In our very first episode two years ago, which was entitled, Cryptocurrency,, The Seventh Layer, we suggested that cryptocurrency might very well be a seventh, major technological event going back over the past 40 to 45 years, starting with centralized computing 
architectures. 

In that first podcast, we hinted that an eighth layer was in hiding, unknown at that time to most of us. We are now convinced that this 8th layer is now quite clearly in our midst, arriving with a bang in the past 6 months.

Both economic and technological segments of our society are under cyclonic pressures, due to the rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI) components.

Episode 10 The World of Artificial Intelligence - What Are Large Language Models?

Reality Testing: A.I. in The Prediction and Management of Schizophrenia by Cullen Truett

In the following, I offer four ways in which physicians should address the rise of A.I. and ensure its appropriate and just application for patients.

4 Ways Physicians Can Advocate for Responsible Use of Machine Learning by Cullen Truett

A smart contract’s rigid rule system represents a double-edged sword. ‘The Code is Law’, but what happens when rogue large language models or AI agents bend the Law? Can smart contracts be weaponised to serve a criminal agenda? In his ‘Oracle’ novel, Ari Jules explores this thesis and issues an eery warning regarding the blockchain x AI intersection. In this imminent future, oracles play a crucial role, allowing LLMs to push data on-chain or smart contracts to pull off-chain data.

Topics discussed in this episode:
- Criminal Smart Contracts
- Oracle x LLM convergence
- Preventing malicious intents through oracle systems
- AI x crypto use cases
- DAOs
- Entropy in voting behaviours
- Dark DAOs
- TEEs & private smart contracts
- MEV & proofs of transaction ordering
- Future blockchain research

#574 Ari Juels: Chainlink – Can AI Weaponize Blockchain Smart Contracts?

Old School Meets New School!

Somewhat recently, the Oracle of Omaha Warren Buffett was forced to finally admit that he was not well-connected to the tech boom to fully profit from that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He just didn't get it.

Many of the discussions relative to current day economics, business, history, cryptocurrency are quite often constrained by the perspectives of the participants.

Younger participants are more attuned to the world into which they have grown and are now currently immersed, giving them a valuable basis to relate to those in the generations of those coming behind us.

However, without the benefit of living history, and, the historical perspectives that might be missed by that younger generation, this forward view alone clearly misses the boat.

Quite often the wisdom of eyes on events long gone must be weaved in to either emphasize, balance, or, at times, dismiss that view entirely.

And, vice versa.

This father and son pair are using their own personal understandings, successes, failures, and, understandings, both mutual and distinctively different, to impart their spin on the news and events of the day.

Many elements flowing through our media streams each and every day are leaving a few loose ends that require a bit of further understanding and crucial context.

Join us as we explore many of the topics of the day from both ends of our generational spectrums.
