In the age of AI, formal mandatory state education is completely useless & outdated. I want a Switzerland 🇨🇭 where everyone can choose home/community- schooling.

Even though AI advances me by a 10x, it motivates me everyday to try harder because a 100x feels within reach

I break it down: We still argue about consciousness and have the same questions 3,000 years after Aristotle. Science discovered a lot, but can't help with consciousness. It's not about AI finding an answer. Philosophy is not solvable, because there is no bridge between the subjective and the objective. But it's enough if people think that AI is conscious. Two-thirds of Americans already attribute some consciousness to ChatGPT. Over a third globally say an AI understood their emotions. From here on, AI will just get better at understanding you. What gets worse is the research on consciousness, because the next generation of philosophers will be trained by AI.

Big personal news: I’ve been recruited by Google DeepMind for a new Philosopher position (actual title), focusing on machine consciousness, human-AI relationships, and AGI readiness, starting in May. I’ll continue my research & teaching at Cambridge part-time. Absolutely stoked!

Jedes Werkzeug, das uns schlauer machen soll, macht uns am Ende dümmer. Schrift sollte das Gedächtnis verbessern. Hat es ersetzt. Suchmaschinen sollten Wissen zugänglicher machen. Jetzt merkt sich keiner mehr was. Durch AI verlernen viele, selber zu schreiben und zu denken, während es gleichzeitig wichtiger wird als je zuvor. Welche kognitive Fähigkeit bleibt dem Menschen noch? Vielleicht Urteilen. Das braucht ein breites Verständnis der Welt

A paradox: articulation becomes more important with AI, while at the same time it gets worse. Like the invention of writing worsened memory. Like the search engine worsened retaining facts. Memory, then articulation, then synthesis. And it accelerates asymmetries. Only a few will get better at writing through AI. What cognitive capacity remains for humans?

@xydotdot Good post. The paradox is AI will worsen writing skills for most. Only a few will sharpen theirs. Like a pharaoh said to the inventor of writing: it won't improve memory, it will replace it.

Zug (Switzerland) might be the best place to live for crypto in Europe: - low taxes (22%) - corporate tax (11.85%) - crypto friendly banks (Sygnum & AMINA) - no stablecoin limits - crypto is seen as useful, you can pay taxes with it - freedom of speech? - decent timezones
bigmanrj@web3rj

the uk might be the worst place to live for crypto - high taxes - restrictive banking systems - introducing stablecoin limits - crypto is seen as an illegible income for mortgages of loans - no freedom of speech - horrible timezone for trading is there anywhere worse?

AI is not just a tech story. The Vatican has never assigned a personal advisor to the pope for a major technology. For AI, it did. In the shadow of AI headlines, the tech industry and the Vatican are debating who gets to define its meaning and direction. Why? Because AI touches a wide range of topics, including man, God, knowledge, consciousness, the economy, science, and more. This topic may seem too abstract to many, but I think it matters because both institutions have high leverage over industry and politics. It will affect how AI is shaped and used, and what role it takes in society.

I don’t understand the ignorance of some people towards AI. AI can already takeover 11.7% of US wage value. It does not yet. But if it does, we would see 5x more layoffs than we see currently in tech. With improved models, potentially reaching 20 Trillion tokens per model until 2030, estimations are that 20-30% of US wage value can be automated. It will affect approx. 40% of jobs world wide, in some developed countries even 60%. Additionally, AI will hyper-accelerate asymmetries. Those who master it will dramatically outperform everyone else. For everyone behind, the only hope is that they developed to a fully human being, and not a narrow worker. The latter will be left behind in an obsolete world with nothing left to save them.

The synthesis of the great books of the western world: Broad education, not narrow job training. Specialization is a 20th century phenomenon. Before it was called slaves. Much of history trained people for function, not for freedom. Many leaders now say the same in modern words: adaptability, creativity, cross-domain thinking. It’s upon us to educate for strength and change, not only efficiency.

Fat tails matter here. Rare and extreme events shape outcomes more than most people think. AI and latest geopolitical shift speeds up this kind of change. So adaptability is not just a nice extra. It is becoming core.

AI sparked a debate about generalism vs. specialization. I think most get it wrong. Here is my synthesis: Specialization is fragile, generalism is anti-fragile. Generalism, built well, creates more upside in a changing world than downside. A thread.
