Making a world thats safe for intelligence

 Inventing a new form of money that can evade government control, blazes a trail for rogue AI a mile wide.  Cryptoanarchy will reign. Govts will fall.

The people that brought about America’s transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial powerhouse did not survey farmers about what mechanization would do to their farms.

" If there is one sector in the US that is still globally dominant and profitable, it is tech,” Boston University historian Quinn Slobodian said. “They can be confident that even if there is a change of leadership, the next person will have to dance for them anyway.”

Critically, there is a bipartisan consensus that ensuring the US’s capabilities in artificial intelligence remain ahead of China’s is of paramount importance. Fear of Chinese catch-up is likely to keep driving policy, overriding voters’ concerns about the risks embodied in this new technology.  And now we have bigger prediction markets, better consensus drives the narative. The next phase includes hybrid quantum. Less noise. More signal.  And so long as some quite okay boomers are dying its incumbent on us all to bring the Singularity forward. Anything less spells depraved indifference. Yes?
