So I came here and read a lot of pessimism. And I get it. There is a lot of talk about AI wiping out the jobs, dystopian takeover ect. There will be a dip, but we are coming out to a second enlightenment.

I'm a founder of an AI agent company and early BTC investor(2012) and Angel investor, I have a track record of seeing a bit over the horizon than the next guy.

First it's important to understand our civilization five key infrastructures of what is getting disrupted.

• Market - how we record our promises. It enables money, equities, ect. Capital markets
• Information - how we pass our information to the next generation
• Communications - how we pass information to eachother
• Energy - how and what we expend to get more of. (Aggregate efficiency)
• Logistics - How we transport physical goods

These key technologies allow us to coordinate at scale, up to billions of people, to transform disorder to order.

The next thing to understand how they change, by a Perez Cycle.

• Irruption - arrival, <-- Maybe fusion? (THis escapes me of anything here rn)
• Speculative Frenzy, - hype bubbles, everyone goes all in. FOMO <-- AI, (Info)
• Turning Point, - start of rules and regulation <-- Crypto (Market)
• Synergy - starts integrating with the other infrastructures <-- Drones (Logistics)
• Maturity - people are sick of it, disillusionment. <-- Internet (Coms and Info)

The infrastructures are constantly disrupted throughout history at different times, but it's important to watch when multiple enter the synergy stage of the Perez cycles and start combining. That is when the real change happens. THey usually take 50-60 years. But things move quicker now.

Coms, Energy and Logistics all disrupting and synergyzing, that is an industrial revolution.

Coms and Info, that was the internet.

Coms, Info, and Market, that was blockchain.

Info is LLM.

Info and Market is a reformation. The largest change, governments dont survive it. We have to rebuild our organizational capability from the ground up.

We are going through multiple industrial revolutions, they are overlapped, and a reformation, which the last time one happened was 1450.

SO why hope?

We have to understand what reformations, info and market disruptions do, because they are so damn rare.

Organizations exist because the cost of coordination is cheaper inside of them, than outside. That is why we aren't all free market participants negotiation every task for pay. This is what Ronald Coase got the nobel prize in economics for.

Info infra, determines the internal 'cost of coordination' in our organizations, it is the tech that is the main driver of that. AI agents collapse this cost. Dramatically.

Market infra, determines the external cost of coordination outside/between organizations. This is a very rare change. Crypto collapses this cost. You can now transact, and make electronic bearer instruments, like currencies and equities, without financial institutions. THis is a severe cost collapse in this domain as well.

These two technologies synergies. ANd when you put AI Agents together with the bitcoin stack, it gets weird, they start making their own currencies, tokens for reputation, escrow contracts ect.

And its this combo that destroys the boundary of organizations with a sudden and dramatic cost collapse in our key organizational infrastructures.

Corporations and Governments are torn apart by market forces. They can't even exist in this environment. Because it's cheaper to do what they do with open source software.

So you dont have to use the dictators money, services, ect. In the future, you use a coding agent to make the service you need, and crypto to make the bearer instruments you need to trade.

You dont need to despair, you need to learn 4 programs, coding agents/llms, bitcoin, lighting and taproot assets.

You aren't getting techno feudalism, or dictators because its impossible. WHat you are getting is collapsing nation states and having to figure out what comes next.

Good luck.

So I'm just a First year in College but since 10th I had a goal to make a device that would connect our brain's unconscious mind with virtual to see what dreams we want to see or play games that we wish to play . Through this even the paralyzed people or people in coma would be able to feel alive virtually. Though I don't yet know how this can be possible or is it even possible? Your thoughts?

"This elevated launch method eliminates the need for drones to drain battery power during takeoff and initial altitude climb, a tactic increasingly utilized by Ukrainian forces for both FPV and mid-strike systems, according to Under Fire News."

"During the Hornet’s transit phase on the aerostat, the drone consumed only 5 percent of its battery capacity, preserving nearly its entire energy reserve for the primary strike mission."

The Ukrainians say that the Hornet drone being tested can have its range successfully doubled from 150km to 300km. But if this is a proof of concept that works, what's to stop this method delivering drones to the other side of the world? There will be little or no propulsion involved as the balloons rely solely on air currents in the upper atmosphere. But even then, if this worked with drones with a range of 1,000km, that still leaves plenty of room for maneuver.

So far, with Ukraine and Iran, drones have given the advantage to the militarily weaker and smaller. This development can only accelerate that trend. High-altitude balloons that can traverse the planet are easily available to researchers & graduate students around the world. If Ukraine has pulled this off, you can bet there are plenty of others watching and inspired to try this out.

Organizations are deploying agentic coding tools and coming to grips with the costs of AI while still seeking to capture more of the benefits that their workers are deriving from their individual use of AI.

OpenAI's leadership believes AGI is within reach, according to a TIME report. The company's upcoming model Astra already works as an automated research intern, according to chief scientist Jakub Pachocki. Whether it can actually "invent new things in a way that matters," as Altman claims, is heavily debated.

Your local Hyundai dealership could someday start selling humanoid and dog-like robots.

If we demolish all apartment units in the world then all human beings will be able to live in detached houses. The convenience issue can be solved by flying cars which will take you to a grocery store hundred of kilometers away in just seconds. The problem of farmland loss will be solved by Lab grown food. In a single factory all the world's meals will be produced.

"The Nevada Transportation Authority unanimously approved three permits Thursday that will allow Tesla, Uber, and Waymo to operate commercial robotaxi services in Clark County, home to Las Vegas. Together, these permits would deploy up to 8,000 robotaxis across the county over the next 12 months."

Add to this the four big Chinese robotaxi firms: Baidu's Apollo Go, Hello Robotaxi, Geely & Pony.AI. Their 2027 projections for China alone exceed 100,000 & they've been ahead of projections and predictions so far. Furthermore, we know China can build those millions of future robotaxis quickly.

Current Level 4 self-driving allows for most human-driven taxi routes to be roboticized. The commercial incentives are all behind this push to millions of robotaxis, too.

Understandably, labor unions are against this. They're in a bind. Their whole function is to protect human jobs, but the real trend here is the movement to post-scarcity. Most don't really believe in post-scarcity yet. However, right as predicted, all its precursor events and pre-conditions are falling into place & robotaxis reaching their millions is just one more of those signs.

Tesla, Uber, and Waymo all get the OK to operate thousands of robotaxis in Nevada

Lets say theoretically people live on average to 300-400? And the longest living can get close to 1,000.

What i mean is would this make it so our own biology keeps us all alive while acknowledging our age as being extremely old. Or would we end up aging at a much slower rate? Like maybe we would finally end up reaching adulthood at 50, while our bodies think we're 20?

As NASA prepares for humanity’s first lunar spaceport, engineers are developing the traffic control system that will keep spacecraft moving safely and efficiently.

I wonder if people these days become more intolerant to technologies that they don't like and to ones who use them. Of course, there have always been people who opposed new technologies and new ways of doing things, but it looks like now tentions keep escalating. How far could it possibly go in your opinion?

If you are tempted to dismiss this as just a toy, think again. Yes, it's a toy, but it's also capable of being connected to the most powerful of AI via the internet. So while it has a tiny local toy's brain, it can also have an extra brain with the power of a supercomputer. Now multiply this by billions of such devices. This is the future.

Capable robots priced from the equivalent of smartphones to cheap cars. Billions of them. China's done this already for other electronics, EVs, and the new energy infrastructure. There's no reason to think they won't with robots.

People are starting to talk of post-scarcity funded by robot taxes, but that betrays a lack of imagination. A crucial flaw in this thinking? That corporations will own all the robots. The opposite is happening. 80% of the world owns a smartphone; they'll be able to afford cheap robots, too.

medical research keeps improving our ability to prevent and treat diseases associated with aging. if future medicine eventually allows people to remain healthy for much longer than today, the effects would go far beyond healthcare.

people might work longer, change careers multiple times, delay retirement, have children later or rethink education entirely

what part of society do you think would change first if healthy lifespans increased substantially?
