sorry, github blocked the account just now. guess they think trying to pump a scam coin or smth like that.
I reuploaded to this different account:

Yes I researched proof of useful work before.
Here it's a bit different and simpler imo, just trying to make a proof of work based on the LWE problem. (meaning A.x+e is hard to invert, not aware of any similar pow).
Trying to design the pow such that if miners are optimized for that pow, they are also optimized to type of computation needed for AI workloads. (rounds of matmults+nonlinerarity)
So mining doesn't produce useful work in itself. It's just that if someone optimizes the hw and infra to mine this pow, it aligns with the same type of computation needed for AI (bc deep learning etc is based on same type of deep rounds of matmults).
Meaning the same hw/infra can be reused (but not at the same time as mining, bc the pow uses random matrices). Imo still a benefit compared to all the effort and energy going into sha256 mining, but any feedback welcome.
