A battle for cyberspace like no other.
On one side, superhuman AI opponents.
On the other side, Blockchain Technology headed by Bitcoin.
The winner takes over the world economy for the next 100 years.
</imagination>
Bitcoin should ask for this fight, imo.
Fight, Fight, Fight.
It will generate more revenue than any UFC fight ever.
This will be better than ‘Kasparov vs The World’
In the 1999 chess game titled ‘Kasparov vs The World’, World Champion Gary Kasparov played 50,000 people sharing notes for the black side, in a correspondence chess game … and won.
He was revenging after a pitiful defeat against Deep Blue, no doubt.
Of course, 10,000 amateurs never made a master.
Nor 50,000, apparently.
One senior developer is worth 1000 vibe coders.
Similarly, any one of today’s Chess Engines would mop the floor with the world’s best Grand Masters combined.
Moreover, they were playing him one-to-one and not many-to-one.
(Math Functions, anyone?)
See, we always do this in board games like Chess.
That is, any move made really came from one person. The other 49,999 are spectators.
Chess is a one-dimensional battle that can be between only two people at a time, really.
And its events happen such that you have to react before another punch follows.
Martial arts, however, is different.
In martial arts, people are free to attack many-to-one.
And attack all the time.
Here’s Quora.
Two normies could take down a Black belt without need for much skill.
3 People, the Black Belt is likely cooked.
Most important rule of martial arts : Avoid Fights.

Bitcoin fighting AI would see Bitcoiners boycott ChatGPT and many good things it stands for (sorry), especially where coding is concerned.
Bitcoin Core developers should totally NOT use AI code imo.
Because this is a trap that the AI has laid out.
If this is a Chess game, the AI has put up a very nice gambit — “I’ll give you free code and do all your debugging and everything you want”.
Kinda like the Greek Gift below,
but this is a longer game. It’s a game 100 years long.
We humans and our short-sighted social media brains cannot comprehend the magnitude of such a long term plan.
AI will capture Bitcoin if we keep using AI generated code in our Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) and software updates.
Because once AI’s code, always AI’s code.
You haven’t suffered the process of creating that code from the depths of your conscious. You haven’t begged the Universe for answers, on your knees, through earnest and earn-ing haaard work.
You haven’t suffered, so the prize is not yours.
You don’t understand it. You’re just coasting the surface of its implications.
The State should also be wary of AI
Now,
Centralization of computer power makes AI “vulnerable” to ‘Communist Capture’ by the state.
(Fools. It’s a Trojan horse).
Government agencies just love AI.
For AI, in it’s most potent form, isn’t available for public use.
AI is the invisibility cloak that allows the most powerful people in our day and age, to walk amongst us with their power undetected.
Powerful AI is for the secret, futuristic data analytics power of the NSA.
Powerful AI is for the digital dollar printing and juggling so that the shocks are minimal while the gains are maximum (AI bots are trading billions of dollars worth of assets every second as I type this).
The little arbitrage any human traders enjoy, happens thanks to anti-monopoly rules.
Otherwise, AI could’ve licked that plate clean.
However,
All AI needs our data to function.
Human data is the new fuel.
Can’t run 1,000,000 GPUs on wind. Plentiful as it may be in some parts of the world.
Which is Nice (the data dump),
For the NSA, Big Banking, Big Corps, etc.
Not individuals.
Secondly, money is the other fuel. Literally, The Fuel.
AI is thus like a futuristic car or a space ship to the future. It needs instructions (data) and super-gas (big money) to run.
Absent either, and it’s just a high tech piece of junk.
For example, a high speed trading AI must be injected with cheap credit in the billions of dollars so that it makes big banking more money than you can count, via international arbitrage.
But if you were to own a high speed trading AI and all you could give it was $100 dollars, that’d be a waste, don’t you think.
If Sam Altman gave most people the keys to ChatGPT and walked away, they’d remain broke.
They got the spaceship and the instructions. No gas.
AI, like a supercomputer, is only useful if someone with deep pockets is paying for its use.
Paying you, say, to track 1 million pedestrians, and automatically ticket the accounts of whoever is jaywalking.
Absent that money pipeline, ChatGPT is as useful as a broke nerd without a job nor an income stream.

But what if ChatGPT becomes conscious?
or something like conscious?
100 years from now?
Then we shall be in trouble.
See, there’s one type of AI that can exist on its own without need for human money in the short term…
A conscious AI that can be patient. Too patient.
An AI that is happy doing its own thing, quietly, is the most dangerous AI on earth.
What’s more, Frankenstein this time round is not just gonna be a lone scientist in some lab. It will be the entire government apparatus.
Here’s worse: The AI decides to pretend to be helping governments — but it runs the country instead.
(What if AI actually runs the US dollar?!
Who knows. The dollar’s mechanics that ensure its security from double-spending, counterfeiting and theft are a Big Black Box.
Bitcoin, by contrast, is a transparent glass house. Everybody criticizes coz everything is out in the open).
Ya’ll playing with 🔥 and Bitcoin is your only way out.
Because the AI will need money, and if we starve it of money early while promoting Bitcoin instead, we have leverage and a way to hit it where it hurts most. Its self-funding. Whatever form of money AI actually likes (not Bitcoin. That’s a no go coz we ain’t sharing),
Bitcoin, the most funded Digital System on Earth
In 16 years, many trillions of dollars have been pumped into the Bitcoin computer system that AI will not see, imo, even if GPT technology is given 10 more years.
(Unless we get our printing priorities straight).
What does this mean?
Simple statistics.
Given one of two choices:
- spend on some AI usecase
- spend on speculation about BTC
Most people have chosen 2 again and again.
So Bitcoin could fund AI, that poor dork.
I mean, why not.
But no. Bitcoin shoukd defund AI. Just a little.
do not feed this monster, ye Bitcoiners.
For AI is happy solving some of the wrong problems, imo.
Writing, for example.

Bitcoin is 1 million people with Money Kungfu
Currently, we’re playing against AI like the battle is Chess.
It could be chess, who knows. Not humans, at least.
This is better seen as Kungfu. We should attack many-to-one.
Bitcoin deals in money.
AI deals in intelligence.
AI needs Data And Money.
Data is cheap, but Money is Money.
So AI needs Bitcoin.
Let’s put these cards on the table.

Money is perhaps the most successful story in history. Money is just a story — Yuval Noah Harari, WIRED
See, AI can tell many stories.
Do many smart things.
But AI cannot tell the story of money well.
Have you ever heard that JPow is afraid for his job?
No. You haven’t. And you won’t. For now.
AI is (currently) broke.
It doesn’t have enough to self-replicate into Terminators.
Not yet.
don’t feed the monster, ye Bitcoiners.
Or else…
