Good interview, I dont understand why everyone is so negative in the comments. Just because he was bearish on crypto, the other stuff was still very interesting.

[@czarquetzal8344]

Because what he says merely propagates misinformation on AI. and his dystopian speculation is articulated without a definite solution. Worse, this guy whose expertise is on Folktale Studies merely prattles.

[@AL_THOMAS_777]

I can tell you why they are so negative: Their BIG EGOs do NOT want to hear that AI will replace them pretty SOON ! This is indeed devastating, but we have to face the truth and the facts: The majority IS doomed ->

This is the best interview of Yuval ive seen, and ive seen them all. Good job guys. I look forward to the day Yuval starts trusting block chain technology more, and see it as part of the future of Ai-governed technology.

[@wantstocomment7092]

That portrayal of information as power struggle is simplistic. It is moreso that it affects the world and less so that one necessarily seeks power in disseminating information. Information asymmetries (panopticon, SEC concerns) are power, over some to the benefit of others, or to benefit all. Not necessarily conspiratorial. Just simply power.

[@bradleyomick4235]

Great show. Yuval is awesome. Judging by the comments, religion seems to bring out the best in humans.

[@Jamesrwatsonx]

As a collective, our evolution hinges on the truths we discover and share together through our actions and communication. These shared truths form the foundation of our progress. Any other information, if it isn’t part of that shared journey or isn’t relevant to our evolution, is just noise-subjective and ineffective. It doesn’t clutter or harm us because it lacks the power to shape our collective reality. The real danger is in assuming that this 'junk' information holds the same weight as the truths that genuinely contribute to our collective understanding and growth. Truth that matters is discovered in our shared experience and connection with the world.

Other animals do trade, though. We taught chimps to trade basic coins for bananas, and crows and ravens bring back gifts for humans when they feed them. The instinct is there, humans just have brains that extrapolate differently than other animals. Dolphins also have made interpretative art!

[@irrealislife]

Why don’t we have a forum that airs on a CSPAN like channel where 3 experts on each side of an issue makes an argument for their side to a panel of judges who are also experts in the field? If a topic needs several hours with intermissions, or days, those people can decide an appropriate amount of time, and then post the arguments, deliberation, and results online. That helps inform the public so we can make an informed democratic decision based on the best arguments from both sides when it comes to issues.

The distrust guy. Listening to him today, it's clear why he would say what he said then. I think if you had really gotten him rolling, you could have coaxed him to say something that sounded opposite on bitcoin and probably 35% of your audience wouuldn't be able cope with the narrative shift. Comments would have been off the chain. Just notes. Good show!

[@johnrichmond007]

Truth is freedom and individual in that it is more difficult to bind ppl together with it. Lies and myth are the glue that binds and moves masses. I love it. And when he talked about type 2 chaotic systems, I imagine how the lies told masquerading as truth is a method to control the mob. I resent these lies as an individual but recognize the reasons for them as a citizen. I wonder what kind of world this would be if we could only disseminate truth.

AI has already ended Democracy and it can’t even get simple stuff right

[@umabugde4978]

It will. Since power will be concentrated in hands of few big tech companies (as it has always been) who can afford the cost of AI infrastructure and training and associated costs. Since AI will fundamentally change how we live, it will have far reaching consequences in terms of decline of democracy unless adequately regulated

[@LesterVMackenzie]

In response to religion not owning mistakes, I think the Roman church admitted in 1992 that it was wrong to condemn Galileo for his support of heliocentrism. This is a clear example of religion acknowledging an error and re-evaluating its understanding of scripture in light of scientific discoveries. The Church’s eventual recognition of its mistake demonstrates its capacity to admit fallibility and seek reconciliation with both truth and science. Quote: "The Church’s attitude to Galileo was a mistake, and for this, we must humbly recognize it." - Pope John Paul II

[@shinsyotta]

This guy is the antithesis of crypto.

[@Mecagothits]

Fr

[@TheControlBlue]

He clearly is a Centralist. Data is too decentralized compared to "Truth".

[@TheControlBlue]

It's very, very interesting.. He clearly believes in network, but I feel like he inherently thinks a network has to be centered on something. I don't think he believes a network can ever be decentralized.. If that's the case, then yes, indeed he is the anti-thesis of crypto (although his ideas are brilliant)!

[@shinsyotta]

@ Which ideas do you think are brilliant?

[@TheControlBlue]

@@shinsyotta people communicate a framework of ideas rather than the ideas themselves. That information network he is talking about. For example, the idea of "Fake News". What people mean when they talk about "Fake News" is NOT the veracity of the news, it's if it comes from the framework that creates news that they associate with.

[@Jamesrwatsonx]

I believe he's mistaken. The nature of most information is deeply tied to how we, as humans, function and interact. It's in our shared behaviors and collective experiences that we form an understanding of truth. Much of what we deem as true is what we share and confirm with each other. On the other hand, information that remains unshared or personal lacks the consistency to be universally true. The problem with speaking on behalf of the majority is that the speaker is always an individual, and the truth they present is inevitably limited by their personal perspective.

[@DC-uc4sh]

So how does this show what Harari said about information is mistaken?

[@Jamesrwatsonx]

@DC-uc4sh How he refers to information is horrible. To consider all information equal first off, then say how we will be misguided by it is completely wrong. Information is not equal. That's number one. Our relationship to the information as individuals is where it gets messy because that relationship as individuals we have isn't more significant than the relationship we share as a collective to information. The problem isn't in the information. The problem is in the approach to the information he takes, as do most individuals. That mindset is more about reductionism. It's linear and simply incorrect. For him to claim he cares for humanity yet has still not shown he can see out the eyes of humanity in a more holistic way, is somewhat disappointing.

[@pierrelabounty9917]

Hes a book writer. No more right than the revisionist , DaVinci Code. He is a revisionist polemic historian. Thats not bad. But having a point of view is a piece of it all. He knows that. Nothing inherently bad about a person having a view. We expect that. We need to look into things. He does that. I have always made my forays.

there actually are ways to reset certain rules and views in the church, especially as long as the councils were held. It just takes a very long time. huge consensus needs to be achieved basically.

I've seen his curriculum vitae. His undergraduate major is General Philosophy and his graduate degree is Comparative Religion. His specialization is Folklore Studies and Jewish Mysticism. Hahahaha. None equipped him to be a historian and to be an AI expert. Listen to Noam Chomsky instead.

[@sp-uf6tx]

how tf did they get yuval on this show lmaoo

[@Rookieism]

Is what he is saying "truth" or another "fiction" in the vast Information network? 🤔

[@Rookieism]

There is a difference between Facts (information backed by scientific research and replicable), Truth and Fiction (falsehood). L

[@Rookieism]

A Truth and a Fact may not necessarily be the same thing? A statement by Confucius, like "Know what you know, and know what you do not know, that is the beginning of wisdom". The people who find this statement as resonating with their own life experiences may call this "Truth." Yet this Truth is not a Fact in the scientific sense but the people who considered this as their Truth are certainly neither deluded nor deceived?

[@czarquetzal8344]

Definitely fiction.

[@exserentia]

[@the_good_citizen]

i think the body language of the interviewers is too casual. Both feet should be on the ground and they should lean forward a bit and not relax backwards. Straight backed chairs are always better than sofas.

[@Saltatory_]

Brilliantly worded and wrong. What we had in the past was not more truth but more agreement. That agreement was fueled by less information. The common current hand-wringing about the lack of agreement in our politics is due largely to the fact that people know more today but disagree about what to do about it. It's true that there is a cost to information. It's also true that debunking bad information is expensive. However, good information, that which comports well with reality, also had outsized benefits. I don't have to worry about flat-earthers because their theory means their rockets won't work and mine will. The place where we do have issues is in coming to political agreements. But the issue isn't that we don't agree but that we shouldn't expect to. On a channel like Bankless, I would expect people to agree that more decentralization is better. Let's not expect to win political points through competitive information and argument. Let's expect to test ideas against the background of the real world and let the ones that work win. Let a thousand flowers bloom. Love you guys

[@SpiritualEvolution14]

What holds Christianity together is Christ himself. It is the force of Christ in the spiritual world. What helped Christianity spread was people who had the christ impulse working within them to spread the word. They then passed along this impulse from the spiritual world. The thing that breaks up all Yuval's arguments is the existent of a spiritual world. He's basically a hardcore materialist. Which is easy to become nowadays, I sense Bankless hosts are also materialists. Who only believe in their biological physical processes as "truth". Elon Musk is also a well known materialist as he calls us "meat puppets". But if humanity doesn't wake up to the spiritual world, we will end up in an abyss of materialism.

[@randomiseduser]

No, there were multiple decades between the actual verified recorded life and death of Jesus and the writings that spread his story (the Bible etc), anything could have happened, we really have no clue cos a lot of bs and myths could arise in the decades between the actual events and the time when they were written down.. so what holds Christianity together is the STORY of Jesus Christ.

[@SpiritualEvolution14]

@randomiseduser no, the reason there were long periods of time between the writing of the gospel and his life were the fact that the writers were initiates. They could see into the spiritual world and read through akashic record. Yuvals blatant denial and disclusion of spiritual research and spiritual experiences is telling.
