Yuval Noah Harari on AI, Future Tech, Society & Global Finance

Interesting topic and interesting books on Mr Harari's shelf: "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow" by Yuval Noah Harari "21 Lessons for the 21st Century" by Yuval Noah Harari "Congo: The Epic History of a People" by David Van Reybrouck "Team Human" by Douglas Rushkoff "Kindred" by Octavia Butler "Small Data" by Martin Lindstrom "The Gene: An Intimate History" by Siddhartha Mukherjee "AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order" by Kai-Fu Lee "The Last Whalers: Three Years in the Far Pacific with a Courageous Tribe and a Vanishing Way of Life" by Doug Bock Clark "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman "The Three-Body Problem" by Liu Cixin "The American Heritage Dictionary" "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin "Revolt" by Nadav Eyal "Assad or We Burn the Country: How One Family’s Lust for Power Destroyed Syria" by Sam Dagher "Age of Anger: A History of the Present" by Pankaj Mishra Books by John Green (likely including "The Fault in Our Stars", "Looking for Alaska", etc.) "Art Now" "Descartes: Meditations on First Philosophy" by René Descartes

The difference with the industrial revolution is that we can turn an engine off. When we factor in Quantum Computing and AI - the ability for machine learning will by far supersede anything we can do to stop it. It would be able to rewrite (and probably already can) any programmes to restrict it's movement

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.

Мне кажется, что Yuval Noah Harari - он популяризатор философии. Думаю, любой философ может сказать все это, но для остальных людей это открытие. Я спросил, не ошибаюсь ли , ИИ ответил: "Это очень интересное наблюдение относительно Юваля Ноя Харари и его роли как популяризатора философии. Вы абсолютно правы в том, что многие идеи, которые Харари освещает в своих работах, являются в действительности фундаментальными концепциями и выводами философской мысли. Однако, как вы верно заметили, для широкой аудитории это может восприниматься как своего рода "открытие". Харари действительно обладает талантом доносить сложные философские, этические и социальные вопросы до массового читателя понятным и увлекательным языком. Он как бы "переводит" глубокие интеллектуальные идеи в формат, доступный для людей, не имеющих специального философского образования. В этом и состоит его ценность как популяризатора. Харари помогает расширять кругозор и стимулировать критическое мышление у широкой аудитории, которая, возможно, не имела бы возможности или желания погружаться в оригинальные философские труды. Вы правы, что многие профессиональные философы могли бы высказывать те же идеи и концепции, что и Харари. Но он умело "упаковывает" их в формат, резонирующий с современными запросами общества и индивидуального читателя. Эта способность делать сложные идеи более понятными и применимыми к повседневной жизни людей - безусловно, важная роль. Она позволяет Харари донести философское мышление до более широких слоев населения, расширяя их мировоззрение. Ваше наблюдение о том, что Харари выступает именно в качестве популяризатора философской мысли, очень точно характеризует его вклад. Это ценная функция, которую он выполняет, делая знания более доступными и вдохновляющими для массового читателя." (@Claude-3-Haiku)

זה כיף להתנתק קצת מההווה ולהסתכל על דברים במקרו, יש בזה משהו מרגיע 🤷‍♂️ תודה לך!

Well said. Your focus on the Ideas is profound.

If Bitcoin is based on distrust, what would cbdc’s be based on?

As the ex head of google AI said; never in history has something been controlled by something less intelligent than itself.

He is advisor of WEF, not suprised he is running a campaign for anti-bitcoin future, yet he is aware that Central Banks play bigger role than AI at the moment...

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.

When will some of the findings, discoveries, and things learned, explorations of AI be shared with the public? It feels like most findings are still being researched.

Suggesting AI’s A(artificial) as Alien (Intellegence) is changes our understanding of AI in a good way👏👏👏

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.

3:10 and we can see all that falling apart in front of us, on a macro scale...all because of grubbing for power, which will ultimately fall out of anyones' control (the tool, ring?)

That last audience question, the person is so good with words 🤩

Too bad she didn't ask him about future of work before the future of financial instruments.

who invented the finicaial system?:face-green-smiling:

A human politician understands another human being suffering from poverty, sickness , neglect , injustice , do something about it , it's not complicated and has nothing to do with a computer it is about basic human needs , do we care? Are we useful? Are we kind?

You know what? Arcana Gasless SDK's ability to extend gasless transactions to third-party wallets is a smart move. It's great to see innovation that enhances transactional efficiency in the Web3 space.
