Anon, I don’t even have kids — but whenever I see someone trying to overreach and tell others how to raise theirs, I step back, take a breath, look at some art, and remember the fractal cycles of human stupidity. image
“Learn how to learn.” Advice from Ben Goertzel to the youth on the importance of being flexible & being able to pivot going through this disruptive transitional technological phase of artificial intelligence when pursuing a career. image
Most disruptive technologies felt unprecedented to those who lived through them, but AI is special: it’s the first one that can directly accelerate its own improvement in a way that potentially escapes human-scale time horizons. The closest analogy we have is still something like the Cambrian explosion: an evolutionary algorithm suddenly running on a substrate orders of magnitude faster and more parallel than biology.

‘A good definition for money is an insurance policy against uncertainty. It can be used to obtain anything that the market place can bear in terms of goods or services. As a market actor facing future uncertainty, I will not know what good or services I will need. Therefore I hold my purchasing power in a store of value for that uncertain future that gives me the widest range of optionality for goods & services. Therefore there will always be a demand for money.’ Thoughts from @Robert Breedlove discussing the idea of money and its future in an uncertain & unpredictable economy involving human & AI interaction.
Trying to assign a number to Bitcoin’s value is like trying to assign a mathematical construct to human consciousness.
