What the Election Results Mean for Emerging Tech w/ Salim Ismail | EP

[@tysonearl3299]

Photonic vs the current electronic compute processors will need to be part of this conversation as well. We will need immutable distributed ledger networks written for this new generation of computing processors around the corner

[@ArielTavori]

Absolutely. There's also promising progress on the road to quantum, thermodynamic compute and others, not to mention the flood of new materials that will result from the recent developments in material science... Many of these may stack multiplicatively and perhaps even exponentially. Maybe not, but that seems unlikely. Betting on stagnation seems pathological at this point.

[@jackstrawful]

@@tysonearl3299 Our current technology stack is entirely based on silicon from Taiwan - are these new processors you speak of something that Taiwan will be able to retool for, or are we looking at breaking away from Taiwan's dominance when photonic/quantum take over?

[@jackstrawful]

Wish i could be as optimistic about a supposedly more tech friendly and forward thinking US govt, but if we learned anything from the previous Trump administration, its that it was staffed by one half reactionary idiots and one half grifters, whose only pertinent qualification was that Trump perceived them as loyal to him personally. I'm afraid that us libertarian-leaning tech accelerationists will be in for a rude awakening when the Republican party remembers that their base are cultural traditionalists who are in fact far more Luddite than the Democrat base and are the ones who will be leading the charge against AI - and all advanced technologies - in favor of 'traditional values' in the years to come.

[@britaom3299]

You do bring up what seems to be a serious problem with the incoming Trump administration. The Republican Party is dominated by evangelical fundies who think the earth is 6,000 years old, dinosaurs lived with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, evolution is a lie from Satan and needs to be replaced with the teaching of creationism, and we need Israel to bring about the End Times and Jesus's return. Salim, to his credit, DOES somewhat touch upon this at the 54-minute mark when he mentions the "anti-science people" that surround Trump. We shall see what happens. I do hope that Elon is allowed to make some necessary changes. But I also shook my head when he seemed to suggest that the Trump administration should and would be willing to entertain UBI?? I highly doubt that. UBI is too radical a concept for either Party, but most especially Republicans.

[@krillnukem892]

This was brilliant - bought the peptides on your offer too 🤞

[@frankdasilva]

Excellent conversation, thank you both! 👏🙏

[@tysonearl3299]

I can’t wait for Kaspa to enter these levels of conversations once people realize how revolutionary and true to the Bitcoin white paper it is.

[@sapien01010]

I still agree with Daniel Susskind that AI will create more jobs…for AI. He brings up the example of the auto industry displacing the horse industry. But we are not people who work with horses in this example. We are the horses.

[@mmaud100]

Not really I found a way to produce value and economics growth in human-AI collaboration. If you agree that economy is just transformed energy. If you have the right ingrédient and best activity set then you can design New global market based on hard asset. 😊

[@twinsoultarot473]

For a while; might as well get a job in AI.

[@MFILMS3000]

I imagine a day not so far in the future when you'll be on a call with a friend or family member or colleague. You run into them afterward, and they have no knowledge of that call ever occurring. We might soon have no idea whether anything we experienced online is objective reality or not. The people in charge of this tech hurtling at us don't seem to experience empathy. This moment feels like the scene in All Quiet On The Western Front where the young men march in a state of manic ecstasy. Grinning from ear to ear in anticipation

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

I find more scary the possible use of AI for negative, non constructive or dangerous ends than the robot being smarter or more intelligent than me, truly 🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@liamstacey419]

Digital Tokens of real estate: can you imagine the lawsuits when one person or another mismanages the physical asset? This has nothing to do with administrations, by the way; they were talking about this almost a decade ago

[@MrDeerings]

500th like! :) great job guys!

[@y.0.x]

Damn, Salim, what a smart man.

[@jeffkilgore6320]

Lots of doubters which leads me to believe that there’s lots of accompanying fear. When AI fertilizes, waters, targets fungicides and herbicides, harvests at the optimal time, transports the harvest to the nearest grainery that mills and packages the grain, ships the grain to local retailers, then the cost will be astonishingly low.

[@ArielTavori]

Indeed. It constantly amazes me how such things are not completely obvious to everyone with any level of situational awareness. Cognitive bias I suppose? Availability bias comes to mind. We're very bad at applying 'system two thinking' to problems that are in fact, unprecedented. Fear and existential dread seem to dominate one side of the discussion, while naive optimism and greed rule the other. Our intuition and confidence are built on experience, yet on this subject there are truly "no adults in the room".

[@mrleenudler]

Asked perplexity about the ubnemployment rate. Sweeden, South Korea and Germany, while low, aren't even in the top ten. What I couldn't readily find information on, is how large a part of the workforce is currently permanently unemployed for various reasons. Looking solely at unemployment rates is very simplistic, and should be taken with a fistful of salt.

[@billyzelsnack]

No way Salim is a libertarian capitalist after watching his latest Bilyeu video.

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

Listening to your concept on a CEO who would use AI system to listen to a conference or meeting, gathering all the info, AI then shaking off all the noises & using the data to give the useful necessary results to the CEO Which leads me to think that governments could really be run the same way, with specific sophisticated AI systems… and good bye politics, politicians& parties! … of course that could be dangerous too…it would require high regulations in order not to install a dangerous corrupted AI system ….🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@liamstacey419]

People are confusing the speculative gains that bitcoin enthusiast have gotten, with a useful or intrinsic value to bitcoin as a currency. Now imagine if you had to pay the property taxes on your house in bitcoin for the rest of your life… you’re gonna want the value of bitcoin to stay low.

[@erinbsullivan444]

I think this guy is going to have a rude awakening when he sees domestic robots shopping for us at the grocery store is a few years.

[@instylenewyork]

Would the release of cold fusion reactors negatively affect a (store of value) proposition? What happens to all crypto when energy is so cheap that any small group could mine. Dilution could become an issue. Seems like a temporary opportunity that could become like the Tulip market.

[@mrleenudler]

Don't know about all crypto, but Bitcoin is designed to be limited. I think the limit is 20 million. Eventually they'll all be found, which is, as far as I understand , a problem, as the mining is also part of the infrastructure of the coin. Don't cite me, I'm not into this.

[@0xLoneWolf]

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin decide what transactions are included using a “Proof of Work” mechanism. Other common types would not be affected. But in the Bitcoin case, this would only affect the network if one person has a huge jump in mining capacity (energy access is just one part) that gives them more productive output than half of all the planet’s miners. Once other miners have access to fusion it’s back in equilibrium

[@enerjohnsavior3227]

We have had a very clear demonstration of how Trump does not believe in public health best practices. But let's skirt around that topic. Actually, Salim took it on. But will his point on scientific evidence-based policy make any difference at all to Trump?

[@williamwebberjr8045]

Watching this on Nov 11, 2024 and BTC is $88k+

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

Thinking further, Judges and many legal stuffs, very much based on the rules of laws could also be run on an AI… entering all the rules of law data in an AI system, could help a lot to avoid human’s emotional or political input plus it would speed up the dossiers….🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@13thbiosphere]

Peter if you were a trillionaire would you still be profit motivated ..... Are you rich enough yet to be generous or you still hungry you still starving at what point are you not starving

[@jjapan3241]

Peter completely deflected Elon's response about how he's contributed more to the Trump campaign than anything else other than what he said. . .LOOK

[@kasforai]

Forget about Bitcoin look for the next trend

[@kennethbeal]

Loved the technical parts of the discussion. You both seemed a bit short-sighted on the brief abortion aspect though, in which you both deferred to sexism. Myself, I am fully supportive of REPRODUCTIVE rights: as in, have children; PRODuce REplicas of your selves. I am not supportive of murder-in-the-womb, which is what the euphemism, "reproductive rights" generally means in our society. I am interested in your take on the logic of the following, which I wrote several years ago -- predicting Roe v Wade being overturned, which it later was. Thank you. (And yes, I understand I often fail at emotions while exercising logic. Still: am honestly looking for feedback. I will change my Constitutional logic with corrective feedback. Thanks!) Four key points: A: There is no statute of limitations on murder. B: Roe v Wade is about to be overturned. It was an unconstitutional temporary reprieve, for some murderers and accomplices. C: Marbury v Madison was an earlier Supreme Court decision. It asserted: an unconstitutional law is unconstitutional FOR ALL TIME, and not merely after a court declares it such. D = A+B+C: Those who murdered and had reprieve, are about to lose that reprieve. When this protection is declared unconstitutional (B), it disappears completely as if it was never in effect (C). Every person who committed and assisted in the murders that were illegally said to be legal to commit, is guilty and may be brought to justice (D) -- because that crime has no statute of limitations (A).

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Amazing channel!

[@JuStTrUsTMeBrO-ny4hj]

Did Salim say he came from India? I didnt hear the first 30 times he told us about it.

[@JuStTrUsTMeBrO-ny4hj]

Also hilarious to watch two genius brains fight for airtime in the conversation. Love it.

[@leonardscotto2870]

Do you really believe that the Trump administration will even consider green technologies? He is an oil and gas advocate which is bothersome to me so I don't foresee much movement in that space during his tenure.

[@mrleenudler]

Intelligent entrepreneurs will see the path forward. Worst case is Trump awarding massive tax breaks to his fossil pals. If he doesn't progress will continue, albeit slower.

[@jsalsman]

For an election that turned on inflation, it's hard to take UBI advocates seriously.

[@bumpinator]

I think UBI is good only with a deflationary ai economy

[@jsalsman]

@@bumpinator I don't see what AI can do about food and housing prices.

[@TheThundertaker]

There is no alternative. When AI and robotics make humans useless as employees there needs to be UBI to support unemployable humans.

[@bobbykanae]

UBI would be only come around if there was incentive to, meaning people are hurting so much financially that they’ll vote for whoever promises them UBI. We’d have to be pretty desperate to get there. More realistically, people will get inventive and make things work. I don’t get though why he says hes not worried about unemployment but he also believes in UBI…

[@JoeyJ1984]

When hyper-inflation hits and AI replaces so many jobs at the same time, people with the employee mindset won't see any choice but to accept UBI. And you better believe governments will happily give them digital fiat in exchnge for digitalID system. You'd better know how to create value on your own or it's going to be social credits for you!

[@ralphhebgen7067]

Liquid democracy? I give my vote to x for biotechnology, and to Y for bioethics? What world do you live in - we’ve just seen an election that was basically decided on the FEELING that there are too many immigrants and that people were better off under Trump. Normal people are not like you two. Normal people cannot spell ethics, and because they cant, they dont know what bioethics IS. Normal people think about their jobs, and whether they will be able to play catch with their boy in the yard (“kick the ball around with the little one in the garden” - translation for Brits). I agree democracy may warrant a re-think, but anything that gives MORE direct power to individuals has to be resisted. We need more representative democracy, not less, no forms of direct democracy (like quadratic voting etc), and more proportional representation (rather than majority voting).

Sometimes I think Salim has done too much LSD and has a loose grip on reality.

Peter is a democrat and Salim is a Republican. Simple.

You don't need a country... Small communities self determining their future... Nation states are terrible for abundance... Salim my friend, we have the same thought and what you are describing is Marxism / anarchy. See what Marx said in "the fragment on machines"
