1/8 @NBerggruen started asking profound questions about AI, society and being human years ago when few people saw what was coming.

The screenshots illustrating this thread, with snippets of his thinking, are from his interview, The Digital Human (2020) 🧵

The path to “planetary sapience” for the philosophically-minded is through @bratton's Antikythera project, sponsored by @NBerggruen;
for the multitudes, it is through ChatGPT, CoPilot & their brethren; not by a SYNTHESIS, but a SYMBIOSIS of human & artificial intelligence.

Can Distributed Ledger help transcend both the socialist pricing problem (central planning is too slow 2 sense & respond to price signals) & the capitalist one (market failures & disregard of externalities)? Isn't this question relevant to accounting for planetary survival?🧵 2/4

Who do you know who is addressing the "pricing problem" questions? (see prev. tweet)

What do YOU think about them?

1. PROTOPIA is evolving the next stage of you,
of your developmental friendships,
of your community or organization,
of whole social sectors (e.g. health, education, etc.),
and of a planetary future worth living for. 2. The 5-month Protopia Learning Expedition is taking off on April 1st (not an "April Fools" joke 🙂 ). A few places left available. Expression of Interest should be sent to anna@campus-coevolve.org by not later than 30-March-2021.

1. Some of you know about my futurehow.site/index.php/2020… research. Here's an update. B4 personal and collective k.ecosystems can be linked, one has to organize his/her scattered thoughts into well-linked webs of meaning, which is quite challenging to trans-disciplinarians like me. 2. There's also a daily tsunami of podcasts, articles, forums, emails, YouTube vids, tweets, etc. highly relevant to my Work. It frustrates me that I can't keep up with or, at least, collect them somewhere, where I will find them when I'll have more time, that never happens.
