@JamFraserr @beemdvp Ah, my bad. Yeah, that's technically not possible to "rank" someone on TG AFAIK

@beemdvp This would be a fun way to drop into another coin's TG and explain how moderation should be done, but can only be done on Radix.

@JamFraserr @beemdvp I don't think anyone mentioned "ranking". Plus, I don't even think there is a ranking feature in TG

@beemdvp How hard would this be implement? I'm fully on board with this idea.

A well-thought out forecast from my Puerto Rican friend Sean King: Three things stand set to utterly transform society over the next decade—crypto, robotics, and AI. Right now, I want to talk about the last two, and what I’m saying here could not be more important. Here’s the deal: As of late last week, when OpenAI released its new mode (named “o3”), which comes only 3 *months* after the release of its prior model. It has an estimated IQ above 150. There are very, very few intellectual tasks that it can’t already do as well or better than humans and at far less cost. And the very few things it can’t do better than humans will diminish at an exponential rate until there’s simply no intellectual task left where humans can rival AI. This will almost certainly happen within ten years, likely within 5 and possibly within 2. This has massive implications. Yes, it will take some time for even super-competent AI to be widely adopted in business and in our personal lives, but ten years from now and probably closer to five, it will be all but impossible for the vast majority of humans to get paid any reasonable amount of money for intellectual labor. And this transition could happen much more rapidly than even the experts (who have been proven wrong time and again about how rapidly AI is being developed) expect because businesses who move most rapidly to AI and robotic employees will have enormous and insurmountable advantages over those who don’t. Their profits will soar. And every competitor will be forced to quickly do the same, to sell out to those who have or to file for bankruptcy. In short, the game theory here is very clear, and it means one thing: Starting very soon, humans won’t be able to get paid for intellectual labor. And this includes especially humans who by virtue of their high IQs have historically enjoyed privileged places in our society—engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, economists, research scientists, chemists, biologists, physicists, etc. But it also includes pretty much every other variety of intellectual laborer such as teachers, librarians, journalists, graphic designers, coders, authors, film makers, song writers, poets, musicians, call center workers, data entry workers, therapists, life coaches, etc. ALMOST NONE OF THESE PEOPLE WILL HAVE THEIR PRESENT JOBS IN TEN YEARS, MAYBE FIVE. AND THEY WILL STRUGGLE MIGHTILY TO FIND REPLACEMENT JOBS. Even more, AI enhanced computers or humanoid robots will very shortly thereafter replace most all *physical* labor. They will drive your car/truck, mow your lawn, trim your shrubs, weed your garden, clean your house, make your food, wrap your Christmas presents, tend bar, assemble goods (including even new/additional humanoid robots), mine gold/coal/minerals, guard your properties, etc., all far cheaper and more reliably than any human. Unfortunately almost nobody (other than AI insiders) is taking this seriously. Everyone thinks that they have lots more time before they are obsoleted, or that the transition will happen slowly so that they can retrain for something else. But none of those things are true (and don’t listen to those who insist otherwise). We have only a few more years before all human intellectual labor is obsoleted, and only ten or fifteen maximum before virtually all human physical labor is replaced. What jobs will remain for humans in ten to twenty years? It’s hard to say if any will, but if so I imagine that it will be those that involve physical human connection—so sex work, cuddle therapists, massage therapists and perhaps to a more limited degree chiropractors, midwives, hairstylists and the like. Our bodies relax and release an important cocktail of chemicals, oxytocin among them, into our blood streams in response to human touch. We are hard wired to seek out these chemicals, and until robots are so human-like that they can trick our biological systems into such releases, healthy humans will still seek out physical connection. But it’s exceedingly unlikely that occupations involving physical human connection can employ all the soon-to-be unemployed. So how will everyone pay for things if there’s little to no human labor needed? Well, this is why you need to start thinking about this now. For one, and for the immediately foreseeable future, capital rather than labor will be what matters. If you don’t own capital, then you’ll likely get left behind. But not just any capital will do. You need to be an owner of companies that are going to experience consistent, exponential growth in the new Exponential Age. Which companies are those? That’s beyond the scope of this essay, but it’s time to start paying attention and make sure that you have significant exposure to several of them. And then there’s bitcoin. There will soon-ish come a time when pretty much everything is priced in bitcoin, and since there’s relatively little bitcoin to go around, each one will be valued in the multiple millions (though always remember, and this is critical, that you can buy/use tiny fractions of a bitcoin). Because capital will be priced in bitcoin, the more wealth that capital creates (via AI and robotics), the greater purchasing power holders of bitcoin will have. So…get some. And hold it. The good news is that even though you may struggle to earn a living, living won’t cost very much. To be sure, you’ll need to find a way to pay for food, energy and housing, but everything else (including especially anything requiring intellectual labor) will be dirt cheap and trend constantly towards zero when priced in bitcoin. Many important things that are expensive today, including nearly all professional services, will border on free in the near future and get exponentially cheaper every year. The most valuable resource in the AI and robotics era will be compute. Countries with the most compute will experience the highest standards of living. And compute is primarily dependent upon energy, so countries with the lowest energy costs (which especially includes the USA if/when it ever decouples from the international energy markets) will do exceedingly well. By contrast countries that import nearly all of their energy (I’m looking at you, China) will definitely struggle to keep up and ultimately won’t. I imagine that many countries will implement some sort of “guaranteed basic income”. That may come in the form of a monthly stipend paid in currency or, more likely, in the form of ensuring that every citizen has access to some basic minimal level of compute (i.e., some basic level of free AI access for all). This free AI will be your teacher, lawyer, doctor, therapist, life coach, mediator, and much, much more. In short, you’ve got about four to five years to prepare for what’s coming. One of the most important things you can do to ensure that you have an above average quality of life in the new Exponential Age is to become a capitalist—that is, become a shareholder of businesses that are set to create and operate the AI and the robots. Choose wisely and your wealth will exponentially increase over time while the cost of living (as measured in bitcoin or even constant dollars) will dramatically decrease. I know some of you think I’m crazy. But you’re the same people who thought I was crazy in 2012 when I first started talking incessantly about bitcoin, in 2014 when I first started talking about Ethereum, in 2016 when I said that Trump might win the election (he did), in early 2020 when I said that the “China virus” would be a worldwide pandemic that would totally remake society, in 2021 when I said that the cities would soon start to be hollowed out and in 2023 when I said that we had reached “Peak Woke” and in 2024 when I said that Trump would win the election and that it wouldn’t be particularly close. In other words, I’m typically right when it matters. And the coming Exponential Age matters greatly. So start getting your mind around it now and act accordingly.
