AI is getting better at writing code, generating images, even holding a conversation. But there’s still one thing it can’t produce on its own: human judgement. In this episode, Tim sits down with RG, founder of Reppo, a protocol using prediction markets to pay people to generate and curate AI training data. Instead of scraping the internet or outsourcing “labelling” for pennies, Reppo turns the whole process into a market. RG breaks down why “belief change” and disagreement are the most valuable signals for post-training and what it means when people can earn meaningful income just by providing feedback. Also in this episode:
Why evaluation and context are the human edge in AI
How Reppo’s synthetic prediction market works (commit/reveal, on-chain settlement)
Why post-training data is where demand is headed next
What “permissionless privacy” looks like for proprietary datasets
How founders sharpen narratives by getting rejected 100+ times
