In the midst of the AI hype cycle, it is time to recognize that energy remains the currency of the universe and therefore Bitcoin is still the most important thing in the world, according to an opinion editorial by Aleksandar Svetski. Although AI can be a valuable tool for a range of tasks, it still requires energy to operate and ultimately serves as an amplifier or engine. Bitcoin, on the other hand, benefits from all advancements in technology, making it the foundation of all innovation. Svetski urges readers to push back against doomer narratives that seek to create an “approved AI” that can be controlled by the state. Instead, he proposes creating more human-enhancing language tools that can be evaluated by individuals on the merits they deem important.
