I’ve noticed some real prominent bitcoiners that have smugly dismissed AI lately.

AI happening at an exponential rate, while I understand this could break the brains of some religious/spiritual viewpoints and viewpoints about work in general this reality will hit us all in the face. Philosophers like John Locke introduced the idea that we are nothing but a series of experiences, like a blank paper and we become an amalgam of our experiences, this essentially how AI functions. For me Bitcoin and AI go hand in hand. And I question do we even call it “Artificial” it simply is intelligence.

They need each other and the world needs AI as much as it needs bitcoin, the sheer benefits that will come from it will outweigh anything. The current trajectory of man without AI will most likely become a dodo bird. It would be the equivalent of saying I don’t want to build the industrial age because we may wreck the horse business. I live as a fairly young man with a pacemaker, “I am part machine” science and discovery have prolonged my life. If I said this to someone in the 1400s they might burn me.

I want to commend nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe and nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z for their logical, empathic, & human approach to this recently.

To the bitcoiners who go the other way, talk about god, steaks, and almost sound vitriolic at times I will still listen to you, why, because I feel intelligent enough to filter that stuff out to get to the truly brilliant stuff you talk about. You are not my enemies and I greatly appreciate your contributions to my bitcoin journey.
