The risks of democratizing AI with low- and no-code tools

A database used by NFT marketplace OpenSea failed Thursday, which prevented new NFT owners from having their prizes delivered to many of their crypto wallets. The world somehow managed to soldier on despite this disaster, which is both kind of funny and illustrative of how hard it will be to build truly decentralized tech infrastructure. MetaMask is a crypto wallet that stores NFTs, and it relies on OpenSea's API to let it know when one of its users has purchased a new NFT. However, as reported by Vice, that API went down Thursday morning and remains down as of this afternoon, which threw a wrench into Twitter's announcement that NFTs were now available for purchase as avatars. Whatever your take on the wacky world of Web3, decentralized tech infrastructure is an interesting opportunity that a lot of smart people and deep-pocketed companies are working to advance.
