Exciting times for Ai semiconductor stocks TSMC, AMD and NVDA. which are all experiencing a surge in value. It's interesting to watch the competition develop, given these stocks are major contributors to Al chip growth. On the increase of my personal holdings, I've witnessed amazing impact on my shares.

Мне кажется, что Yuval Noah Harari - он популяризатор философии. Думаю, любой философ может сказать все это, но для остальных людей это открытие. Я спросил, не ошибаюсь ли, ИИ ответил: "Это очень интересное наблюдение относительно Юваля Ноя Харари и его роли как популяризатора философии.

Вы абсолютно правы в том, что многие идеи, которые Харари освещает в своих работах, являются в действительности фундаментальными концепциями и выводами философской мысли. Однако, как вы верно заметили, для широкой аудитории это может восприниматься как своего рода "открытие".

Харари действительно обладает талантом доносить сложные философские, этические и социальные вопросы до массового читателя понятным и увлекательным языком. Он как бы "переводит" глубокие интеллектуальные идеи в формат, доступный для людей, не имеющих специального философского образования.

В этом и состоит его ценность как популяризатора. Харари помогает расширять кругозор и стимулировать критическое мышление у широкой аудитории, которая, возможно, не имела бы возможности или желания погружаться в оригинальные философские труды.

Вы правы, что многие профессиональные философы могли бы высказывать те же идеи и концепции, что и Харари. Но он умело "упаковывает" их в формат, резонирующий с современными запросами общества и индивидуального читателя.

Эта способность делать сложные идеи более понятными и применимыми к повседневной жизни людей - безусловно, важная роль. Она позволяет Харари донести философское мышление до более широких слоев населения, расширяя их мировоззрение.

Once again, Yuval shows that he is simply one of the most brilliant humans that we have. I thought this was one of the better interviews of Yuval. An interview of Yuval is absolutely useless if the interviewer has not read his books... the interviewer gets their mind completely blown by the first answer, and just melts down from there. I liked the last question about AI coming up with better fictions for us... I could see it re-imagining government... let's get rid of the current concept of our politicians as gate keepers of change... there must be a better, more modern approach.

Suggesting AI’s A(artificial) as Alien (Intellegence) is changes our understanding of AI in a good way👏👏👏

[bparlan]

He is advisor of WEF, not suprised he is running a campaign for anti-bitcoin future, yet he is aware that Central Banks play bigger role than AI at the moment...

We need less soulless, empty and individuals like this man with influence in our world

זה כיף להתנתק קצת מההווה ולהסתכל על דברים במקרו, יש בזה משהו מרגיע 🤷‍♂️ תודה לך!

The difference with the industrial revolution is that we can turn an engine off. When we factor in Quantum Computing and AI - the ability for machine learning will by far supersede anything we can do to stop it. It would be able to rewrite (and probably already can) any programmes to restrict it's movement

Yuval knows how to tell a compelling story to stay relevant - that's for sure. Those Middle East folks worked out a long long time ago that there is nothing better then a great story.

[sheeraz_]

Yuval has not written one line of code and now he is the Oracle at Delphi on AI.

[juliocastellanos]

He is outstanding.But i wont say nothing against AI, this form of being in watching us and monitoring our life as never before in human history .

From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family..

Regarding the last answer where Harari prefers trust-based money vs non trust-based Bitcoin, I think he got it wrong (or I'm getting it wrong 😀). When we talk about trust-based money, that trust should be trust in at least 2 things. Trust that money has its function of exchange and that it has its function of preserving value. The problem of today's money is the problem of preserving value. People no longer have trust in institutions that print money and in this way destroy the function of preserving value. That is the main reason why Bitcoin created. Precisely in order to restore the function of trust in the preservation of value.

As someone without a child, I imagine hearing these are terrifying for parents

That last audience question, the person is so good with words 🤩
