A few weeks ago, a friend of mine decided to donate <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/bitcoin" target="_blank">Bitcoin</a> to a good cause. His Good Samaritanship ended up garnering international television coverage.

I have always been too busy to attend this kind of stuff, but decided to make it happen. I am very happy I did as it was a really cool experience. I showed up on the last day for the presentations and watched each team do their thing. I was thoroughly impressed with the caliber of competition and the fact that people traveled from all over the world to attend.

The young field of AI Safety is still in the process of identifying its challenges and limitations. In this paper, we formally describe one such impossibility result, namely Unpredictability of AI. We prove that it is impossible to precisely and consistently predict what specific actions a smarter-than-human intelligent system will take to achieve its objectives, even if we know terminal goals of the system. In conclusion, impact of Unpredictability on AI Safety is discussed.

Vijay Boyapati’s Bullish Case for Bitcoin

Evaluating crypto networks is challenging. The “<a href="http://www.usv.com/blog/fat-protocols" target="_blank">fat protocol</a>” thesis, for example, represents an attempt to identify the features that will drive the value of crypto protocols. Put forward by Union Square Ventures’ Joel Monegro in 2016, the thesis— which has captured the imagination of many Silicon Valley investors — posits that the value of blockchains will concentrate at the protocol layer. Whereas in the case of the protocols underlying the Internet (such as TCP/IP, HTTP, or SMTP) value has been captured at the application level, the thesis states that the value of blockchains will be distributed along the protocol layer. Monegro argues that whereas the Internet is composed of “thin protocols” and “fat applications,” the inverse relationship holds in blockchains — blockchains will consist of “fat protocols” and “thin applications“ (see Figure 1).

What Makes Crypto Protocols Valuable?
