Jordi is one of the few people in the world with a deep understanding of the concurrent singularities of AI and Bitcoin. He has particularly novel thoughts on the nature of money and markets post AGI/ASI. This was a fascinating discussion - hope you enjoy!
A few topics we discuss:
How Jordi became AGI/ASI pilled (language = code)
The concurrent singularities of AGI/Bitcoin (almost no-one understands them both)
Two fundamental types intelligence: 1) desire / will and 2) implementation
AGI capabilities: all implementation, “will” remains to be seen
As long as there are still multiple groups who own things, different perspectives, and multiple groups reach AGI/ASI around the same time, we’ll still need markets for coordination
Markets forming between agents (and humans) should create brand new economic theory untestable heretofore
Jordi outlines several novel forces for markets in a world with agents in Beyond the Sum: Unlocking AI Agents Potential Through Market Forces
1) perfect replication of actors, 2) dynamic instantiation (and deletion) of actors, 3) collective learning with perfect information, and 4) resource fluidity for agents
The role of Nostr and an emergent web of trust in filtering information in this new Internet
