Crypto Unchained - The Intersectionality of Cryptocurrency, Artificial Intelligence & Kleptocracy
In November of 2017, I posted an article entitled… Singularity Unchained – Artificial Intelligence and Crypto-Currency. This post can be found on the Tek-Gnostics Archives site… here. An expanded version of that original article was included as a chapter on machine learning in my latest book… “Brave Noö World - A Guerilla Ethnography of High Strangeness.”
In that original post, I examined the ramifications of a decentralized computer network, specifically in its use as a networked public ledger for transactions of cryptocurrencies. I then looked at the intriguing development of blockchain technology being combined with and applied to Artificial Intelligence… not only in an automated transactional capacity but in an evolving, autonomous, sentient capacity... set free within and upon the world wide web.
I theorized then, that AI had progressed far beyond what is being reported... that AI had evolved wildly, virally… possibly beyond the control (or comprehension) of its developers. Since the original publication date, and taken in the context of an impending technological singularity, ie: machine sentience… serious questions arise as to how different, competing, autonomous AI is currently impacting humanity.
