Jordi (@fewsats) is 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!
Listen on Fountain, Youtube, or Substack.
- 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
- Gigi’s articles on how a better currency/payment system can lead to better business models: Attention is a Terrible Currency and Value for Value
- Comparing the early Lightning Network to the early Internet
- Building fewsats.com: payment infrastructure for AI agents. Jordi’s new demo: sherlockdomains.com - a domain registrar made for AI agents
- Is python now the lingua franca? How do we get more bitcoin and nostr libraries in python?
- The future of Nostr as the open identity/communication standard for humans and agents
- AI / agent predictions for 2025
The intersection between people that understand money/markets and AI is almost empty.
People will get a lot of signal from this pod.
