When Bitcoin Meets AI by Aleksander Svetski
"A seemingly unstoppable force meets with an immovable object. I know, I know. Your Twitter feed has probably been drowning in threads and tips from AI bros who've discovered 99 ways for you to save 99 hours every week using chat GPT or some other list of 99 AI apps. I'm sick of it too. Trust me, especially considering most of these AI experts were Web 3 experts last year, NFT experts the year before, and DeFi or crypto experts before that. Trend hopping at its finest. That's not to say there's no value here to be found. Somewhere beneath or behind the almost deafening noise coming from these influencers, there is a possible paradigm shift and a genuine set of use cases. We've seen some already, of course. You can chat with these models to reason out a problem. You can summarize thoughts and ideas, find correlations between ideas, search for some information better than you could with Google, and of course, build more linguistically functional chat bots. Perhaps the best use case thus far is the Dev Assistant tool, but I get the sense that we've not yet seen the Uber moment. There is also, somewhere beneath and behind all the scary talk of AGI and the idiocy being proposed by bureaucrats and would -be regulators, a more human -centric, human -enhancing use for these tools. The idea of a language user interface as the next step from the thumb tapping we've been used to over the past decade is fascinating, and what we should be thinking about is how to make these tools new, quote, bicycles for the mind, as Steve Jobs said about computers. It's very important we push back against doomer narratives that lean the world toward approved AI, quote, unquote, in order to avoid such tools becoming yet another appendage of the state.

Hedonic Adaptation: Why Happiness Doesn't Last
"So this phenomenon of happiness peaking and then quickly going back to the previous level, well there's a name behind it. It's called hedonic adaptation. To walk me through it I'll teach a course called Applying the Science of Happiness to Life. Her best -selling book, Happier Hour, walks through her seminal research on happiness and she's here today to talk me through hedonic adaptation. Here she is explaining it. So hedonic adaptation is our psychological propensity to get used to things over time. So when you do the same thing again and again, you do the same thing over a long period of time or you're with the same person over a long period of time, that thing or that person starts to have less of an intense effect on you. That is, we get used to things over time. We are adapting. As Cassie says, hedonic adaptation affects all walks of life, including love. In her book she shared a study which analyses the happiness of hundreds of individuals over a lifetime. This allowed the researchers to see what happens to happiness before and after someone gets married. The data revealed a mountain -shaped pattern that peaked on one's wedding day. The data showed an incline in happiness in the two years leading to the big day and afterwards a steady decline in happiness right back down to the baseline level of happiness. Within two years individuals went from this peak level of happiness back down to a baseline, the baseline that they had in the two years before their wedding day.

"Get K to Jefferson back in Arkansas. At South Carolina, the last time Florida was up there. They lost about 30 points. So is it tough schedule? I think Florida, if you look at it, realistically, 6 and 6 to be an outcome. I think 8 wins might be a ceiling and you can get to 8 wins somehow. That's an incredible season, but I think Florida fans should be realistic with 2023 being a 6 to 8 win season. And if it ends up at 6, can Florida fans be patient. Can they hang on because they have been dealt a bad blow in recent years and you know that. You cover the team. Yeah, I mean, at what point do you need to just stop hitting the reset button every two, three years. And then you find yourself back in the exact same spot. And I get what the fans frustration is. I was in college when Florida was winning two championships in three years. So I understand what the expectation is, what fans want. I just think that if you keep hitting this reset button, you become, you know, what Tennessee was for so long before got there and you just keep restarting. So a lot of the fans will also be looking at the recruiting class. Florida obviously with the whole Jaguar shadow thing, the class took a big hit late. If it goes 6 and 6, it has a number two or a top three recruiting class. I think fans will say, okay, that's what the missing piece was at Dan mullin. We weren't getting the players. We're going to work closing the gap on Georgia. And that's the biggest thing. Paul, you can have the 7th best recruiting class in the country and be fourth best in your own division or in the SEC.

"Harder to involve everybody. For the next interview, I'm here tag teaming with our own culture editor chiara de mello, who's also here at utopian hours in Turin. And she has quite a fascinating interview coming up next. Who are we going to hear from? Well, we've grabbed Marina cariaco who is from urban guerrillas. She works in Nicosia in Cyprus. And she wears many hats really. She's an architect, urban planner, but she's also the cycle mayor for the city. She has a sustainability focus, also has a rather interesting project of spanning the whole of Europe, but born in Cyprus about making use of our rooftops. So we had plenty to talk about with her. Well, don't give it all away at once. Let's have a listen. Marina, thank you so much for giving us the time. Your presentation here at the university are touched on so many different themes. And we would like to unpack some of them. You come from Nicosia in Cyprus. And you've observed the life insurance in the last few days. I would like to jump through the cycling side of your persona. But how sometimes we just expect that if we draw a line on the ground and we call that a cycling path, then suddenly it's turned into a suckling path. What conditions need to exist to make public space genuinely accessible to cyclists cycling path that is an actual cycling path that not just a drawn up one? And how can we build and make our cities more cycling compatible, given the actual cycling mass, you'll have plenty to say about this? I do cycle in a very car dominated city, but it's also a small city. We do not have Trump. So for me, what was complex here in Turin was to deal with the fact that there was a strong way and there was also a stamp of a bicycle on that. So I could use it, but I wasn't sure. That was a bit frustrating for me to understand how all these different modes of transport coexist. But in terms of the conditions, I think depending on the city and the different elements that compose the road network, it can be different solutions that can create the right conditions for cycling. Because in the road, you are in a system. So you interact with other users. And if those other users are not cyclists like you, there are different dynamics. So definitely the car has a very big role in making new feeling safe. So the way that we can control a little bit the car traffic can definitely have a huge impact in increasing the sense of safety for cyclists. Then there's definitely the signage and how you visually communicate the fact that this is the way for you as a cyclist. And in general, how to handle the boundaries between pedestrians because here in Serena, so bicycle lengths that are to be shared with pedestrians. So that creates for me also some dynamics that are not safe for pedestrians. There are so many things that we can't say, but I think the solutions already exist, there are already good solutions that we can replicate for some leading cities that are cycling cities. And we can definitely start by reducing the impact of cars in the whole world network. And when you actually achieve that, then even people can adopt and slowly slowly be more ready and more confident in the way that we use it. So you actually make the first step by reducing the car traffic and then people will also start navigating the city in a correct way. And cycling has something very important. You use a lot of eye contact. So you communicate with people in order to see. So when you're in your car, you don't really see the other people's face. So I think this human scale of cycling should be the starting point for designing for cycling. And the same for pedestrians, of course. We've talked about your role as bicycle mayor of Nicosia in Cyprus, but you wear lots of hats. I would just like to zoom in to one specific project that you mentioned during the presentation, which I thought was very, very interesting from the point of view of how it can reveal a whole new perspective and layer to our cities, which is a rooftop project. Can you talk to us about how that network came to life? What is it? How it works and how it can expand beyond Nicosia and through Europe. So two years ago, we met different organizations and initiatives or groups of people who are working locally to reinvent their rooftop or the roofscape. So Azerbaijan became in contact with organizations in Portugal and in water them first. And we discussed we learned what everyone is doing to promote the alternative use of rooftop in their city. And we decided to meet in Portugal where we invited other groups who are actively doing our festivals or projects to create more multifunctional rooftops. Then from that little first network, we created the proposal for the creative Europe program of the European Commission and we got a very good funding for four years. To really do research and projects and small pilots, festivals, and installations on rooftops, every partner of this network is doing and implementing this project locally. But then we interact a lot and we learn from each other. And we start first as the European creative rooftop network with these 9 cities participating in the project, but of course our aim is to be international because there are so many other initiatives on rooftops that we want to follow and we want to learn from. So what we are trying to do is to create a movement. What kind of things happen on these rooftops? How can people access? Obviously, rooftops. I'm not such easy places to get to because they always have this sense of privacy about them. If you don't own a building, if you don't live in the building, you can't get up top. And what happens there? How can people get to it? What is important is to understand that there are different types of rooftops when a rooftop is on a private building is of course more difficult to access and maybe more for the community that lives in the building or if it's an office building for the workers. But when it's a public building, then it can actually be more accessible to people and maybe on the roof there is a garden or maybe it's a playground or maybe performances are organized there, all kinds of events can happen there. And there are also all the sustainability projects that can happen. So maybe sometimes that objective is not to make the rooftop accessible, but to use the rooftop in order to fulfill other goals. So depending on the city and the urban fabric and the building environment, accessibility can be a huge over smaller problem. But what is important to engage with the right stakeholder to start giving access to more and more rooftops, not to invade that.

The electronic frontier foundation has an amazing new service. That is called. Cover your tracks and essentially what you do. Is you fire up the website with whatever browser you happen to us and it gives you information about how much the internet can learn at companies can learn by you just using your browser and what's really great about. It is on the one hand. It's you know you can improve privacy protections if you want that but it's also a really interesting way to learn about at technology more general because they will tell you all from fingerprinting here is what we see. Here is what we know. And then here is how many hundreds or thousands of people are exactly like you so one of the big surprises that like seven things. That are a little unusual about your browser. And all of a sudden during a super small group of people probably everyone else is in iceland or finland or one of those famous television shows but literally we can no so my to. It's i see this rarely that someone manages to do something that is very utilitarian on the one hand todd also deeply educational on the other which i really loved. I did a really great job. That is great. That one's good that one's that is deeply paranoid if you wake up in the middle of a warm summer ninety. Who else knows okay. Rebecca do you have a final recommendation. I have a book and it's an incredibly cheerful making book. Okay it's called wilding by isabella tree. And it's the story of a couple that inherited a few thousand acres in southern england and tried to form it and the farming was disastrous. And so instead they decided to take it back to nature and in twenty years they now have rest species that people have not seen anywhere else. They have trees growing in ways that have never been seen before they have soil health. They have water retention. They have you know pretty much paradise and the exciting thing is that can be done. That's going to happen to jeremy clarkson's farm soon. There's an episode on clarkson's farm about. Yeah but yeah but much much. More wilder sound cold and it is so cheerful making and it's well written and it's fun and it's got a story and the idea that we could heal the planet and it's not that hard is just so good to read. I love that. that's nice. great one though. It sounds like we're moving from the paranoid to the more uplifting to hear what's your final we'll finally is. I have two books okay. Two of my favorite economists who most people haven't heard of they have new biographies of them. So the first is albert hirschman new biography out which is really great which is.

I can't you trying to say coach john but it's starting here. I mean you gotta support makes the show.

It's one of these things where as you're watching it you're on the one hand enjoying it but another part of your brain is just marley at how good it is how good she is mary's town and one of the things about it. Young me that. I thought was so fascinating. I don't know if you thought this is it's a mystery and it's about a detective but there's like this weird family comedy in the background right so there are these like genuine laughs that you get out of this show young me. So it's like a weird combination of mystery serial murderer kind of thing and then you have comedy is what else spent. I'm totally going to watch this tonight. With a cracker full of coaching and mayonnaise. Glass of lambrusco. Okay feel expect to you. So my recommendation is june spag and these are little small mesh bags that you can put produce in or fruit that you buy and the reason. I was so interested in this because we're doing something very strange right now. We're trying to use less plastic and that's a really great idea.

But i like june's bags for a number of reasons. The first one is the backs themselves are made out of recycled bottles which is interesting. The company is carbon neutral down to each individual product is carbon-neutral which i haven't really seen that many products. So you can click on the product. And then they give you all the details of how they offset the carbon that they release sometimes it's investments in renewable energy sometimes it's reforestation and you feel much better about yourself on top of everything. That sounds great. I'm looking at the website right now. Totally and i didn't even know this was to feel bad about this really great it. Strike you a slightly weird plastic bag at the end. There's like thousands of plastics. This is a good one the everyday tote. Okay that's the one. I really love everyday tote amazing. That's awesome yeah. I love it okay.

"Stuff. That is going to happen that we don't yet know about. I just came back from vacation like an actual vacation. Way you hike and you talk to people and and it was amazing. It was so great. And so i think we're going to see a lot of doubling down on analogue connections analog experiences so yes they'll be things pad away but i think we'll also going to see a bunch of yet more new stuff come out that would be my prediction rally. I'm just curious about mma. Here's principles of what might flourish in what might not. Because i see well convergence and divergence here what's really interesting is like to rebecca's point like there's so much appetite for person to person and there's also so much appetite to felix's point about organizing one's life so that it's not as much person to person as before and so. I just wonder whether there's some way to think about what flourishes and what doesn't based on like who we are and what we've been missing and what we learned that we wanted to differently. And so i see some of this as we know that people are going to want more analog and person and we also know that people are going to want to keep some of the digital and. I'm just puzzling through it. It's a super fascinating question. Right what do you think young me. What's your prediction i think. The highs the euphoric highs new highs we discovered during the pandemic are here to stay and we are going to try to keep chasing those highs even as we embrace the highs we lost so when we go to a restaurant or you go for a hike or you hug people i mean those are the highs we lost in our chasing after them again but you know chasing after i mean stock or the speculation you see in the financial markets. That was kind of euphoria that was unlocked during the pandemic. And i think that kind of euphoria we will still continue to chase. So i would almost look at the valence of the thing strong. The valence was at that particular activity. And i think the really's high valence activities are the ones that we are going to continue to seek out. And i sort of see that now that everything's opened up and you go out and you see people embracing their old way of doing things with an even more intense fervor than before but i also think there's a lot of stuff that was unlocked go by just instinct is that it's i think a lot of people are over extrapolating..

"Com. And one reason why this is. Super interesting is renowned. Don't know do we go to a closed system. Where amazon has a lot of first party. Data google has a lot of first party data. Facebook has a lot of first party. Data and verse sensually not sharing across these domains and so we might end up with have radically different advertising system. That might not work for anyone. Because you're perfectly identified if you're on facebook and if you're an amazon and if you're google and at the same time advertisers get much lower conversion rates because we can knock lean any information that's out at the ecosystem so so many interesting things to look at the summer feelings. I think we are at such an important inflection. Point in how we think about data and how we think about privacy if you think about the first wave internet companies the companies that are today some of the largest companies in the world. There's a period of time where they were collecting data and they hadn't figured out how to monetize it yet and then they did in part of that monetization involved the sharing of that data with other parties. And so you've got this huge monetization opportunity. And they got very big and they got very well capitalized as a result. In now that there's sort of a backlash and everybody's worried about privacy. They're all becoming much more guarded about the data which they can now frame as being in order to protect our privacy but another way to think about it is. They are big enough now that this first party data gives him such an advantage in many ways the consolidation of power and so it's the classic example of a double edged sword. So on the one hand you want more privacy gray we're not going to share your data anymore on the other hand. We of course have first party to and you see amazon going down this route. Uc apple going down this route. You see google going down this route in. Its this fascinating thing where.

I think that i will pay attention to the first one is does it even work. Google claims that you get about ninety five percent of the conversion rates that you get with cookies but we have zero visibility into the tests that they run. But i think that's a really interesting thing to look at. The second question is if it works and it is the future of the advertising system. Does it really quiet.

Probably tells you more than you would want to give away and a lasting that i'm going to look at. Is the competitive response.

How should we support small business. How can we support local entrepreneurs and there are some really interesting examples of this.

I find really interesting about that is our headlines are always dominated by national news stories and i know that you have done a bunch of work over the past couple of years with mayors around the country and mayors who really believe that the engine driving the country forward actually happens at the city level and so even though their local their proliferating and if you look at them as a collective these are all very exciting initiatives and we would do we know about what works and what doesn't work in that setting. So what's interesting here is that every city has something like this and sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't the thing that worries me. Is that every mayor in this country.

But i want the industry to bend and change. And maybe she's right. Yeah well that's what's so funny about celebrities right which is wounds since we've obviously exalt them. And then we imagine their life is somehow spectacular or different than ours but of course they have those same makings and desires that we do and they can find themselves in a position where they want to rewrite the rules and in fact it is really wonderful when they make that effort and that is how social change happens in a way relegates writ large level when celebrities. Rewrite rules i was thinking a little bit weird example but it occurred to me which is i was. Muhammad ali mohammed. Ali is one of my most favorite athletes in the world. Ever and the cost. He suffered because of his decisions at the peak of his powers to do things in a different way and live his life by his rules. I just think it's just enormously powerful when people do that and the amount of social change it can trigger is incredible and in this case. I just feel it's not exactly parallel to that. But you know to see people who are willing to stand up to very very powerful forces. It's really really inspiring will let me throw one other element of the conversation into our dialogue. Here which is the way the tennis world reacted to the withdrawal of roger. Federer the right rate tennis champion. Which i think necessarily implicates both racial question. And the gender question so roger federer who's had some surgeries clearly use the tournament as a kind of warm up for the wimbledon tournament later on and played a few matches. I think three and then withdrew after winning the third match saying listening to my body. My knees hurt. The tournament organizers reacted to his withdrawal in a very different way yeah and so the same tournament organizer who had criticised naomi asakusa withdrawal. Because like you got to play and you got to do this. Said and i quote. I have too much respect for roger to question his decision. And i thought wow but not enough. Respect not to question. Naomi asakusa decision. And so because you're federer's knees hurt. He withdraws its more or less. Okay and they only asakusa. Soul and brain kind of hurts she withdraws and the world descends on and did not the same story. But isn't there something kind of gross about that. I think that's right and really gross. In a way there's obviously race gender implicated there. There's also just the way we think about physical health and mental health. That's implicated in there. I think both players should be able to do exactly what they want to do. Away like federer's opportunistic in some sense. Right it's a little bit more of an opportunistic thing that happened there. Which is he needed. The play and then he didn't need it anymore. That's not what happened but it just seems to. I think speak to so many divides i think in particular on mental and physical health and physical health is paramount for an athlete. Yeah but let's not kid ourselves. Mental health is just as important certainly for athletes..

"Okay pegues. I am going to go first because i want to recommend an app. The app is called peak. Mike this is your ad. Yes you created an f. So i wanted to recommend this app called peak. It's spelled p. i q. u. e. it's a self-improvement app. I don't know a lot of people who can say. Hey that's my app but you created an app. Don't you teach mba students literally every single one of them says hey that this is my first sure but having said that you need to talk about this app mike so peak. The idea of the app came from. This is a something we've developed with beck weeks. Who was a harvard and the student and central mullen often economist at the university of chicago. The initial idea was just that people are not very curious about the world and it's not their fault. It's because we're not good at designing things that prompt curiosity. We're good at designing things that you can listen to or watch passively that are super interesting like for example podcast and things like that and they're great because they do spark thoughts and you know learning and us especially this one especially not this episode of this podcast. Good general is unbelievable. Just skip to the next. And that's all we wanted to do was just design things to make people curious again about things and idea honestly came from with little kids. You have been apparent or hung out with little kids. They find a stick and four hours later. They're still just fascinated with all the things you can do with a single stick so they have this amazing ability to get so deeply curious about things and test them and play with them and try different things and we never do that. Grownups we just never ever have that mindset. So that was the goal is to design things for people that you can do quickly but that a little bit get you back in that mindset of curiosity. It's super cool. Does it make people more curious from reports. I think it does for example super simple one is you are having lunch with your spouse or partner. Let's say and what we ask you. Is we pop up. bubbles with emotion words in them like angry board. Happy all sorts of emotions. And all we do. Is we say guests how your partner is feeling right now and they do it for you and then you also just press how you are feeling okay so you can compare. Just turn your phone right away. It's like really. I didn't know you were feeling whatever so things like that. We're trying to get you to sink a little bit like. I wonder how the person is actually field. My right wrong about the kind of things we just want to kind of. Yeah yeah so. The app is called peak. Everybody check it out. That's my recommendation felix. But you bring when. I speak with friends about their plans are posted. Democ ghozi sports his way up on the list. Everybody's dying to be back in the stadium and see some live sports events and in that context i came across a really interesting episode of this podcast. Called the uncertain. Our the episode is called inside baseball and he talks about baseball careers. How'd it actually happens. How particular antitrust exemptions for baseball then have profound implications. How sport is organized. Who makes money with this careers. Look lying it was. It was a real eye opener. How i didn't that particular episode but i think you mentioned that podcast in general before so i listened to a few there really interesting. They have a knack for thinking off jobs and professions. You know they exist. You know someone does that work but you have no idea what it's like. Can you have no idea what the experiences with our work. So when i listen to went deep into the office cleaning industry. Oh my god. That was the one you recommend. Great great recommendation. There was a study a few years ago where they asked people to list all the jobs. Just like that's the only one percent of all the jobs are we aware of just have no idea what the job at all the job is it. More like a vocation ritual for me. It's guy did you bring a recommendation. I did my friend and colleague katie milkman. Has a book that's called how to change And it is amazing so among the cool things that katy studies. I'll just say one of them. She came up with this idea of temptation. Bundling and the way that it works is like if you wanna go exercise at the gym you leave your ipad there with the trashy shows that you really wanna watch and then you can only watch the trashing shows when you're at the gym. Yes this idea that you bundle attempt with the thing you're supposed to do and with a research showed that actually can help you follow through. But she just is such a genius on understanding humans and then designing in ways that actually impact us emotionally and can get us to change our behavior so pre pandemic. Whenever i knew ahead a long haul flight coming up i would reserve something. I really really wanted to watch for that long haul flight and it made it better. It made it to the point where. I almost look forward to having alcohol flight where i could really dig into this show that i hadn't been able to see or something so okay so the book is called how to change how to change. Okay so mike. Thank you so much for coming on the show. This was fine right. Di- did think both of you had fun. Yeah it was fun. Thank you all right so thanks everyone for listening.

"Is your nephew really. Got you just fisher for some samples felix. Fishing for samples probably is delicious. I'm just not convinced that you get to call it a smart. I'm going to post the pictures and the recipe dynamite. The game. Gene so okay. I have a recommendation. That's far more authentic. So my recommendation is. I started growing my own herbs lou. Excellent recently got a gift in it. Was a herb kit. A kit to grow herbs in your kitchen. And here's what's great about it. First of all you don't have to have a big garden. You can do it inside in young. And then secondly i've always found that when you keep things like basil or cilantro or parsley in your fridge. It's not elegant. It spoils very quickly. It doesn't say fresh doesn't look. I mean there's no elegant way to do it and this way you always have fresh herbs. It's kind of amazing and it looks. A payoff is huge in flavor. Totally and very cost effective. Yes exactly and it looks very nice. Doesn't take much room and of course when you're cooking you just feel so yes you feel like a pro. You feel like a pro. You are a pro young recipe calls for basil and you just snap a little bit. It is authentic. It's like decided you're going to have smarts and you get the campfire going took so she's not letting it go. Your word mike scott okay felix. What do you ha- i flee into what's hopefully neutral territory might pick the music of a musician shabba hutchings. He's a saxophone player out of london and his music is sort of one of these examples. Just of how much modern jazz has opened up. To other influences the music is eminently danceable. It's fun has so many of the correct ristic's of exciting jams and then it's at one at the same time really almost unbelievable deeply deeply socially engaged often centered on to conserve racist. Experience that you have as a black person in london. He sometimes invites poets onto his recordings. And even though you would think that's a very somber context but then there's the groove and one of the interesting things that he talks about is before they record a song. He has the drums and debates the rhythm section. He has them going for five minutes ten minutes twenty minutes before anyone plays and you can somehow here. The chemistry that builds up is sort of like feel kuti style. Where i you're really getting loved roof and you can just feel that. And then having these really contemporary like talking about real issues that we face today is just an absolutely amazing. Wow and felix. If you don't know a lot about jazz. Is it accessible. This is what. I find so amazing about many. These newer jazz artists that sort of bring in rap bringing other cultural references jazz and reggae jazz. And basically anything you can. It really builds spray. Just you know you don't have to have gone to kindergarten with john. Coltrane in order to enjoy it did really opens up by using in a really promising way. And i love this combination of making really just fun exhilarating music and not letting go of the social engagement at one at the same rate This sounds fantastic fantastic. Maybe the song called hustle is a great. I i got it right here. I got hutchings a k. This fantastic very good at k. Good picks guys we have to end. It's late here. close out. Well let's make sure. Thank peter. lean are sound engineer. Who is the martial arts. Moore's cookies and you're listening to after hours on h. B. our podcast seven..
