Every time I find an interesting project it feels like the train already left. What tips do you have to develop your sense of smell for finding gems before they are old news? I am trying browsing thru dark forums, irc chats and AMA medium pages and I know these are skills to be honed with time but I still think there should be other ways to feel the pulse of the market that I am not considering... Discord, twitter, etc are very cluttered with noise to be useful for my taste

there is an upcoming AI project to be launched in starlaunch solana launchpad backed by a Korean startup that claims to gamify the training of AI databases for commercial purposes. The idea is to mint their token thru what it could be seen as complex captchas and you can also own words as NFTs that would generate commission according to their use/demand. The company behind it have had some recognitions but they are still fairly new and even if the concept is interesting, it seems to me that the cost of the NFTs are somewhat high and it is just a quick way of getting funding. The company already planned to launch a token in the past but they cancelled it allegedly because of unfavorable market conditions. I am going to throw some bucks for a (hopefully) x10 but I agree that these projects are still very far from being perceived as solid as AI market is yet in its infancy.
