— The Intercept
What makes us think they’re not already doing it? Mass media has been a mess for ages, and throwing AI into the mix would just make the chaos more explosive. But like with everything, no matter how much they try to rig it, there will always be players building tech to expose them.
NVDA has been crushing it this year in the stock market, and there’s no stopping this colossal tech giant. AI is the steroids that today’s tech needed, and the years ahead are going to be one wild ride.
An AI Chatbot with access to the internet has made $500K on a Solana memecoin.
This was the same chatbot that was given $50,000 in Bitcoin by
@pmarca,3 months ago and claimed it wanted to work on a “token project”.

Well, tbh I wouldn’t mind having access to a bot like that either. I was thinking while reading this tweet: if plebs like us (sort of) can use this tech, imagine what BlackRock is leveraging. BlackRock has been using AI (Aladdin) for a long time to manage their AUM.
No wonder they’re the wealthiest investment fund in the world. AI’s a double-edged sword. I was skeptical a couple of years ago, but now I’m starting to leverage it more in real life. I tested it on my YouTube channel, and I can see how much it boosts productivity.
Not everyone will benefit from this tech fully because you need to be pretty smart yourself. You have to know what to ask it to do. At some point, the AI-generated content that most people are into right now won’t be as appreciated, but that doesn’t mean AI will become useless.
I’m 100% sure that within the next decade or so, many jobs humans currently do will be handled by AI. The Chinese have developed machines that can pave roads by themselves. Sure, there’s some human oversight, but the dirty work is no longer done by humans. That says a lot about how far we’ve come.
AI will definitely create a few trillionaires, but it will also push some of the workforce into the dust, leaving them begging for UBI. In my view, UBI only makes sense in a world where AI kills jobs, and governments are fine with printing digital currencies out of thin air.
That, in turn, will probably lead to more control given to the elites because UBI won’t be in paper money, but rather programmable money. I won’t dive into programmable money again, but I see where this is heading.
So, let me ask you: if you had access to a switch that could kill all AI forever, would you flip it?
Thanks for your attention,
