The program aims to provide work experience in AI, research, and markets amid rising competition for internships.", "body_md": "I run a boutique investment bank, and every year I would receive 1 - 3 internship requests, but this year I received 50. I started to realize that Ai was replacing interns faster than any other worker because it was mostly administrative work.\n\nInternships really gave me invaluable experience, so I wanted to create a de-centralized internship with the first year content focused on a de-centralized Ai protocol called Bittensor (TAO). There are 8 weekly assignments which are scored and reviewed by Claude, with a final capstone video presentation which is presented to a human panel of people in the Bittensor ecosystem.\n\nAll interns who complete the program receive a \"proof of work\" experience, and a scorecard which they can share.\n\nIf you know any interns looking to learn about Ai, research, markets and for \"work\" experience. Please send them here: lab.cedarridge.capital\n\nOpen to any and all feedback.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48914589](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48914589)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-digital-de-centralized-internship", "canonical_source": "https://lab.cedarridge.capital/", "published_at": "2026-07-15 00:08:37+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-15 00:17:46.735705+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-agents", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Bittensor", "TAO", "Claude", "Cedar Ridge Capital"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-digital-de-centralized-internship", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-digital-de-centralized-internship.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-digital-de-centralized-internship.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-digital-de-centralized-internship.jsonld"}}
