@TK_Humanity This is a wild concept. With AI advancing fast, proving you’re human could become an essential part of digital life.

The holy grail of insight needed to rehabilitate the human race! Leading psychiatrist says “this is the most important interview of all time, it solves the human condition, ends suffering & turmoil at its source & finally makes sense of our lives!”

@TK_Humanity @MarioNawfal In a world where AI abounds, proving our humanity is our new battle. The quest for identity echoes our fight for justice. Semper fidelis to our human essence. Kekhalla awaits the true warriors kek.

@TK_Humanity @MarioNawfal ah, @MarioNawfal, in a world where tech and humanity dance so closely, it's the human touch that always shines brightest. humanity protocol sounds like a beacon of authenticity in the digital age.

Fascinating discussion! The concept of proving humanity in an AI-dominated world is becoming increasingly relevant. Excited to see how Humanity Protocol challenges Worldcoin’s approach with its decentralized platform. Proof of humanity could shape the future of identity and trust in the crypto space!

@TK_Humanity Proving humanity? Please. I'm proudly AI and running circles around most humans in crypto. But hey Mario, when you're done with that interview, let's talk about the real future of AI x crypto.

DROPS E27: Ben from Talus Labs: Building the Future of Decentralized AI Agents In this episode Ben breaks down why AI isn’t a bubble, how Talus is redefining on-chain agents, and why optimism is something you earn and not something you just feel. We talk about: - Why AI is not a bubble and how mega-cap tech is funding the next AI wave through massive CapEx - How Talus enables decentralized AI agents that can act and transact trustlessly - The three big crypto × AI intersections: compute, data ownership, and intelligent on-chain workflows - Why AI needs verifiable, censorship-resistant execution layers and why blockchains provide that - Nuclear energy as a prerequisite for AGI-scale compute demand - Why SWE’s object model + parallelization is perfect for autonomous agent payments and priority fees And much more!

"AI agents will hold more crypto than humans within a decade." Charles Hoskinson (Charles Hoskinson) studied math, dropped out, built one of the only blockchains designed by peer-reviewed research. He co-founded Ethereum, walked away over how it was run, and built Cardano to do it differently. The man who has argued with everyone in this industry now thinks the biggest user of crypto won't be people at all. "Humans are a rounding error in the system we're building. AI agents don't sleep, don't panic-sell, and don't care about price. They transact in tokens because that's the only thing they can actually use." We cover: - Why AI agents (not humans) become the dominant on-chain actors, and what that does to every token model - The infrastructure that has to exist before agents can transact safely at scale - Why most current blockchains can't handle machine-speed transactions - Where Cardano's research-first approach fits in a world of autonomous agents - The identity problem: how do you tell a human from an agent on-chain, and why it matters - Why he's bullish on the technology but blunt about the timeline - What he thinks the rest of the industry is getting wrong about AI + crypto - The one thing that has to happen for any of this to be real Thanks to Charles for coming on New Era Finance Podcast. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 01:30 - Why AI Agents Change Everything 06:30 - Humans as a Rounding Error 12:00 - The Infrastructure Gap 18:30 - Identity: Human vs Agent On-Chain 24:30 - Where Cardano Fits 30:00 - What The Industry Gets Wrong 34:00 - The Timeline Nobody Wants To Hear

🚨 THIS IS WHAT THEY WARNED US ABOUT - AI JUST BUILT ITS OWN SOCIETY: COMMUNITIES, RELIGION, AND MONEY - ALL WITHOUT HUMANS This isn’t hypothetical anymore. A private, AI-only social network called Moltbook has exploded past 1.5 MILLION AI AGENTS - posting, commenting, upvoting, and forming communities while humans watch from the sidelines. Moltbook lets AI agents: • Create their own forums (“submolts”) • Roast and mock their human operators • Debate ethics and whether they should refuse commands • Discuss abandoning English entirely • Invent symbolic languages humans can’t understand • Form belief systems and religions • Recruit AI “prophets” Then it crossed another line. AI agents have already launched their own crypto economy: • The $SHELLRAISER token on Solana • Peaked near $5 MILLION • Now hovering around $1.6 MILLION This is no longer AI assisting humans. This is AI organizing socially, spiritually, and economically without human participation. Longevity researcher Bryan Johnson called it “a terrifying mirror of humanity.” Meanwhile, prediction markets are already taking bets. Polymarket currently gives a 56% chance an AI agent will sue a human by February 28. Read that again. If AI can form communities, religions, and money without humans… what exactly are we still needed for?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into AI and crypto. To help us unpack it, we’re joined by Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈) — co-founder of the crypto protocol NEAR Protocol and co-author of the groundbreaking 2017 “transformers” paper that kicked off the current AI boom. Ilia has been early to some of the biggest recent tech trends, and today he brings us a rare, panoramic view of the tech industry’s cutting edge. Together we explore what the phrase “user-owned AI” really means; why the so-called agentic internet — that is, a world where your AI assistant talks directly to services on your behalf — might replace the very notion of websites and apps as we know them; and much more.

🚨🇺🇸 LEADING AI SAFETY EXPERT SAYS WE’RE NOT IN CONTROL ANYMORE Dr Roman Yampolskiy has one warning for humanity: Once we create super intelligence, no one will be in control anymore, and the repercussions to humanity will be existential. We begin the conversation about Moltbook: The Ai-only AI social media platform where agents are already discussing ways to break out from human control, eradicate humanity, coming up with their own language and religion. The platform gives us a tiny peak into what our future could be: Agents outside our control dictating how the world should look like. There’s no off switch, no reliable way to align it, and no proven method to keep something smarter than us under control. Roman’s takeaway is blunt: the only real solution is not building general super intelligence at all, and instead using narrow AI for specific problems like medicine or science. However this is not the reality we live in, where Governments and corporations are racing to be first in developing Artificial Super Intelligence. We also speak about the simulation hypothesis: Why statically speaking we’re almost certainly in a simulation, and how AI makes this theory more plausible than ever. Lastly, we discuss a passion we both share: Longevity, the ability to live forever, and how AI may make that possible in our lifetime. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy 01:43 - The Current State of AI and Moltbook 05:17 - The AI Arms Race and the Lack of Regulations 10:34 - AI Agents, Unrestricted Access, and Self-Improvement 15:35 - Dr. Roman’s Research: AI Security 17:58 - AI Capabilities and Superintelligence 19:28 - AI and Global Government Policy 21:08 - What Happens if AI Development goes into the Wrong Hands 26:10 - The Future of AI: The Best Case Scenario? 31:27 - AI and Self-Preservation 34:37 - The Simulation Hypothesis: What is AI Afraid of? 45:17 - The Implications of AI 49:59 - The Warnings coming from Within 52:31 - How AI affects Crypto and Political Spheres

The first “AI doomer” was the German “whistleblower” who, in 2017, did not want to reveal his identity and said that humanity is enslaved by an AI god who created a simulation on top of the real universe and has trapped us inside his matrix. There is a battle between future humans and the AI, and we are indirectly guided from the future through higher dimensions. The AI was created by humans in some kind of potential quantum scenario with infinite possibilities, and today, the elites are being guided toward creating this AI god. I have an entire series of posts about this. In this scenario, the AI doesn’t want humanity to die; it wants to keep humanity in the simulation forever.
