of AI, the capacity to develop, iterate, and refine complex systems is increasing exponentially. AI’s role in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of programmers cannot be overstated—what once might have taken years could now be achieved in months, making the vision for Pre-fi not only viable but essential for our forward momentum.

The PREfi concept stands as a transformative strategy within the Presearch ecosystem, aimed at deeply integrating with the crypto community and establishing a robust foundation for the project’s valuation. By focusing on Total Value Locked (TVL) as a key metric, PREfi positions Presearch to showcase a substantial and tangible measure of its financial health and operational scale. This approach not only solidifies a foundation for assessing the Presearch network’s valuation but also aligns with critical financial metrics valued by investors in the decentralized finance space.

Implementing a Coin Market Cap style informational system through PREfi extends the project’s reach and utility by becoming a go-to resource for crypto-related information. This initiative would not only serve the immediate needs of investors and enthusiasts looking for up-to-date data but also significantly enhance Presearch’s visibility within the crypto world. Despite the competitive nature of the market, the unique positioning of Presearch, coupled with the integration of cutting-edge AI technologies and a focus on decentralized search capabilities, provides a compelling value proposition.

The expansion into PREfi and the development of a comprehensive crypto information platform represent ambitious steps forward, leveraging the project’s strengths to capture greater market share and recognition. By doing so, Presearch can potentially achieve a more equitable valuation, reflecting its true contribution to the crypto ecosystem and its users’ value. This strategic move underlines the necessity of not just participating in the crypto space but actively contributing to and shaping its evolution.

Dismissing the potential and strategic importance of PREfi without thorough consideration overlooks the substantial benefits it offers in terms of project valuation, community engagement, and market presence. The decision to pursue such ambitious projects should be informed by a detailed analysis and an understanding of the evolving digital landscape, where AI and blockchain technologies play increasingly pivotal roles.

In this light, the argument for embracing ambitious initiatives like PREfi is not just about expansion but about positioning Presearch at the forefront of innovation and community integration in the crypto world.

As far as potential future roads for decentralized LLMs, I’d like to bring up the notion of things like Petals, which I think would be perfect to insert as a node role. It would also allow Presearch to be far more selective about models to use, and would keep us from needing a centralized compute provider. Something to consider.
