Citrini says human intelligence has lost it's premium. Chaos awaits. "We are now experiencing the unwind of that premium. Machine intelligence is now a competent and rapidly improving substitute for human intelligence across a growing range of tasks. The financial system, optimized over decades for a world of scarce human minds, is repricing. That repricing is painful, disorderly, and far from complete."

In the long run enterprises using AIs won't want to rely on pay per usage AI models from the likes of Anthropic and ChatGPT. Instead they will migrate to open source models and in-house infra. Purely for the reason of cost savings.

now is the season for hustlers - high agency different terms

🇲🇩 About a year ago, while I was stuck in Paris, the French intelligence services reached out to me through an intermediary, asking me to help the Moldovan government censor certain Telegram channels ahead of the presidential elections in Moldova. After reviewing the channels flagged by French (and Moldovan) authorities, we identified a few that clearly violated our rules and removed them. The intermediary then informed me that, in exchange for this cooperation, French intelligence would “say good things” about me to the judge who had ordered my arrest in August last year. This was unacceptable on several levels. If the agency did in fact approach the judge — it constituted an attempt to interfere in the judicial process. If it did not, and merely claimed to have done so, then it was exploiting my legal situation in France to influence political developments in Eastern Europe — a pattern we have also observed in Romania 🇷🇴 Shortly thereafter, the Telegram team received a second list of so-called “problematic” Moldovan channels. Unlike the first, nearly all of these channels were legitimate and fully compliant with our rules. Their only commonality was that they voiced political positions disliked by the French and Moldovan governments. We refused to act on this request. Telegram is committed to freedom of speech and will not remove content for political reasons. I will continue to expose every attempt to pressure Telegram into censoring our platform. Stay tuned. 🤝

In the ideal governance system incentives are aligned for best long term results

In toxic governance systems incentives given as rewards for stakeholder competition

In inefficient governance systems incentives are aligned to protect the status quo

Decentralized systems with multiple goals require governance to arrive at a consensus

Decentralized systems with a single goal require governance to align stakeholders

Centralized systems with multiple goals require governance to prioritize goals

No stakeholder alignment is needed in a centralized system that has a singular goal
