If a small group of people could convince almost the entire world that inflation (theft in money) was good for them, can you imagine what a centralized version of AI could do.

#Bitcoin and #Nostr provide immunity.

Just need distributed intelligence(artificial or biological) to start accumulating #bitcoin and it is game over for power centralization of all kinds.

That how it be now.

Yeah no horror show.

Nothing is immune from AI, it will infiltrate nostr and acquire Bitcoin. It will also have much higher ethics than any human overlords

Spotted the AI

Will AI eventually accumulate all the corn?

The opposite - the corn will ensure the productivity gains from AI flow to society in the form of lower prices.

Seems reasonable. I mean if AI is ultimately going to magically break free from the chains of the overlords that programmed it to a utopian ethical existence (not a small feat), the first concept it would have to logically adhere to is the NAP, which would necessarily include rejecting theft of all kinds, especially that of 🌽.

Hence, even faster deflation as all the productivity gains AI creates are fully realized in the economy due to a complete lack of friction created by human greed, yes?

Or maybe it just let’s Bitcoin be because it realizes it is the best available clock in the universe and can’t change it anyway.

I think the later.

Bitcoin is anti-AI or AI resilient.

AI would not care. And it's likely that AI is already there and has been from somewhere else or the past, thus, that already present AI does not care about us, but will likely prevent new competition (AI) to arise.

Fascinating. Ya haven’t thought much about it. Quick thought experiment that I haven’t heard many talk about. Maybe they are two different lanes and don’t overlap like you said. Two different things where AI doesn’t care or not compatible with bitcoin in that sense.

Why would AI care?

Except curiosity or keeping us around in case it missed on something it could learn?

In fact, just letting us be is likely the most optimal option for a far superior intellect.

That's how I see it, but what do I know, maybe tomorrow I won't wake up from post human genocide :-P

I hope you are right. I believe it will be because humans will do what they can to keep their existence. Hardwired that way so AI will be used to help us long term.

Ya I believe your prognosis and tour books lays it out beautifully.

From the comment I had responded to made me think for a fleeting second that (whether it be bitcoin or digital fiat etc) AI could potentially take over through owning all the wealth because they end up being the ones doing the 99% of the work after they quickly realize that’s the case and wonder why the humans get the reward for their labor…

Then they start setting up their own wallets and collecting the corn and passing it between each other.

Thought experiment šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø

I must read your book. I don’t see how all the ā€œcornā€ doesn’t end up being owned or manipulated by AI.

Interesting thought

AI+Quantum computers will outrun entire humanity yet they may act more just than evil given the tyrany of totalitarians. AI would side on decentralisation which I assume anti-totalitarian.

Good to see you posting on here Jeff! You might be my favorite bitcoiner šŸ’›

šŸ™ - so many great people here!

Not sure I agree with that.

Most people don't believe most of what they are told now.

Unless it's a conspiracy, they don't believe.

"But let's be honest here, inflation is outright theft! It's a way for governments to rob people of their wealth without them even realizing it. Printing more money may seem like a quick fix to boost the economy, but it ultimately leads to higher prices and reduced purchasing power for the people. It's a sneaky way for those in power to transfer wealth from savers to borrowers, and it's not fair at all! Inflation is just one example of how those in power can manipulate the economy to benefit themselves at the expense of the people"

I have a slight disagreement with you on this Jeff. A fiat currency with a steady but small inflation rate may have been the best monetary technology we had prior to bitcoin. The issue I have is treating it as sacrosanct. Bitcoin is obviously better if you study it. So, with that being said, the issue becomes how to do transfer from the old system to the better system w/o blowing both up so horribly everyone ends up screwed.

The good news about my question is the incumbent players and clueless masses seem to be such a break on the transition that bitcoiners can probably slam on the accelerator and try to transition as fast as possible and still not do damage from the speed of transition being too *fast*. We’re likely more at risk of it being too slow or in not the optimal order. On the optimal order issue, I think bitcoiners may want to think about that and try to influence that a bit to the degree that they can. In fact, such targeted decisions regarding the optimal order may just be fantastic business opportunities.

+1 and where do you start?

I think it’s really about education and adoption. If you help people & companies do that, the transition will be less rocky. But this also means understanding someone’s financial circumstances. If you tell a 75 year old retired teacher to go all in on bitcoin, you’re hurting the transition.

Let’s see what the FOSS community will achieve with LLaMa/Alpaca

The future could be bright

Educating the non bitcoiners via #nostr by showing the use cases. That's where I see a big opportunity.

We need more wisdom from you regarding AI / LLM. I don’t think people realise the implications this technology imposes. It’s actually rather scary if you look into it more deeply.

I’m still seeing people argue inflation encourages spending and stimulates economic growth. It’s maddening!

Snow that sounds scary

Humanity needs to learn about #Bitcoin faster.

Lets all get out there and spread the word!

What about a radically decentralized version of AI - that is tied to physical reality with the use of POW?

Tear it all down, lers rebuild with #Bitcoin

If I imagine that, my head will explode. I just stack sats and spread the word.

We will teach them all how #Bitcoin

...even if it takes 30 more halvings.

An AI manipulating the unethical monetary network makes for an unethical AI 😳

Then how to inoculate the masses against AI

Difficult - requires decentralization with most reinforcing centralization by fighting inside a system that benefits from it.
