ETH Prague 2023

I tried to use as much as possible the exact words said.

Brewster Kahle
Making information available for everybody and digitalising al information
Working together will make us more succesful. Can we make an ecosystem where everybody works together better?
A place where people can go without seeing as crazy. Invite people in.

There are solutions for starters, we dont need middlemans with the right technology.

Paul graham Raven
How can information be used:
Information isnt knowledge and knowledge isnt wisdom always
Whats the value of information. How does it make you feel, how can you use it on a personal level.
Distribution of wealth. Writers dont get paid enough, somebody else can sometimes do it cheaper
Couple of years ago everybody should have a voice. Now the view is f*ck everybody voice.

Information shaping into a story to make it mean something.

[Hindsight as a librerian] What book does somebody really want? Or they know a book they really like; are there more books like that.

Writing and publishing any future?
Where the story telling exist it will stay.
Give everybody the space to do what they good at.
Short answer I dont know.


Vitalik Buterin
Not building empires, building tools
When building something different it is hard to have a support system
Eth is different than other blockchains by multi client roadmap
Pushing power away from the center, hard to do it right. Trying to create an enviroment where everybody can participate and grow.
Ethereum is more succesful than I expected.

Whats the relationship between Individual and society? (Question asked)

Individuals lots of relationship.
What can people independent and what can people do together? Early guns less effective as bows in the beginning. Later guns changed the balance of power.

Ai worries:
Centralising.

Chatgpt on servers in america controlled by 1 company. Worse utopia.
Local and international
How is AI aplied in military?

Control in the hands of a few people with technology that reaches millions

How do make AI into a thing that fits our values better? (Question framed by Vitalik himself)

AI doesnt have to be created in a way to compete with people. AI to fill the pieces in like a program as photoshop where the AI helps to fill some things in.

AI killing 40% of jobs or AI killling 40% of the stuff you do? Last thing is what you want.

Creation of art, videogames very centralised, AI might help with this.

What is the crypto AI intersection? (Question framed by Vitalik)
Community can help, requires more working together instead of just by being about coins.

Starting a war as dictator, people in rage or pacified. You need an elite that go with you.
By killer drones you can just press the button.

Some technologies I really like and some technologies are unpredidictable and we need to monitor or create counterstrategies.


Great developers can handle 10x pay cut in crypto but not much bigger than that. They created really nice technology.

You need a support structure, people need to pay rent. Pay for infrastructure so people can scale and not work from out of a garage.
