    HOW AI TAKEOVER MIGHT HAPPEN IN 2 YEARS (52 MINUTE READ) [15]    
      
    This post contains a short story on what an AI researcher thinks   
   could be the worst-case scenario for an AI takeover. It is not a   
   likely scenario, but it is not pure fantasy either - AI progress might   
   not become as fast or untamable as the story portrays, but it could   
   happen in the right circumstances. The future is still not set, but   
   some of the worst outcomes are already plausible.    
      
    DEFINANCIALIZATION / HYPERFINANCIALIZATION (3 MINUTE READ) [14]    
      
    The world has become increasingly financialized as a consequence of   
   bad money. The US dollar serves as a poor monetary instrument because   
   it doesn't effectively preserve purchasing power over long time   
   frames. Instead of saving, people are forced to invest. While Bitcoin   
   simplifies savings and definancializes the world of money and savings,   
   crypto is producing a world of hyper-financialization. New products   
   are constantly emerging that attempt to turn anything and everything   
   into a financial market. The phenomenon will probably continue as fiat   
   unwinds, but after a long enough time, Bitcoin's core value   
   proposition will become more apparent.    
      
    HUMAN-LIKE TEETH SUCCESSFULLY GROWN IN A PIG'S MOUTH (4 MINUTE READ) [8]   
      
    Scientists have been manipulating genes to grow human cells in   
   animals for decades. They have now shown it is possible to cultivate   
   human teeth cells inside of a pig's mouth. The teeth that grew inside   
   the pigs didn't reach full human tooth size and likely wouldn't stand   
   up to regular use, but these findings could lead to the development of   
   biological tooth substitutes. Research shows that more than half of US   
   adults may be receptive to the technology.
