[@zakupoprodaju1615]

Regarding the last answer where Harari prefers trust-based money vs non trust-based Bitcoin, I think he got it wrong (or I'm getting it wrong 😀). When we talk about trust-based money, that trust should be trust in at least 2 things. Trust that money has its function of exchange and that it has its function of preserving value. The problem of today's money is the problem of preserving value. People no longer have trust in institutions that print money and in this way destroy the function of preserving value. That is the main reason why Bitcoin created. Precisely in order to restore the function of trust in the preservation of value.

[@istvannagy1849]

I guess it is a trade-off. Bitcoin sure would preserve value better, but could not be used to as a monetary policy tool where the central bank can stimulate or slow the economy by increasing or decreasing money supply.

[@thoralder4963]

I think you’re on the right track, possibly you are a bitcoin maxi like Michael Saylor, unfortunately bitcoin is old technology. It’s not 21 it is extremely expensive to use with gas fees, it’s slow and they’re simply not enough of it. For future financial transactions Accompany like Ripple and it’s to XRP is a much better choice because of its utility Bitcoin could be considered as maybe a store of value because of peoples belief in it like digital gold The problem is if you want to make money by investing, you should’ve invested in bitcoin years ago now there still might be another 10 X but in reality investment like with XRP more likely to have a 1000 X Just like in 2017 increased in value by 62,000%

[@ALENlanciotti]

Da un lato si può dire che il bitcoin è nato sulla sfiducia nelle istituzioni, ma dall'altro sulla fiducia nelle persone che usano tale moneta, bypassando le istituzioni. Lasciando da parte l'ideologia alla base dello strumento finanziario, conta quante persone sono coinvolte nel suo utilizzo, cioè fanno concreto affidamento sulle altre grazie ad esso: il numero è mostruosamente minore rispetto alla finanza istituzionale, e la possibilità di investire bitcoin ricade comunque nel mercato globale (compri azioni di una compagnia di i.a., non mandi bitcoin personalmente al proprietario). E non stiamo considerando l'eventualità di una gestione dell'i.a. della finanza: se inventano una "banca globale gestita da i.a." (che raduna ciò che già sostanzialmente è), quasi sicuramente sarà sotto il controllo di un governo (seppur indirettamente), o sperabilmente di tutti quelli coinvolti (sul piano legale... anche se l'UE difficilmente potrebbe fare leggi per regolare una compagnia americana, salvo limitarla sul proprio territorio, limitando sé stessa nel concreto); oppure ce ne saranno più d'una, che si interfacceranno... ma è quasi impossibile che la popolazione arrivi a creare un sistema decentrato gestito da i.a., come pure starne fuori. Chissà

[@zakupoprodaju1615]

@@thoralder4963 I'm not BTC maxi. BTC is not important, the principle is important. If a better technology comes along that will preserve the function of the store of value, I will gladly embrace it. No currency in the history of mankind that was based on trust has survived

[@mazetoeden9334]

What does preserving value even mean? Prices change not only because money lost one of its functions but also because things get easier (cheaper) or harder (more expensive) to make

[@darek795]

On the basic level everyone understands money - everyone uderstands that money is equivalent of goods . It's not magic - people get a paper which they could exchange for certain amount of goods. People could could trade goods for another goods or for work but it would be very inconvenient so we use money for convenience.

[@BertWald-wp9pz]

You do not need to understand something to know it has caused a problem. We like to think intelligence allows prediction so we can avoid a problem - think climate change. However all this does is to continue until a point of failure we could not predict. So it will always be, with or without AI. We need to focus on conjecture/analysis and failure management.

[@ALENlanciotti]

Splendido riassunto, sempre lucido. Non mi sorprende che la gente stia perdendo interesse nella politica, essendo questa all'inseguimento della finanza, che ora è a sua volta all'inseguimento della tecnologia. Soprattutto vedendo politici che, per dimostrare la propria competenza in materia digitale, riescono tutt'al più a fare video su tiktok. Mi sorprende piuttosto che un intervento come questo non susciti obiezioni più proficue o proposte serie... mentre invece si stenta a seguire la questione. Cioè si spera di comprendere un'intelligenza aliena (pensando istantaneamente a creature verdi dallo spazio), e si fatica a star dietro a un professore chiarissimo. Degli esempi di cosa intendo. L'obiezione riguardo agli aerei non ha senso in termini di numeri e non coglie l'irraggiungibilità cognitiva: un sacco di gente comprende il funzionamento del volo e degli apparecchi, tra scienziati, costruttori e piloti vari, probabilmente più dell'1%... e, seppur a molti non interessi, ci sono scuole per imparare. Mentre la finanza è ciò che permette di studiare, comprare materiali, pagare dipendenti, come pure i prodotti venduti durante il volo. Uguale col discorso sulle responsabilità, in cui si dice che l'umano è settato sul pretendere responsabili: non è così... basta fare un giro in macchina, e (nonostante meccanico, controlli e assicurazione) se si ferma al massimo diamo un calcio a una ruota, e chiamiamo soccorsi stradali, ovviamente senza incolpare neanche loro. Sulla faccenda "scienza umana insuperabile nell'incappare a caso in certe scoperte": ci sono già livelli di conoscienza impredittibili attraverso formule, e se ne fanno ricostruzioni digitali, che poi si dimostrano fondate, e statisticamente più affidabili di "boh, proviamo". Perciò il digitale è già strumento prevalente di ricerca nell'ignoto. Avrei chiesto... Come potranno non scomparire le nazioni sul piano giuridico (essendo già oggi un limite idiota al controllo della finanza globale)? Come si può sperare di regolare l'evoluzione tecnologica quando se ne fa una gara internazionale? (Mi pare come chiedere il disarmo nucleare quando senza una bomba neanche si viene considerati). E infine, se non si dovrebbe riversare la democrazia (cioè il potere di controllo legale da parte della popolazione) nel digitale (ad ora più che altro subìto), con la possibilità di intervenire sulla tassazione delle big tech (che ora pagano meno di un muratore o di un fornaio)? Non importa... forza cyber-tirannosauro!

Yuval Harari is one of my all time favorite person on some original thinking. On Sapiens he was awesome. But Sadly he is lost in recent years.

Could technically be some new math that cracks it in the future one day like quantum np=p ++ processor.

(demand-side-data meets provider-side-data ==> optimize access to resources for maximum output towards the people`s needs) ...

The energy requirements for AI is exactly the reason why I'm thinking that it would be better or probably more practical to have the AI algorithms figure out how to compress themselves so that then maybe we can get the same outcome with like 1% of what we think we're going to need in the future. In short use AI to create better versions of itself that are more efficient.

How do you trust the decisions from something you don't understand ? AI is not a God, and it is not "good" by any means, it is "analytical" at best. Not to say we should not strive to use it to explore what we can't, but do you think that we should wait for a "black box" to solve everything for us ? This is dangerously naive. Some reasons we want to understand them: 1. They are not moved by "good intentions", just data, so we can suffer in the process; 2. They are not perfect, how do we justify their mistakes ? Just hope the frequency is low and brace ourselves for the next hit in the face ? 3. If an AI decision accidentally kills someone that matters to you, what happened ? ...

I admire his intelect but always he speaks about the terrible future ahead us. In this video besides the spoken message his face is showing so much sadness. Still, amazing thinker

"The best way to predict the future is to create it"

[@briaf3370]

Most of the media sugar coats things for all of us. Critical thinking people should put ideas above any filtered information that is soothing for our child like brains.

I read and admire Yuval Noah Harari's books. However, this 1% of finance experts are often people burdened with human flaws such as greed, selfishness, lack of empathy, and with such experts we are guaranteed further financial crises. The professor says that currently we can identify and hold accountable people responsible for errors in the financial system, but that's how it was in 2008. They received great severance pay and bonuses. Let's not demonize artificial intelligence. It is salvation for humanity. Also because it is created by wise and ethical people. Unfortunately, people, especially uneducated people, can be manipulated relatively easily. Do we prefer such people to be led by Hitler, Stalin, Putin, etc., or perhaps by a well-constructed artificial intelligence? Without artificial intelligence, humanity with its flaws will lead to the catastrophe of our civilization. The professor highly praises the invention of nations. Of course, this is wonderful and useful, but in current conditions it is anachronistic. Only artificial intelligence will succeed in creating humanity as one nation. If it fails, it will destroy our planet, which is so unique in the known universe.

The real question is, are you a person or AI 😅

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 1 Corinthians 15:3 that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

The consequences that our actions and decisions develop and that interact with each other have exceeded our own capacity to adapt. The current economic model represents a threat by enhancing it with AI. It will simply magnify the differences. The important thing is to accept that humanity is what it is, with its wars and weapons and greed and individualism, and that is when we understand that we are moving too fast for who we are. We are not prepared to introduce changes that are, above all, questionable in themselves. Sometimes we consider that we are all equal, but that is not the case, and what we should is have equal rights, and we have not achieved that yet. Shalom

The reference to GPTs (General Purpose Technologies) seemed to imply that "AI" is not one. I am curious how long it will take humanity to see the suite of tools and algorithms we call "AI" attain GPT status. Yuval, do you consider "AI" a GPT? Cheers

[@AbAb-th5qe]

GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, not what you said.

[@kurtisbunker7724]

Sorry, calling out GPTs in a video about Transformers will cause confusion. This is the GPTs that were in discussion that I am curious about. I have heard many in the AI safety/Risk arguments say that they are not GPTs yet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_technology

What is modern AI technologically? It is a computational network where outputs are fed back to be inputs, and there is a repeated self-feedback loop to the network beyond human ability to match the computation? But from that perspective, humans have already allowed an AI to almost instantly change everything, in 1972, with the publication of the book The Limits of Growth. With that book, its qualitative predictions of collapse of civilization in a few decades under plausible trends was simply irrefutable. From that point, all of humanity, and I do mean all that matters, knew for a fact that it was impossible to bring everyone then, about 3.5 billion, to First World living standards in a sustainable way, let alone the present 8 billion. Within a couple of years, during a state of Emergency, India would for example forcibly sterilize around 8 million men. The complexity of financial systems due to lax regulation, blamed on Reagon and Thatcher, was actually a symptom of the loss of faith that truly conservative asset management was no longer possible, that society needed a miracle to continue. And so it has been ever since then -- there is the universal belief that life would be better if as many as 3/4 of people or even more simply disappeared. And thus there is no effort anywhere except maybe Finland to do the most basic things such as simply building enough housing, because no one believes in such things anymore. All because of one AI program's results, in 1973.

The right way is to combine AI with Blockchain to protect

[@martina2276]

I really appreciate Prof. Harari´s knowledge, his talks and his books. However, I think he is not correct when he claims that Bitcoin is " a currency built on distrust". Exactly the opposite is true. Bitcoin is a currency in which I can have trust because it is built on the blockchain, a system that can not be manipulated by any goverments and central banks. It has evolved out of mistrust in the traditional banking system after the financial crises in 2008.

And i thougt it's the source to bet in If you buy at the black Market:)

[@Moonlight96543]

"Don’t Trust, Verify" is Bitcoin's catchphrase. However, you are correct that there is still a lot of trust involved, just a different kind of trust compared to that in governments and financial institutions.
