TL; DR -  I forgot to publish last week’s edition, so this week is 2x the normal length. In it, I touch on: how the future of social engagement is depth, not breadth; Nearly half of Americans have a side-hustle; Co-founder of Ethereum spells out the five trends that will shape life in the 21st century; why the banking crisis is just beginning; the future of tokenization of assets; Y Combinator’s latest class of startups; in the future our houses will be computers; privacy of thought will be a topic of importance in the near future; US/China fighting a commercial war over internet cables; Brainstorming ChatGPT businesses with a billionaire; Is AI the next great computing platform?; What is science’s claim to “Truth”?; we can now make embryos, how far should we go?; a Chernobyl-level event for AI may be imminent; to supercharge learning, look to play; and a free tool from MIT to teach coding to children.
