In OAPN #8 we preview the oceanic Phase Three of our compute network in conversation with Head of Commercial & Ocean Engineering at OpenAgents, Ben Silone.

We discuss:

• What we love and don't about Panthalassa's floating datacenters
• The Bitcoin Magazine article "How Bitcoin Can Unlock The Energy Of The Ocean For 1 Billion People" and OceanBit's efforts to combine bitcoin mining with ocean thermal energy
• Details for this week's decentralized training run via Pylon v0.2: a Qwen 3.6 model finetuned for legal work - and how that fits into our flywheel of revenue and rev-sharing
• Meditations on Karpathy joining Misanthropic
• The AI labs racing to build the One Ring and share it with governments; vs. our effort to 3D-print Rings of Power for all people
