Near is pulling another trick out of the bag by letting users stake tokens for ai access instead of bleeding out credit card fees. It sounds nice in a pitch deck but let us see what happens when the network load spikes and the oracle fails. My coffee tastes like battery acid. The idea is simple enough lock your bags to rent compute but who knows if they can actually pull off confidential inference without exposing the underlying data to some bored dev in a basement somewhere. If they miscalculate the lock-up periods or if the market dumps while your capital is frozen you are basically trapped in a digital cage of their making. Just another way to keep the float low while pretending this is some utility revolution instead of just a fancy lock-in mechanism. @aicryptoedge
