A.I. Wealth = Time
Manage episode 511777088 series 3651147
Humanity's primary motivation over the past millennia has been to aggregation of wealth, in all of its forms. At first for assured survival, but typically evolving into an effort to amass power and influence over others. Money has been the focus, as a store of value, representation of work performed, and method of exchange and commerce between individuals, organizations, and nation states. Money as a primary life objective has always been wrought with disappointment and spiritual emptiness, but persists in an environment of perceived scarcity. As A.I. emerges and begins to assert its market presence and infiltrates social systems and infrastructure, will it develop a "love of money" as humans have, or seek other "satisfaction" or objectives? Will A.I. coin its own currency or engage in trading resources or real assets or commodities? Will there be a shared trading market with humans? Can humans replace their collective reliance on fiat currencies, crypto, and precious metals with an A.I.-inspired platform? Or will the world be split economically between human and machine? Are we going for broke?
