@CupOJoseph Building secure software is becoming easier, not harder. The main problem with AI is that it's destroying insecure software built before modern tools were available.
Endgame is AI assisted proving of invariants.
Today it's age/id verification for social networks.
Next year it'll be scanning of phone contents.
After that we're getting VPN bans.
Then comes requirements to only let operating systems run authorized software.
We have to fight them every step of the way.
The EU makes it a point to lose on tech, by being a leader on regulation. GDPR + ePrivacy + AI Act + Data Act + DSA + DMA + CRA + NIS2 + MDR/IVDR + national implementation differences. You need a founding compliance officer at this point.
You don't realize how scary not having any economic growth is until you realize everyone around you is get richer
Europe's GDP per capita in 2030 is $50,590/year even less than it is now
US GDP per capita meanwhile will have grown to $108,660/year
More than twice as rich!
@hash_dd@litocoen@Wise What's the reason that off-ramping to local currency should be expensive?
Assuming you have a USDC-like stablecoin for most popular currencies.
@litocoen Agreed, been thinking about this too. I suppose liquidity wouldn't even be that hard of a problem, as long as there's enough price insensitive flows moving through the cards.

@mattparlmer Increasing scope of political rentier games as the real economy grows more productive is lindy. Probably as old as civilization. The broad shoulders of industry will just have to bear the load.
@DCinvestor If the concern of industrialists becomes shaping the light cone, then Earth will be most valuable as a hyper-authentic LARP. Italian seaside towns, budhist monastaries, Victorian London, Carthage rebuilt. Earth becomes a themepark. VR is consequence free so cannot compete.
@DoveyWan You overstate the influence teachers have on kids. They can barely even teach them the topics, let alone indoctrinate.
Much worse is the coddling of children. Boys need to test their physical mettle and experience pain.
