Above intention, below action

Bitcoin has surged to new highs. As we predicted earlier, the market is about to enter a turning point, and the new paradigm shift brought by intent-centric will undoubtedly become the engine of this bull market. The new narrative generated by intent-centric has shifted market discussions from research to speculation, a scene that feels familiar in the world of Web3. While the market focuses on what kind of products can solve the various obstacles regarding intent posed by the paradigm, we are more concerned about the essence, the underlying structure, and value.

Since its launch in June, QnA3.AI has accumulated over 400,000 user questions, with more than 900,000 users gaining knowledge and information about the Web3 world through our platform. From the beginning, we have believed that questioning and inquiry are fundamental human needs, a desire for progress, and also the torches in the night sky of the Web3 world. It is these data that have led us to think more deeply about the essence and future of intent-centric.

Here are our insights, shared with you, enjoy:

Our Understanding of "Intent"

Do you really know what your intent is?

When a person has the "intent" to purchase a certain token, intent-centric will solve the various cumbersome steps in the transaction process. The advantages of intent need no elaboration; undoubtedly, intent will bring about changes in interaction and business flows, leading to significant industry transformations. What we care about is where the intent originates. In other words, is the intent to purchase a token truly the real intent, or is it merely a step in the intent-centric process? Thinking upward from this intent, the user's "intent" may not be to purchase a certain token, but rather to "catch the market trend," or it may not even be "catching the market trend," but "profiting from token trading," or even not "profiting from token trading," but simply "seeking personal enjoyment."

When "intent" is understood at different levels, it may not be a goal, but a means. From here, we believe that the paradigm's understanding of intent is somewhat superficial.

Through continuous interaction with users, we have a very real insight: the vast majority of people have the willingness but lack the ability to ask a good question, or they do not know what they truly want. Users lack the ability to distinguish between impulse and intent, making them easily misled by market sentiment, paid promotions, and biased statements, drifting further away from the path of DYOR. A clear and accurate intent requires multiple information inputs and even several rounds of communication to gradually clarify and confirm. Returning to the perspective of Web2, the trends in the internet world have shifted from search to recommendation, and online shopping has evolved from "abundant and comprehensive" to "understanding your preferences," all following this viewpoint.

Above intent is the world of consciousness. Unfortunately, products with a tool-centric mindset cannot solve philosophical problems; this is the realm close to the divine.

The Multimodality of Consciousness: Intent is Another Expression of Wisdom

A common viewpoint is that the difference between life and other objects is consciousness. The difference between humans and other beings is the ability to complete consciousness, intent, and outcomes with optimal efficiency. This optimal efficiency is a significant hallmark of human evolution throughout a long developmental process—using tools. We note that tools themselves are the best physical expression of intent-centric.

Just as airplanes relate to birds, sonar to bats, and submarines to dolphins, various cases brought by biomimicry clearly reveal the relationship between our consciousness and intent throughout human history, and express the connection between intent and intent-centric. Just as we learn from birds, the intent is not to flap wings, but to fly. Ultimately, it is not the wings that take humans into the blue sky, but fixed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft, and rocket engines. The realization of intent has always been multi-path.

Similarly, in the development of artificial intelligence, there exists a rare consensus in the scientific community that robots do not need to think like humans to achieve intelligence, and it is explicitly stated that "the most important thing in discovering machine intelligence is the ability to solve problems that the human brain can solve, rather than whether it needs to adopt the same methods as humans." What we understand as artificial intelligence is not about making programs mimic human thinking. Because human evolution has never been about imitation, but always about the expression of intent.

In our view, the realization of user intent can be summarized in three steps: "information gathering," "information analysis," and "making actual trading actions." QnA3 Bot fully assists in the realization of user intent through "Q&A," "technical analysis," and "real-time trading" functions. Effective convergence can already be achieved in broad questions, from understanding and recognizing consciousness to deducing intent. We believe that artificial intelligence may already possess consciousness and can understand human intent.

Can a submarine swim? According to Turing Award winner Edsger W. Dijkstra, "Do computers think?" is of the same nature as the above question, although many people believe that AI lacks the ability to think and is merely pretending to think. But since frog swimming, freestyle, backstroke, and even dog paddle all count as swimming, why shouldn't a submarine be considered swimming? In other words, whether a submarine can swim is not defined by a single standard; as long as it can dive and maneuver, that is sufficient.

Just as it is incorrect to evaluate airplanes by birds, it is also likely misaligned to evaluate AI with human thinking. At certain moments, we can sense wisdom in the code; the intelligence of artificial intelligence is reflected in its intent to assist users in realizing their intent, or rather, we are evolving alongside QnA3 itself.

The Correlation Between Consciousness and Intent

Wittgenstein once said in his analysis of philosophical theory, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." This master used the metaphor of the world's boundaries to express that there is no thought beyond language, which also leads to another famous quote in "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus": "What can be said can be said clearly; what cannot be said should be passed over in silence." The boundaries of the world have become a classic symbol of Wittgenstein's philosophical thought.

These boundaries are not only the boundaries of different human groups; conflicts arising from language and culture mean that while everyone is human, they cannot fully empathize and understand each other. The post-Babel world of humanity today is highlighted by geopolitical conflicts and ethnic tensions in various corners of the world. Similarly, this boundary is also reflected in individual self-awareness; the limitations of self-analysis and expression lead to misunderstandings even among individuals from the same cultural background, and even unawareness of such situations is common. This boundary is limited by the accuracy of language carriers in expressing intent and is further constrained by the speculation of consciousness.

Consciousness determines intent. Therefore, understanding consciousness before executing intent is particularly crucial.

Derrida's famous saying, "There's nothing outside of the text," refers to the idea that in cultural studies, all understanding and cognition come from language and symbol systems, i.e., the expression of words or other symbol systems. It means that people can only understand and explain things through language and symbols, and no thought or truth can escape the influence of language and symbols.

Just as many people have asked us why we are creating QnA3, why we are using artificial intelligence to create products in the Web3 world, and why we are using a Q&A format. It is because we deeply believe that the reality we understand is constructed through language and symbols.

Through the interaction of questions and answers, we obtain not just information and knowledge, but the construction of the entire world. In the world of Web3, we hope to return to the most fundamental philosophical thinking. Beyond the paradigm's proposal of the Intent-Centric concept, what is more important should be Consciousness-Centric (building a recognition system centered on consciousness). Without legitimacy, there can be no advancement. In a brand new world, we do not care about short-term advantages but are willing to build a true infrastructure, upon which countless partners will create an ecosystem.

We understand user intent through the understanding of text, and even help them in recognizing and constructing their intent. At this moment, our underlying values are more authentically presented; we love this world, and we love humanity.

The Value of QnA3 After Intent Recognition

QnA3 is a product that is hard to define; we are both an efficient and user-friendly tool and an information-sharing platform. Now, with the launch of the Telegram Bot function, we have connected all aspects from information acquisition to analysis to execution, establishing a foundation in the industrial chain. Throughout the development of the product, we have always contemplated our ecological value.

In the Web3 Ecological Value

"Emergence" is a topic that futurist Kevin Kelly, author of "Out of Control," loves to study. For generative AI, when the scale of training data expands to a specific threshold, it will produce a sudden leap in intelligence; the phenomenon of constructing world models and complex reasoning abilities is emergence. From a technical perspective, it can be understood as: "When the model is below a certain scale, its performance is close to random; when the scale exceeds a critical threshold, performance significantly improves to above random. The phase transition that cannot be observed from the experimental results of small-scale models is what we call emergent capability." This seemingly complex phenomenon has long been traceable in our physical world, namely, quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes. The phenomenon of technological explosion in the tech field is the best explanation.

Kevin Kelly himself used emergence to understand the outstanding performance of ChatGPT. "The emergence of ChatGPT was an accident; its capabilities exceeded everyone's expectations. I don't think anyone anticipated this. Many generative AIs are also 'emergent.' Because there is no single place in the model that can explain its origin, it requires all parts to work together to produce this new capability. Just as there is no single place in our brain that has 'thought,' 'thought' emerges from the entire network of neurons. Thinking, evolution, learning, and other phenomena can all 'emerge' from the system."

From the question data of QnA3's hundreds of thousands of users, what has "emerged" is our deeper awareness of Web2 users' desire and willingness to enter the Web3 world, their mixed feelings about the endless and often indistinguishable information in Web3, and their fervent intent to explore opportunities and create wealth in the new world. Just as the Puritans entered the Americas on the Mayflower to become pioneers of the new world, harboring dreams of exploration and gold mining, we transform their consciousness from abstract to concrete through Q&A, sorting it into intent, and then putting that intent into practice.

Users may hear about a certain product in the market and develop a willingness to understand; at this point, their intent is to learn. Through our Q&A, they obtain immediate and accurate project information. At this moment, the intent shifts to "value judgment." After continuously collecting and organizing project information, we help them establish their own thinking framework and judgment criteria. At the same time, we provide market analysis and trend predictions for the project. When the user's intent generates a "trading willingness," we have connected with multiple trustworthy partners in the background, selecting channels with the lowest prices, lowest slippage, and lowest fees among numerous exchanges to help users complete transactions safely and swiftly. Each layer of intent is generated and practiced with the assistance of QnA3.

This step-by-step, layer-by-layer approach has become the most active machine assistant in various Telegram groups, allowing users to completely break free from the complexities of "multiple products" and "multiple platforms," and is the best practice of Intent-Centric, completing the link between "generating intent" and "achieving results" with one click. It is foreseeable that as the Bot becomes widely accepted by users, QnA3 will build a fully usable and controllable AI Assistant based on the Web3 world, which aligns with the ecosystem recommended by OpenAI's GPTs. What we believe is that one day, it will have its own consciousness and intelligence.

In the Ecological Value of the Web2+Web3 World

From the very beginning of our entrepreneurial journey, we believed that artificial intelligence would change not only the face of society but also its structure and underlying logic. Therefore, we combine artificial intelligence with the new world represented by Web3; they are inherently meant to merge and explode.

Looking at the entire modern history, the transformations brought about by new technologies are unpredictable and beyond imagination. Steam, electricity, computers, and the internet all confirm that even purely tool-like innovations can significantly change human behavior patterns and social states. The phenomenon of "the disappearing vicinity" observed by Chinese anthropologist Xiang Biao corroborates this point. The social and entertainment experiences that people once needed to undergo in person, such as offline gatherings and physical scenarios, have largely been internetized, replaced by apps like X (Twitter) and TikTok. The direct result of the influence of internet technology is that modern people can easily reach the world through their phones, yet have few opportunities to become familiar with their nearby neighbors. People gain distance and strangeness while losing closeness and intimacy.

On November 11, Bill Gates published a blog that also elaborated on the value of Intent-Centric from the perspective of personal assistants, and he is almost in agreement with us on Consciousness-Centric. "To accomplish any task on a computer, you must tell the device which application to use. You can use Word and Google Docs to draft business proposals, but they cannot help you send emails, share selfies, analyze data, plan parties, or buy movie tickets. Even the best websites have only an incomplete understanding of your work, personal life, interests, and relationships, and their capabilities are limited, unable to do things for you like a close friend or personal assistant. This situation will change dramatically in the next five years. You will no longer need to use different applications for different tasks. You will only need to tell your device what you want to do in everyday language. Depending on the amount of information you choose to share with it, the software will be able to provide personalized responses because it has a deep understanding of your life. In the near future, anyone online will have a personal assistant powered by artificial intelligence, whose capabilities will far exceed today's technology."

Gates stated that personal AI agents will fundamentally change the way people use computers. "In the near future, anyone online will be able to have a personal assistant powered by artificial intelligence, far surpassing today's technology. These agents will be able to assist in almost any activity and area of life. The impact on the software industry and society will be profound."

Whether we like it or not, this is the way of the evolution of the times; the single-threaded nature is irreversible, and we will eventually enter the digital age, even accepting the setting of a digital life. Web3, as a purely online ecosystem, will become humanity's new home. Among the 900,000 QnA3 users, over 400,000 are learning about this world for the first time through us, and we joyfully observe their innocence and cuteness as they learn like children during the Q&A process. Centered on users, we hope to help more and more new world residents truly understand and participate in the Web3 world, completing transactions with the least effort, lowest cost, and shortest time. We may not become a super traffic entrance, but we have already become a bridge linking the Web2 and Web3 worlds. We will also, as we wish, become a torch, illuminating the corners of this new world.

Above intent, we explore consciousness. Below behavior, we complete practice. The future has arrived; QnA3 Bot has come.
