While I don’t think AI, specifically the generative kind, is a one-to-one with crypto, it has one important similarity: It only succeeds if they can figure out a way to force the entire world to use it. I think there’s a word for that!
Now you know why Microsoft is pushing Copilot down your throat. A very interesting read.
It is not a revolution in computing, but a revolution in accepting lower standards. The only way to consider most of our gadgets “smart” is by dumbing ourselves down.
I agree that crypto needs to have enough reach to succeed. I cannot see any reasoning why AI needs that.
Reading the article I only see him postulating that but not arguing why he comes to that conclusion. Why is AI only profitable if 100 % of the people use it and cannot be if e.g. 30 % use it?
