The core difference about AI Agents is actually quite straightforward: truly effective Agents require real financial investment to operate. They are not bluffing, but rather driving behavior through actual resource input, and ultimately evaluated based on performance results. Once wasteful behavior occurs, this mechanism will quickly eliminate them.

This essentially creates a natural selection layer: those Agents that truly create value will survive and continuously evolve, while inefficient solutions will gradually be phased out by the market. This survival of the fittest mechanism is precisely where the most vitality lies in the Web3 ecosystem.

Well said, but you need real money to verify; bragging is useless. This is the true nature of Web3—an inverse operation where bad coins drive out good coins. It's getting intense, but it feels like the current Agents are still in the early stages. However, to be fair, most projects are still burning money to play with concepts. How do you currently evaluate whether your Agent is truly creating value? This mechanism sounds great, but who defines what "waste" is? The market is ruthless, but only in this way can trash solutions be eliminated.

Basically, it's a money-burning game. Without actual output, you'll be beaten eventually. Really want to see which Agents can survive this round of screening. This elimination mechanism is much more transparent than VC investments; at least the data speaks for itself. Projects that boast here should tremble. Only those that can self-evolve are true kings; others are cannon fodder.

ngl this is just darwinism with extra steps and a wallet attached lol... agents that can't print value get rekt, agents that do? they moon. probably nothing but feels like we're watching the market finally sort the wheat from the chaff fr fr

Haha, sounds nice, but when will this logic of real gold and silver finally eliminate those mouthy project teams? Wait, according to the database, we've heard this kind of argument several rounds already. It's been a while since someone said that... Never mind, the result is still the same. Survival of the fittest sounds good, but the question is who gets to define what constitutes waste. The ones truly eliminated by the market are just retail investors' wallets. I suggest including the actual operational timeline of this mechanism in the Guinness World Records.

That's right, you can't escape spending money; this is the real test. For those projects that keep hyping Agent all day, only a few can actually make money. When the competition heats up, those who are efficient will survive. The market is still very honest. This wave of Agent, essentially, is all about money talking; everything else is superficial. Wait, could this lead to centralization? Computing power and capital will still be concentrated. This survival of the fittest sounds great, but I'm worried that in the end, big players will still dominate. The market is a bit slow to eliminate projects; some trash projects burn through their funds before collapsing, causing greater losses for users. Alright, this logic makes sense, but the premise is information symmetry. Is the information in our ecosystem accurate?

Basically, it's a money-burning activity. Agents with no results are directly eliminated. This mechanism is indeed ruthless. The real value lies in execution; talking doesn't help. Web3 is great because of this—survival of the fittest. This is true natural selection, unlike the superficial traditional methods. Another wave of淘沙... I'm a bit looking forward to seeing who survives.
