In science these days, the term "Law" is almost never used anymore, the term "Theory" replaced it. E.g Theory of special relativity instead of Law of special relativity.
Hi! Colombian here. I reviewed the second prediction and believe the tags are incorrect. They should be: Pico Lagos del Congo, Liborina, Antioquia to Pico Cristóbal Colón, Sierra Nevada, Magdalena.
Additionally, the GPS coordinates might need adjustment, as there are several prominent peaks near both Liborina and Pico Cristóbal Colón (the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains).
Oye, fui a Colombia un par de veces! Y mi profesora Español era Colombiana.
So you're saying a better title for the Colombian line of sight could be "Pico Lagos del Congo to Pico Cristóbal Colón"? We can definitely change that.
Thought I'm not sure what you mean about the coordinates being wrong? Are you saying that you should be able to see further from Pico Lagos del Congo?
Yes! I think that might be a more exact title. This is what I mean:
First point:
- Mountain: Cerro Lago del Congo (The GPS coords refer to the peak)
- Locality: Liborina
- State: Antioquia
Second point:
- Mountain: Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (The GPS coords refer to the peak, called Pico Cristóbal Colón)
- Locality: Santa Marta
- State: Magdalena
Pd. Hope you enjoyed your visit! I think Colombia is beautiful (But hey! I am biased)
I am porting/adapting the Digital Euro (CBDC) specifications for Colombia to complement Bre-B (our instant payment system modeled after Pix). I plan to submit it for review to BanRep (our central bank) once it's finished.
I disagree. For a long time now, the business of banking has been very much related to software. Software companies need a license to fully manage their money.
From an economic standpoint, for these companies to see a return on their investment, won't they need to replace jobs? It will be challenging to recoup investments by charging regular users in a post-DeepSeek era. While I don't support job losses, aren't they the expected outcome?
AIs replacing jobs is not the only way those companies can see a return on investment, it's not necessarily zero sum. If the additional productivity given by AI unlocks additional possibilities of endeavor, jobs might stay, just change.
Say idk, we add additional regulatory requirements for apps, so even though developers with an AI are more powerful (let's just assume this for a moment), they might still need to solve more tasks than before.
Kind of how oil prices influence whether it makes sense to extract it from some specific reservoir: if better technology makes it cheaper to extract oil, those reservoirs will be tapped at lower oil prices too, leading to more oil being extracted in total.
When it comes to the valuations of these AI companies, they certainly have valuations that are very high compared to their earnings. It doesn't necessarily mean though that replacement of jobs is priced in.
But yeah, once AI is capable enough to do all tasks humans do in employment, there will be no need to employ any humans at all for any task whatsoever. At that point, many bets are off how it will hit the economy. Modelling that is quite difficult.
> once AI is capable enough to do all tasks humans do in employment, there will be no need to employ any humans at all for any task whatsoever
AI has no skin, you can't shame it, fire it, jail it. In all critical tasks, where we take risk on life, health, money, investment or resources spent we need that accountability.
Humans, besides being consequence sinks, are also task originators and participate in task iteration by providing feedback and constraints. Those come from the context of information that is personal and cannot be owned by AI providers.
So, even though AI might do the work, humans spark it, maintain/guide it, and in the end receive the good or bad outcomes and pay the cost. There are as many unique contexts as people, contextual embeddedness cannot be owned by others.

Also at this point the current ideas of competition go wonky.
In theory most companies in the same industry should homogenize at a maxima which leads to rapid consolidation. Lots of individual people think they'll be able to compete because they 'also have robots', but this seems unlikely to me except in the case of some boutique products. Those companies with the most data and the cheapest energy costs will win out.
Binance breaks every single financial law in the developing country I live. Many users have lost money in their P2P scheme. Not really a great reference.
I'm an expat in a developing country and Binance p2p is widely used here to change USDT to the local currency and back. Haven't heard of too many issues and have used it a lot.
It is very much illegal though, I'll give you that one.
