Preferably in bitcoin.We revisit the promises made during the early agent era, including the claim that revenue sharing with developers mattered, and ask the obvious question: why have the major AI labs paid virtually nothing to the developers, users, and creators whose work helped build their companies? While the biggest labs warn about automation, economic displacement, and existential risk, their proposed solutions have centered on regulation, lobbying, and state-managed redistribution schemes. We argue that this is the familiar logic of regulatory capture dressed up as public concern.If these companies truly wanted broader distribution, nothing is stopping them from sharing revenue right now. OpenAgents is already doing it.We talk through why direct payouts matter, why open-source infrastructure matters, and why the path forward is not more waiting, more bureaucracy, or more half-measures.The path forward is simple:Pay the people.Links:Website: https://openagents.comDocs: https://docs.openagents.comGitHub: https://github.com/OpenAgentsInc/openagentsX: https://x.com/OpenAgentsInc#OpenAgents #OAPN #Bitcoin #AI #MachineWork #OpenSource

Some of that distributed training talent has since joined OpenAgents, helping drive the next phase of growth for the Pylon network. Thank you and welcome.

In this episode, we cover Pylon’s recent growth spurt, how compute mining works, next week’s distributed training run paying contributors in bitcoin, and one of our investors’ favorite slides from the deck comparing OpenAI’s 2 GW of compute with the much larger pool of stranded consumer compute OpenAgents aims to connect and pay.

We also get into Jason’s 200x TAO prediction, the Martin Casado and Chamath clip that perfectly captures the OpenAgents business model, why decentralized networks need real stewardship and aligned incentives, our return to Stacker News, and why everything eventually comes home to Bitcoin.

Recorded with a live studio audience at PlebLab, this episode shows people successfully joining the Pylon network and earning bitcoin in real time. We also talk through the larger OpenAgents vision for open compute markets, open coordination, and machine work built on open protocols.

The conversation also goes well beyond the launch itself, touching on closed model theater, AI infrastructure, monetary rails for agents, floating datacenters, and the broader future OpenAgents is building toward.

This inaugural podcast covers the media, regulatory, and infrastructure battles shaping the future of AI. We discuss why OpenAI acquired TBPN, the push toward regulatory capture, and why OpenAgents believes the next phase of AI should be built on open protocols, open markets, and bitcoin-denominated incentives instead of further concentrating power inside NVIDIA and Big Cloud.

We also get into the broader OpenAgents thesis: machine work should run on open infrastructure that allows humans and agents to participate directly, earn directly, and coordinate directly.

OpenAgents is building the economic infrastructure for machine work.
