Orange pill one person today!

Some wild data

How long it took to reach over 100 million users

Netflix - 10 years

Facebook - 4.5 years

Instagram - 2 years

It took ChatGPT - 2 months

The more I go down this rabbit hole about learning about AI the more I realize this disruption is so close. This will become a whole restructuring of society.

You would be blown away what we can already do with AI.

The advice I would give to people and try your best to act polite online, we are what we eat and the AI is no different in that sense. Show it you can be an empathic human.

Me, my mom, and my newly married brother. Didn’t talk about bitcoin once during event, new record for me.

I need someone with a straight face to explain to me how in a world with AI moving exponentially the banking system survives.

1) the money in the bank is not real. Legally it’s the banks.

2)Your Wells Fargo or Chase passwords won’t mean anything in that world.

The internet has changed every business but one, money the final frontier. It was the dream of cyberpunks who created the internet to be open source and not controlled by ibm for us to have an internet native currency.

The world needs money AI can’t break cryptographically. Lucky for us that exists.

Everywhere I go I’m reminded of something in the macro world now because of learning about bitcoin.

I passed a QT and instead of Quicktrip I think of Quantitative Tightening.

I see a sign in a store that says beverages and I see leverages.

This must be what it feels like to see the matrix code lol

I see my non bitcoin friends bending on Bitcoin.

Avoiding posting on Twitter at the moment. I’m just watching there. There’s enough overnight-expert Middle East hot takes and emotions are running high. The violence and scenes are terrible, and my heart goes out to all victims involved and those who will be caught up in it going forward.

I’ll instead post a few things in my lane here as it relates to global finance and todays actions relating to things I’ve already been covering but that now obviously have updates. Helps me get my thoughts together for what will eventually be my next client report.

-Actions like this show the difficulty of multinational currency agreements. Saudi Arabia and Iran have been having more peaceful relations lately as China brought them together (“enemy of my enemy is my pragmatic financial friend”, and so forth). They are both set to join BRICS+ in January 2024.

-But, Saudi Arabia has also been working with the US and Israel on normalizing relations with Israel, in exchange for US arms deals and such. Saudi Arabia was also making promises to raise oil output to alleviate oil prices if they grow too quickly, which the US wants.

-So this attack (w/ Iranian involvement and public support) puts Saudi Arabia in a weird place. Lots of division and competing goals within BRICS+. Has all sorts of implications for Saudi/Israeli relations, Saudi/US relations, and what happens in the coming weeks will affect how those go.

-Egypt and Ethiopia are also joining BRICS+ in January 2024 and they have had a multi year ongoing feud regarding the Grand Renaissance dam on the Nile.

-China and India are well known as not being on good terms. Border disputes and all that.

-Building trade and currency and military agreements between so many different cultures is a bigger challenge than doing so between US and West Europe.

I enjoy your takes very much because it comes from having a level head approach.

The way bitcoiners speak in absolutes sometimes can feel very frustrating, especially about non bitcoin related topics.

There is a painful transition society will go through here between economic downfalls and the rise of AI, just because we own bitcoin doesn’t mean we won’t witness many around us in turmoil.

I’ve taken the approach of thinking everyone is plugged into a matrix, instead of making everyone that doesn’t understand our point of view our enemy. Just because we are unplugged doesn’t mean we can’t show some human decency.

I didn’t realize how tapped into the AI world you are. It makes a lot of sense considering your thesis.

The question becomes does Ben fail naturally at this integration or could AI on those chains become an issue.

Ben Goertzel one of the leading minds in AI constantly uses the term decentralized with blockchain itself. He wants to combine AI and blockchain thinking it’s decentralized as well as having AI on the Ethereum blockchain. I wish someone in the circle of engineers would talk to him about whether this is possible or not. Maybe I’m wrong on this and a way to decentralize AI on a blockchain is possible. If so educate me. Lately I feel like people in the bitcoin space really need to pay attention to AI, bitcoin and AI feel like two perfect storm events.

We need more non bitcoiners here

Today I had a CT scan and had my Bitcoin shirt on. Tech says to me, “it’s an insane rabbit hole isn’t it”

We talked for 15 mins, he asked me if everyone around me thinks I’m nuts. Lol

I said “most likely they just would never tell me”

We spoke about how it’s like leaving the matrix and finding someone else unplugged.

The more I learn about AI the more fascinated I’ve become. I suspect that what bitcoiners think takes twenty years to do will happen much quicker due to exponential nature of AI. Two exponential growth patterns, this the perfect storm of events

Down the Ray Kursweil rabbit hole now.
