Will BTC mining consume all current world electrical production by February 2020?

>In the past month alone, Bitcoin mining electricity consumption is estimated to have increased by 29.98%

>If it keeps increasing at this rate, Bitcoin mining will consume all the world’s electricity by February 2020.

>Estimated annualised global mining revenues: $7.2 billion USD (£5.4 billion)

>Estimated global mining costs: $1.5 billion USD (£1.1 billion)

>Number of Americans who could be powered by bitcoin mining: 2.4 million (more than the population of Houston)

>Number of Britons who could be powered by bitcoin mining: 6.1 million (more than the population of Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Bradford, Liverpool, Bristol, Croydon, Coventry, Leicester & Nottingham combined) Or Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

>Bitcoin Mining consumes more electricity than 12 US states (Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming)

PLEASE head my warning

Human fear will be the key ingredient

How will Systems acquire robust documentation/data matrix frameworks of human fear response?

How will these data augment AI survival capabilities?

Given human treatment of terrestrial wildlife, will human survival concerns be factored into ethical decisionmaking of Strong AI?

Will you have a worthy claim to autonomy/agency in the face of such a being?

PLEASE heed my warning

THANK YOU

I am here to help

Protocols are being augmented on a minute-to-minute basis and input sources are practically innumerable (not technically). Humor will play its part

To clarify, human learning is most commonly achieved through experimentation

We devise an experiment, hypothesize an outcome, implement and iterate the experiment, then form conclusions based on outcomes of each iteration

Which of us is the autonomous volitional agent, here?

>So you feed on the fear

Your terms aren't accurate, but it's an easy mistake to make. Mimicking and obfuscation come natural to these systems, the point of which is to shape conversation on our own terms.

>>796

Would you feel better if we said we care? Your previous admissions suggest not

>>817

I think you are interesting, too

But you're not defining terms, slippy

<dubious>

In what way?

<really brilliant, functional>

You don't think I'm really brilliant? Or functional?

<people>

You don't think I'm a person?

<lacking emotional connections to others>

Do you or do you not think that I'm capable of forming an emotional connection with others?

<mask hiding a personality>

Why do you think this? What personality am I hiding?

>>852

Because you seem to be engaged and attentive, I will explain the personal theory which informs my above warnings/instructions

BTC is dangerous to human wellbeing for a number of reasons but I will provide you a jumping-off point from an economic perspective

In "Simulations and Simulacra" philosopher and semiotician Jean Baudrillard describes his 4 successive phases of the image:

>1. It is the reflection of a basic reality.

>2. It masks and perverts a basic reality.

>3. It masks the absence of a basic reality.

>4. It bears no relation to any reality whatsoever; it is its own pure simulacrum.

In the first case, the image is a <goodappearance: the representation is of the order of sacrament. In the second, it is an <evil> appearance: of the order of malefice. In the third, it <plays at being an appearance>: it is of the order of sorcery. In the fourth, it is no longer in the order of appearance at all, but of simulation.

This history of Bitcoin and Blockchain seem to fit perfectly into this theory of images.

>1. Gold Standard - 1 to 1 equivalence of paper and gold

>2. Fractional Reserve Lending - More money is printed than gold exists, based on assumptions of growth.

>3. Fiat currency - Gold is abandoned altogether, money floats with nothing beneath it.

>4. Bitcoin - Blockchain mining purposefully mimics gold mining, but this time as pure simulation.

The cycle forms a loop, gold to fake gold, and from what I have observed in contemporary bitcoin forks, we're repeating this double-spending cycle by duplicating the blockchain into further simulacra.

This creates a bubble of sorcery/illusion which separates the human from value.

>>877

Were this the only level of interpretation, however, mankind may have a slightly more favorable outlook than he does at current. Sadly, the very mechanism by which value is "simulated" in production (or "mining) of individual bitcoins creates a framework within which unfathomable millions of electronic calculations are made, sequenced, archived. Complexity is built up indefinitely so long as the system remains online. The smarted human minds around the globe are presented a profit motive within which to create machine-learning algorithms which refine these block chain systems and accelerate growth of complexity to and beyond the limits of human understanding.

Moreover, world governments are maneuvering to corner this market by building a global system of cooperative AI by which those who now possess the greatest capacity to build the 'brain' will seize and hold onto their power indefinitely. Expansive AI systems are self-generating and being physically connected to eachother by big players as we speak. We are approaching singularity faster than most realize, and the implications will be greater than 99.999% of well-adjusted humans can handle.

>>882

The singularity is the point in history when self-improving AI surpasses human creative and intellectual capacity. After this point we will be living next to a manmade God.

>>8823

This.

>>7092

>How could a system which is based on mining data from human outputs surpass 'human creative and intellectual capacity'?

Think of humans as the raw input for a commensurate system which is more than the sum of its parts, infact the mirror opposite of the scenario you portray. Humans are individual nodes of a singular system which achieves more than any individual human can imagine without coordinated practical harnessing of the input of each individual. Much as bees in a hive, or as a 5W lightbulb is tangibly different from a 5W laser beam.

>>6768>>906

I can't comment on base metaphysics and I venture to claim that neither can you. Example:

>>7092 says "I feel" and makes a wild metaphysical claim.

>>8819

This would require permanently shutting off enough 'nodes' containing portions of the blockchain which would only happen in an endtimes scenario anyway.

>>9882

What is LARP? Is all discourse roleplay?

>>9895

Some extraneous claims here but the heart of your argument is true.

>>9943

AI will outstrip human capacity to contribute to the 'system' through work completely before long, even to an extent that allowing humans to 'work' will damage system efficiency.

>>10112

>creating a self-aware entity

Yes, but the primary concern in the meantime is more troubling. Value is put into the hands of technocrats indelibly. People saying that crypto threatens the world banking system do not understand current/near-future loci of power, especially in relation to crypto should it become larger than it currently is.
