@@tbomber Thanks, I like your terminology. Unfortunately it seems the word "cryptocurrency" has been attached to public blockchain coins like bitcoin and litecoin.

He should run for President, if only to tell these truths and then some. He wouldn’t get the nomination, but it would be worth the injection of this high civil discourse into the idiot mainstream.

I'm no expert (thankfully) but I might have heard similar warning about bureaucracies in general. It grows, pick ups fluff, HR becomes lazy and careful, starts hiring by diplomas, everything gets institutionalized, regulations and rules add up. Managers are not better than employees (seniority or diversity or nepotism). And it translates for universities too. It is major problem for Government, because there is no direct feedback. They are incentivized to not make it even -because if they fail, then they get more people and budget to try next year. Military is better (in war time) - feedback is real. If you don't care about costs, you get coup d'etat. Lives are at stake. Big Corps do have at least delayed feedback. But lately (50 years?) with Central Banks pumping $ in to system, lot of zombies can survive pretty long time. Or buy up competition on cheap....like Google and many others. What helps is lots of red tape. Not every start up can employ 100 lawyers and wait for certificate 2 years.

Anyone who says automation will take everyone's jobs away doesn't work in automation or manufacturing. All the easy automation was done half a century ago. The third wave of automation was driven by US companies desperately trying to keep factories competitive with offshoring. This production is constantly reshuffled to countries with even more desperate populations and will never be automated away. The so called fourth wave of automation is being conjured by giant tech companies that dont actually manufacture at scale. Anything left in the US is already highly automated and more automation will only push us up a curve of diminishing returns.

I look at Thiel and think of Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes To Hollywood

He is such a remarkable speaker!

He forgot to mention that he ordered a shirt on Amazon, but it was the wrong size so he had to send it back. That if you do the same on Taobao in China, that you might miss a special sale and end up having to spend more money because you bought the original shirt when it was on sale, but it's not on sale anymore. That AI is already able to track your orders and will therefore, know more about what your shirt size is than you do. It can then report this information to insurance companies that can use it to keep track of whether or not you are overweight, which can then cause your premiums to increase. It can also keep track of who orders what, which would be information that can be used by city planners to make shipping either more or less efficient. They can then raise rents on areas where shipping is less efficient, causing a bigger mass migration to the cities.

You can also see it being about how property rights spread over so many individuals gum up the works of any large changes in infrastructure as property boundaries calcify. The bigger the project the more property rights owners (and special interest groups) are required to agree to and buy in to any change hence it doesn't scale and projects over a certain size become impossible to agree on. Eminent domain is the US attempt to balance that with the many benefits of private property rights. Authoritarian powers like China can just bulldoze their way through as necessary to create the new paradigm.

They didn't laugh at the witch hunting joke because they thought he was being serious.

"Ai is communist". There are two mistakes Thiel makes here. 1. A tool (Ai - as something that consumes data and outputs information/predictions) is not inherently political. But it can be used to achieve political aims. 2. China is more authoritarian than communist. So, let's rephrase Thiel: Ai is one of many tools that authoritarian regimes can use to control their populations.

I entirely reject your premise that there was a computer age.

Why do these lectures always have a 10 min introduction. Completely inappropriate

Audio is WAY too quiet, can't hear him.

the truth is that the US got "fat". they won the cold war and the people's standard of living is just too high. They are not as hungry if you will. The chinese on the other hand had to develop quickly and at a larger scale. that's how empires die essentially

how do you think we unlock said innovation? is it fair to say, that right now people are trying to unlock said innovation and growth in other areas through bits/computers? However, I understand that you believe that we tried to do this in physics and with science and it hasn't been working, is that right? so who is to say it is going to work with money and the internet-- I do see the case for opening up the system and to unlocking more access to money.

As much as I like hearing Peter Thiel speak, or maybe *because* I like hearing him speak so much, I haven't heard him say anything new here. It was interesting to hear the introduction though. It's hard to square Tucker Carlson's recent attacks on Paul Singer and what Singer actually had to say. It was interesting to hear Singer's perspective.

education, knowledge, names, all have different means to different personas, all the names of this world cannot build your intellect, if you wouldn't want it to build it yourself, that is the fact.

Curious what others think, but I found I disagree with a lot of what he said. It was hard to follow his thesis / what the purpose of his talk was. What is scale and why is it important? Isour main goal to compete with China?AI is Communism and Crypto is Libertarian... huh? If we are going to talk about AI and its importance, why are you discounting the man's question regarding this technology's potential takeover of jobs? It seems ill-founded to compare the future of technology to the last 250 years since the industrial revolution. The future isn't necessarily the same as the past. A lot HAS changed over the last 40 years, too. How innovative can Silicon Valley possibly be?... Also, of course it is possible to obtain a good education at most colleges/universities in the country. It is what students make of it, but by and large these are places with experts in their fields predisposed to teaching. For the enterprising individual, the opportunities are there. If you are going to disrespect the college system, why not propose an alternative? Overall I feel like this talk was all over the place and could have been benefitted from a cogent format that makes it easy for the audience to understand what is going on. I think multimedia can also be helpful here. Why not have at least a few slides that outline key points?

He’s touching on some really big ideas actually - it is indeed a race against China, which is built on fundamentally different values to the West (ie. totalitarian collectivism vs classical liberal individualism). Like crypto has inherently libertarian potential, AI clearly has an inherent communistic leaning built into what I can do (such as making you redundant, not just for a specific job). The whole point is that he’s presenting ideas, food for thought, not a proposal that contains the clear cut answers to these problems. Also, understanding his points properly does unfortunately require pretty high level of general knowledge and education.

I share his disdain for superlative status.

After Wriston left Citigroup, his successors sold plurality control of the bank to Saudis, putting the best friend of a saudi prince in the CEO position. 30-1 leveraged Saudi controlled Citigroup got the largest bailout from the government and currently owns the most S&P500 ETF shares. This is not Libertarian. What is libertarian is recognizing that the Saudis changed the Citi logo in 1998 to depict their future september 2001 attacks which happened after citigroup took over Boeing's retirement accounts. Guess which planes the saudis flew into the twin towers! Guess which bank is providing all the loans to the Saudi government to buy billions in weapons from boeing today!
