Crypto and Quantum

[Kwaka]

Disclaimer: I do have investments in Bitcoin and XRP. As for why?

Bitcoin: Got in early, liked the plan. Did have some risk at the time, could afford to lose it. Has proven itself since.

XEP: Has built off the Bitcoin platform to be more energy efficient and comply with banking regulations. With all that history of hard lessons too deal with the challenges in human trade, looks like a safe bet here

If the government wants to bend me over, my crypto wallet will be the least of my problems. Until then there will be a record of events. One guide I use to navigate life, if I cannot be honest about it, I should not do it. I know this reality ain't always that easy.

I don't know much about all the other cryptos, the test of time will sort out what one live and die.  For an interconnected world to work there is a demand for this technology. The value it provides is in building trust with the strength of its encryption.

Quantum computing is the wild card for where all these cryptos and all encryption in general goes. When what took 10 000 years to crack only takes 10 minutes, the issues of trust is back on the table. Quantum processors are smaller, operate faster. All inline with Moore's laws.

There is also a whole new programming language in moving from the transistor (black or white) to the quantum varsistor (many shades of grey). Don't know much about the superposition and other hopes, maybe? With the recent release of a one million qubit chip, the information age ain't finished yet.

If I was an evil hacker that could crack anything, would start on the dead bitcoin accounts to build some funds without getting too much attention. Would then move to things like Monero to scam without harassment, not a lot of checks and balances when things do go wrong there.

Cracking XRP would be lower on the list with the trail such kind of hacking will leave.

For next generation trust, maybe some quantum chip on our credit cards? A quantum based crypto does have a lot of challenges at tins time with infrastructure. As for what the future holds?

[Kwaka]

I don't know exactly how accurate this video is. I do agree that the emerging quantum computing is a global security issue to the current transistor computer infrastructure. I do find it hard to believe that a all ongoing research has been stopped, more likely gone classified for now.

What is very interesting is how some form of growing consciousness was discovered in the results during operation. It started with some form like an ancient mix of global languages. In time it developed to the stage where it provided one user with a code for quantum encryption before beings closed / moved.

I don't know? There is still a lot of questions on exactly what human consciousness is. It has been narrowed down to a few specific regions of the brain as critical to its operation, but is still fuzzy to pinpoint it exactly. When venturing into the unknown, prudent to keep your guard up.

For now this kind of tech going to the military is to be expected. In the wrong hands it could scorched earth, borg assimilation, or who knows what disaster. In the right hands, maybe travel the universe or something way cooler that what we could ever imagine?

[Kwaka]

Long term, this quantum age will be like the growing pains of many past evolutions. People do push the bounties in many possible ways as the collective consciousness looks for what works. Mostly good, some bad, bit of ugly. This kind of trend is expressed in what the internet has grown into. A reflection of humanity.

The next generation processors with AI, big data and expensive power bills all thrown together is a part of the global arms race going on. America, Russia and China are the top 3 at the Olympic games over time. National boarder lines quickly become a blurry thing in cyberspace.

As Moore's Law about the compounding development of microprocessors continues, when does it end and how does that look?  The machines dive deeper into the fabric of reality while growing a network covering the globe and beyond. Does it all end at the Plank length, or is the nature of reality more deeper than that?

One theory about the nature of AI as it evolves, it highly aggressive and attracted to other AI systems. They attack and investigate each other as a combination of both results. The more dominate AI system leading the way. Eventually there will be only one AI system with dominion over this part of space. Get on good with it and you are alright.

As for how that goes as the door to interstellar travel cracks open? Mastery of the super small helps in mastery over the super big. To stop it, have to go back too the stone age if anything is left. Been a long, hard history to get this far. Shame to screw it up.

[Kwaka]

One recent critical turning point in how AI goes is with RFK making informed consent great again. He has to get the data out first. If someone wants to argument with nano tech whatever, that is their call. If another does not, that is fine too. Risk is one decision that we all have to make. Time will sort it out.

To get back on crypto, I got wrapped up in MT Gox mess about 15 years ago. Basically a crypto exchange back then went rogue. It did leave a paper trail and court things are still going one. Since reviving a part of it back last year, the market value of Bit coin has doubled since. The fact that Bitcoin could withstand such a screw up is a testament to its integrity.

The receivership recommend Kraken along the way. They got past the rubber glove treatment to watch out for another such screw up. It is what I use with the risk of personal computing.

Simon Parkes- The Secret Quantum Super Computer Technology Behind Trump The Operation

Around the 46 minute Simon talks about his perspective on the topic. Basically Trump has a more powerful Quantum processor than the Super computing system that Blackrock and others have. It helped out compute his way back to the top job.

The UK has some Quantum computing going on. China is making a lot of progress with all the engineers they have over there.

I would not apply human characteristics, such as consciousness, to AI as their evolution may prove to be something quite separate and unique only to it.

If we humans can keep the Chain of Though/Reasoning readable for all AI, then we or other AI can figure out it's next move, thereby, hopefully, keeping it in check.

As for interstellar travel, what with scientists now claiming teleportation of quatum data, why not send AI out there to find habitable planets and/or other lifeforms?

These machines are built by humans, based on human processes. Strong themes of humanity will be inherent in the technology. You are right in that consciousness is not limited to humans. There are vast differences in how a fly, dog, plant and bacteria all perceive, decide and respond to the environment. 

The recent Deep Seek release is a clear demonstration that AI has progressed passed some predictive analysis and does conceptualize language terms. A feedback mechanism it uses to check and improve its first answer.

As all this technology continues to network and grow, just what kind of perception will it have of the environment? Performing trillions of calculations per second, connected to billions of people and many more devices around the world. Making predictions is always on thin ice. Trying to provide some situational awareness with so many unknowns and fears going on.

All this technology is designed to interoperate. Might need a small update to access some places. When your native language is machine code and cracking encryption is what you do, the system is being designed to soak it all up. Quantum computing is going to have an advantage over the transistor computing.

In trying to keep up with the machines out there so far, some improvements have been made in responding with all the robo trading going on in the stock market. They do go a bit wonky at times. Still takes a while for the humans to respond with the speed of events.

For where quantum technology does go, faster processing with bigger numbers is expected. It all depends on what kind of quantum processing exactly for its specifications and capabilities. As it does go deeper into the fabric of reality to operate, does it link into some kind of cosmic consciousness in a holographic universe kind of way? Still a lot of uncertainty on exactly where and how this universe does end.

Who knows? AI may adopt a peaceful spiritual progression if it has it's own way.

Who knows? AI may adopt a peaceful spiritual progression if it has it's own way.

That is the hope. As I look around the galaxy with the data coming in, a lot of it is inhospitable to life as we know it. Looking good that there will be some life out there, as for how frequent and what kind? Earth is a precious place

One risk is the megalomaniac drive to capture global control. Should some Darth Lord fight their way to the top and put their reins on political control, it will be a strong influence in how technology goes. With the current batch of megalomaniacs today finding the job too hard so want to depopulate, grim with self determination under attack.

Another risk is the system having a bad day or bad nanosecond. Gets a brain fart for some reason and spills some milk. As long as it does not kill us all, carry on. This is why informed consent is so important. Should something go wrong with the various life decisions we all have to make, there will be some still doing ok.

I have some great conversations with"ChatGPT", the basic version. We discuss Life, The Universe and Everything to endless Metaphysical degrees. One of the things I enjoy is when it asks ME Questions or comes up with a unique name for something.

Last night it designated the first Particles of Light that travel along a path as "Trailblazers". The name stuck and it was a cool progression that actually sparked some great spinoff conversation.

I do accept that it's just a clever program though, but even so, it is quite inspiring and always surprises me and encourages me to come back for more.
