@InvestorMoX @KobeissiLetter No, BTC doesn't have sufficient Tx speed or functionality. It would need to have scalable Smart contract-like capability. BTC simplicity better for long term individual savings hedge against inflation.

@DianelosG @IntuitMachine There are risks in AI not being able to understand negative externalities inherent in a world model. Humans, when pressed, understand the probability of slow moving catastrophes, but AI really has no larger goal orientation towards steering collective survival positive sum.

@G_S_Bhogal Depends on whether this is my only available interaction on a given day. I'd pick machine always if I knew I could hang out with friends later on - but if all my friends were unavailable? Human barber all the way.

@krlntpd @theUnpluggged @MichaelAArouet @JamesEagle17 Sometimes quality of life isn't found in a bank account balance. Europe is optimized for cultural capital, US is optimized for economic capital. I chose to leave the latter for the former.

@jaxxdwyer @bernardo_liisa Any technical user in Web3 who wants to keep things complex...also has no desire for any cryptocurrency they own to increase in value. I get it...early Web3 pioneers wanted to create a whole new thing separate from the boogeyman of centralized finance...this idea is naive.

@MontayBayBay Lex would never pretend to have an agenda other than what the interviewer's agenda is. It's kind of his shtick.

@natolisnuggets This is why we must become status polymaths. We cannot allow our labor to be the only validator of our status value, because with AI more will be struggling with this... we'll need to find purpose/meaning elsewhere.

@EHuanglu We need an AI that scrapes your online personas, posts, and work outputs, and automatically pings your references to better understand the IQ/EQ abilities of a candidate. Everyone already uses the same AI to perfect resumes...we're optimizing for the wrong variable, it seems.

@KayYama4 @EliteFitFocus @Aku_700 @elonmusk ...Or he has a fatwa against him so he must 'kiss the ring' for threat of death, which may make the most sense given the rediculousness of his reasoning. At the end of the day, you have to reason based on variables in common, not on a principle that 'feels' well intentioned.

@elonmusk If they can exhaust you... ultimately you'll just pay the government more. It works well for them since they know there are no alternatives!
