The infamous Yuval Noah Harari and his "blockchain" debacle
It's like he took every 'trendy' idea from the past century, threw them into a blender, hit puree, and voilà! We have a recipe for... well, I'm not quite sure what we have. Magical AI that's both benevolent and malevolent at the same time? Give me a break.
And let's talk about his so-called "autonomy" claim. Newsflash: AI is only as autonomous as its creators give it permission to be. The more complex the task, the more you need to babysit your robot friend. It's not like ChatGBT-4 suddenly decided to write Shakespeare on its own – someone just gave it a prompt and hoped for the best.
And don't even get me started on his blockchain 'expertise'. I mean, who is this "some people" he keeps mentioning? The Blockchain Illuminati? Harari's just peddling his own brand of techno-fantasy, and you're not buying it (pun intended).
The Sybil attack? Yeah, that's a real problem. But it's not like we haven't seen this before in human history – how about the Roman Empire or some other totalitarian regime? It's not exactly rocket science.
At the end of the day, Harari's Nexus is just a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and ideology. Or, you know, maybe he's just having a laugh at our expense. Hard to say with this guy.
