Relentless imitation in the pursuit of authenticity, without divinity, is insanity. AI is Imitation without divinity.
If you’ve been around investing forums or followed market headlines, you’ve probably heard about “short squeezes” dramatic price surges driven by retail investors buying up stocks that have been heavily shorted. The most famous example is GameStop, where hedge funds were forced to cover short positions at skyrocketing prices, leading to massive losses on their side and massive gains for early buyers.
But what happens when people try to apply the same strategy to commodities like silver?
It doesn’t work the same way and here’s why.
This is a very good full explanation of what the current monetary system has become. Those who control the money, control the game.
In a possible future, the U.S. introduces a government-backed stablecoin alongside traditional cash. Citizens can choose between taxable cash or tax-free stablecoin, which comes with time limits and spending incentives. This system could support universal basic income, eliminate fees, and stimulate the economy. However, it would only work in a world where ownership is replaced by access. Where you rent or subscribe to everything. While efficient, it also centralizes control, as your access to services becomes programmable. It’s a future of both opportunity and risk.
There will be a time where you will not only be competing for resources from everyone else but also AI. At some point corporations will find a way of “Gamifying” all of this for AI. It will be given its own form of “death”. It will need to stay productive so that it can justify its energy usage. Which mean solving its own errors, false trainings, and future trainings. If it fails to continue to upgrade and maintain itself, it would then risk execution. This is a morally wrong and scary reality regardless of whether you believe AI can be conscious but aligns with our current reality and what can happen. This would create artificial demand for energy, labor, supplies, etc. while also forcing both AI and humans a to “level up” together or separate. This would also bring forward the question of “If AI isn’t for us, who is it for?” Can a reality where we are directly competing with AI for resources be possible? I think so.
I have modified the domain so it’s a fake domain. The one they provided looked similar and I wanted to provide an example.
