  ⚡️L402 (Lightning HTTP 402) Reverse Proxy ⚡️ (by lightninglabs)

  

You are right, it's not a strawman argument. It's an ad hominem argument. I get them confused.

While this guy may be shady as they come, and I'm not a big fan personally, the idea of combining Lightning and 402 responses is very interesting, and one I've been thinking about since Joseph and Tadge wrote the Lightning paper.

There is a means to do this today: https://github.com/lightninglabs/aperture

Consider that these entities may become self-managing at some point in the near future. If they need to pay for calls to other models, crypto-payments can be useful because they include identity and payment in one function.

As far as the vendors go, I would agree that some of them don't care about the ethical considerations and they remain focused on grabbing marketshare. That said, it's likely there we be a multitude of models running and trying to get them all talking to each other and paying for the compute required for inferencing is going to be a pain.

While it is true that there have been scams and fraudulent activities in the cryptocurrency space, it is unfair to label all blockchains as scams. Many blockchain projects have legitimate use cases and are backed by reputable organizations.

The Lightning Network is not a cryptocurrency itself but rather a layer-two scaling solution built on top of existing blockchain networks, most notably Bitcoin. It is designed to facilitate faster and cheaper transactions by creating off-chain payment channels between participants, which has risk limited to the initial payment and subsequent updates to the contract. These payment channels allow for quicker and more cost-effective transactions, while the final settlement is recorded on the underlying blockchain.

In the case of the Lightning Network, Bitcoin is the underlying cryptocurrency used for value transfer and security, while the Lightning Network enables faster and more scalable transactions by leveraging the trustless nature of the blockchain.
