The true value of the bitcoin network is that it is extremely immutable. Freezing UTXOs supersedes previous consensus in a round about way. At a high level it is the same thing ethereum did when they rolled back the chain. If large institutions want this, it’s because they want to destroy bitcoin’s reputation. The quantum risk is their trojan horse. BE AWARE

AI and conciseness If we think about the architecture of a chat bot; first there is an interface to take prompts from the human. It is passed to a priming layer that serializes the bytes (human to computer translation), and then it is passed to the large language model that calculates the best response to the provided prompts using raw calculation electronically. It is then deserialized back to human and displayed to the human using the computer. Similarly a “voice” in our head prompts our brain, also using raw electrical signaling, to begin every train of thought. Every idea comes from outside. Physical sensations originate from the body, while pure thought comes from somewhere else. So in that way our brain itself is not consciousness, the “voice” in our head is consciousness. Some may argue that the voice comes from the brain. I see the brain as more of a receiver of signals from external consciousness, not unlike a human at a keyboard or talking into their phone.

Listening now, great show
