Just listened to Joe Rogan 2156 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0RMUNGWB0P22Ka6E71zV5b)
Follow-up thoughts:
AI promises unlimited information. Nuclear energy promised unlimited energy. How do we not have unlimited energy today?
If this parallel was valid, I‘d lay it out like this:
- The first atom bomb was THE thing because it was used in the real world and we perceived it discretly.
- Scaling (building more powerful bombs) is comparatively easy.
- But it‘s not obvious how to control and distribute useful civil applications. These engineering problems cannot just be solved theoretically. The solutions have to be acted out.
- We may not accept unlimited information because they come from simulated truths which have not been acted out (yet).
- So we‘ve probably got more time than some of us software-hybritians think.
Bonus questions:
- At which interfaces is Bitcoin connected to the real world?
- Does Bitcoin behave differently in the Matrix?
