There is a tidal wave of AI web traffic coming to every industry, every vertical, every profession. An ocean of meaninglessness. AI is the anti-proof of work.

I used to think Bitcoin and AI was a collision of infinite value with a finite system to measure it sensibly. The real battle of consciousness will be discerning real value and imagined.

Proof of work. The idea that energy consumption and expended effort creates something worth something.

Even on X, more and more people are passing of chat created tweets as their own. It’s probably in most cases not because they are intellectually cheating- but because the battle itself obscures in each of us what “work” actually is.

As it simmers to a boil, we reach the collective realization that “work” is not a spectrum, and neither is value.

There is actual value and that value is worth something entirely different than its counterpart.

There is bitcoin and there are other forms of measuring value which at some point in the near future will mean nothing.

The awakening to proof of work is the solution to the impending crisis of meaning and that will be AIs most significant gift to humanity.

A reconnection to meaning and purpose by showing us all what those things are not.
