I co-author Chapter 2 with my very
first Doctoral mentee, and the Chief Refractive Thinker, Dr. Cheryl Lentz: Synergy
of Human +Artificial Intelligence: Delphi and the genius of crowds. Congrats
on your successes (& failures) Dr. Cheryl!

Dr Cheryl and I promoted the
concept of “Regenerative Dynamic AI” where we provide prompts for readers to
regenerate key components of our book with the best available GenAI at that
future time. AI is changing at light speed, so readers can expect to have far
better results than we did when they regeneration in a month or a year.
Additionally, we wanted to instruct GenAI engines to provide links to dynamic
sources, like statistical databases and Wikipedia where information is
continually updated. And, of course, how do humans make the best use of
artificial intelligence and real-time research using Delphi. Many results from
the chapter with four GenAI engines has been spun off to DelphiPlan.com (aka
ScenarioPlans.com). Issues of intellectual property, copyright,
teacher-student-plagiarism are all addressed in the Synergy of Human +
Artificial Intelligence.

* I also
have another book out today! *

Rapid Planning with Regenerative
AI. This Regenerative Dynamic AI approach to research and planning became
the generative idea behind two AI-assisted workbooks related to Rapid Planning
in my Perpetual Innovation™ series. One day in May I created most of the zero
(0^th) edition, Perpetual Innovation™: Rapid
Strategic Planning and Regenerative AI. With formatting and
updates, the 1^st edition is now updated in paperback and released in
eBook. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D85GMW7F
($2.99)

With GenAI it is now possible to do
Rapid Strategic Planning in a fraction of the time compared to olde workshop
methods. Instead of 3 or 4 planning sessions, I believe it is now possible to
condense and compress the planning process into 1 rather-intense session. But,
it does require changing the way we work, the way we think, and the way we
plan. The Workshop-Workbook is a follow-on companion to the Rapid Strategic
Planning and Regenerative AI workbook focusing on the strategic planning
workshop for an organization. The main goal for this planning effort is to
complete a SWOT analysis including key potential strategies/initiatives. The
workshop workbook provides examples for several types of local organizations: a
local construction-related business, a charity, a chamber of commerce, a
regional Economic Development Commission, and a local chapter of a service
organization. Expect the Workshop-Workbook to be release in a few days in
paperback and Kindle ebook.

These Regenerative AI books will be
a great addition to the Perpetual Innovation™ line of books starting with
intellectual property and now moving into Nonprofit: Nonprofit Planning &
Impactful Donor giving (2022); and Club Management (2023).

The World is Halving!
The world is halving,
the World is HALVING.
…
Q: Bitcoin is due to “half”. Explain what half means and how that might impact the price of bitcoin before and after? and … Q: Which bitcoin miners will be most impacted by the halving event this week? (See Answer below.)

ChatGPT or MS Copilot or Gemini …. nice answers… (See below)

Summary of answer: Since inception in 2009, bitcoin has been designed to pay-out half the number of coins per block awarded to “miners”. It started at 50 coins per block. About every 4 years (210,000 blocks) the number of coins payout has halved. It is now down to 6.25 coins per block. Some time over the next day or so, the amount payout will halve again to 3.125.

Miners use massive computing power to mine bitcoin, and gigantic amounts of power. Much of the power used is for cooling in order for the server farm to stay cool within operating ranges.
If the price of bitcoin, up to $70,000 last week, doubles, then a miner can still make money… if not, marginal miners will drop off.
Since the computing power might be used for multiple purposes, say gaming or AI, some miners might be diversified.

Copilot (2024, April 18)
Certainly! Let’s delve into the concept of Bitcoin halving and its potential impact on the price of Bitcoin:

What Is Bitcoin Halving?

Bitcoin halving, also known as the halvening, is a programmed event that occurs approximately every four years within the Bitcoin network.

It is a built-in feature of Bitcoin’s code.

During halving, the block reward for miners is reduced by half.

In other words, the number of new Bitcoins created with each mined block decreases.

Why Does Halving Happen?

The primary goal of halving is to control the rate of Bitcoin issuance.

Bitcoin’s total supply is capped at 21 million coins.

By reducing the reward for miners, halving slows down the creation of new Bitcoins.

This scarcity mechanism is crucial for maintaining Bitcoin’s value proposition.

Impact on Bitcoin Price:

Historically, Bitcoin halving events have had a significant impact on the price:

Scarcity Effect: Halving reduces the rate at which new Bitcoins enter the market. As supply decreases, scarcity increases.

Increased Demand: If demand remains steady or rises, the reduced supply can lead to higher prices.

Anticipation: Traders and investors anticipate halving events, which can drive up demand and price before the actual halving occurs.

Previous Halvings:

2012: The first halving reduced the block reward from 50 BTC to 25 BTC.

Result: Bitcoin’s price surged from around $12 to over $1,000 within a year.

2016: The second halving reduced the reward to 12.5 BTC per block.

Result: Bitcoin’s price increased significantly, reaching an all-time high.

2020 and 2024 Halvings:

The most recent halving occurred in 2020, reducing the reward to 6.25 BTC per block.

The upcoming halving is expected in 2024.

Different Context: Unlike previous cycles, Bitcoin has already hit new record highs before the 2024 halving.

Factors include institutional interest, regulatory developments, and broader adoption.

Market Sentiment:

Opinions vary:

Some experts predict a bullish trend due to scarcity and increased institutional participation.

Others believe that the halving effect is already priced in, and external factors play a more significant role.

In summary, Bitcoin halving reduces supply, increases scarcity, and historically correlates with price surges. However, the current market context and external factors may influence the outcome. 🌟🪙📈

You:

Which bitcoin miners will be most impacted by the halving event this week?
Miners’ Revenue Decrease:

The halving will reduce the block subsidy for miners from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

Miners’ immediate impact will be a considerable decrease in revenue due to the reduced reward.

Hashrate and Miner Viability:

Less efficient miners may become unprofitable and exit the network.

The hashrate, a critical security measure for Bitcoin, might adjust along with difficulty levels to align with new economic realities.

ASIC Pricing and Breakeven Points:

Post-halving, the profitability of different ASIC models will be crucial.

Only the most efficient machines will operate profitably if Bitcoin’s price does not see a significant increase.

Next-generation ASICs like the S19 XP and M30S++ might have breakeven power costs ranging from $0.07/kWh to $0.15/kWh.

Custom ASIC Firmware:

Miners are turning to custom ASIC firmware (e.g., LuxOS, BraiinsOS) to improve hardware efficiency.

Custom firmware optimizes power usage and hashrate output, lowering the breakeven point for electricity costs.

Miners at Risk:

Some miners may face higher costs post-halving.

Argo Blockchain (ARBK) and Hut 8 Mining (HUT) are highlighted as the most vulnerable entities, facing estimated post-halving costs per Bitcoin exceeding $60,000¹ ².

In summary, miners’ profitability and viability will depend on their efficiency, ASIC models, and adaptation to the new economic landscape after the halving. 🌟🪙⛏️

Q: How does bitcoin and bitcoin mining fit into the world of blockchain?
Sent by you: How does bitcoin and bitcoin mining fit into the world of blockchain?

Gemini (2024, April 18)

Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining are foundational pieces of the blockchain world. Here’s how they connect:

Blockchain: The Public Ledger

Imagine a giant, public record of transactions. That’s essentially what a blockchain is. It uses cryptography to securely store information in a way that’s transparent and resistant to tampering. Transactions are grouped into blocks, chained together chronologically, creating a tamper-proof record.

Bitcoin: The First Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin was the first widely adopted cryptocurrency, and it runs on a specific blockchain. Each Bitcoin transaction is recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain. This blockchain relies on miners to validate and secure the network.

Bitcoin Mining: Securing the Network

Bitcoin mining is the process of verifying and adding transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain. Miners compete to solve complex math problems. The first miner to solve the problem gets to add the next block of transactions to the chain and receives a reward in Bitcoin.

Here’s how they work together:

Security: Mining creates a secure and decentralized network. Miners constantly verify transactions, making it nearly impossible to tamper with the blockchain.

Decentralization: There’s no central authority controlling Bitcoin. Anyone can participate in mining, which distributes the power across the network.

Scarcity: Mining also controls the creation of new Bitcoins. The halving event, where the mining reward gets cut in half, creates a limited supply of Bitcoins, similar to precious metals.

Impact on Blockchain Technology

Bitcoin’s success has popularized blockchain technology. The core principles of blockchain security and decentralization are now being applied in various fields beyond cryptocurrency, such as supply chain management, voting systems, and secure document sharing.

In essence:

Blockchain provides the secure and transparent infrastructure.

Bitcoin, secured by mining, is the first application running on this infrastructure.

The success of Bitcoin has driven innovation and exploration of blockchain technology across various industries.

Disruptive Innovation: Why AI Will Spark Exponential Economic Growth
The innovation and investment guru
Cathy Wood gave a TED talk in December 2023 about 5 pivotal innovation platforms
that will (continue) to change the world as we know it. Her group expects to
see exponential sustained growth that is fueled by the productivity gains in
these areas, especially where they converge. The 5 platforms (AI, Robotics,
Energy Storage, DNA sequencing, and blockchain) are described below, with AI in
the center. One example she uses is the rapid move to self-driving taxis. TED talk with Cathy Wood, Why AI Will Spark Exponential
Economic Growth. (2023, Dec. 18).

The productivity gains are so huge and
so sustained that it will dramatically change the global economy with sustained
GDP growth of 6% to 8%. Productivity gains can be distributed (at the macro
level) in three ways: higher wages, higher profits, and deflation. She expects
all 3. Note disinflation, is the slowing rate of inflation while deflation
is negative growth in prices. This means that more goods and more services can
be produced more cheaply. Usually we think of lowering prices – deflation –
coming as a result of a good recession, i.e., destructive innovation.

This new AI economy will create a
whole new type of disruptive innovation. Disruption to the workforce will be
massive: taxi drivers, truck drivers, coders, factory workers, designers. The
US that has been stuck at full employment (less than 4% unemployed) will
suddenly get some relief. The people who develop the new skills will have very
high-paying jobs, others will be left out.

Wood argues that the Federal Reserve,
that has been so worried about inflation for so long, is way behind the curve, because
productivity and sustained economic growth are already here. The Fed’s new job,
soon, will be managing the drop in interest rates and deflation.

The old nautical adage: a rising tide
raises all boats. A rapidly growing world economy will raise most boats: some
boats a lot, some a lot faster than others.

You: Summarize the 5
technologies that Cathy Wood believes will converge to produce exponential
economic growth.

Copilot (2024, April 4)

Investor Cathie
Wood envisions a unique moment in technology marked by the
simultaneous evolution of five pivotal innovation platforms. These
platforms are converging, creating unprecedented opportunities for growth and
transformation. Here are the five technologies she highlights:
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI):
2. Robotics:
3. Energy Storage:
4. DNA Sequencing (Multiomic Sequencing):
5. Blockchain Technology:
Wood emphasizes the need for businesses and investors
to adapt to this convergence to stay ahead in the changing landscape. These
technologies hold immense potential for exponential economic growth! 🚀🌐💡

What is Pi Day, and what are the useful uses of Pi?

ChatGPT 4.0 (3/14/2024)

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14 in the month/day
format) because the date represents the first three digits of π (pi), which is
approximately 3.14. Pi is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of
a circle’s circumference to its diameter. This ratio is constant for all
circles of any size, making pi a fundamental aspect of many mathematical,
engineering, and scientific calculations. Here are some of the useful uses of pi:

1. **Circumference and Area Calculations**: Pi is used to
calculate the circumference (C = 2πr) and the area (A = πr^2) of a circle,
where r is the radius of the circle. These formulas are foundational in
geometry and are widely used in various fields such as construction,
manufacturing, and design.

2. **Engineering**: In engineering, pi is used in the
analysis and design of mechanical systems involving wheels, gears, and pulleys.
It is also essential in the calculation of the volume and surface area of
cylinders, spheres, and cones.

3. **Physics and Cosmology**: Pi plays a role in the laws of
motion and gravitation. It is used in calculations involving the orbits of
planets, the propagation of waves, and the distribution of electric and
magnetic fields.

4. **Statistics and Probability**: The Gaussian
distribution, which is a fundamental function in probability theory and
statistics, contains pi in its equation. Pi is also used in various statistical
formulas to calculate probabilities and to analyze data patterns.

5. **Signal Processing**: Pi is essential in the analysis of
signals and in the development of digital signal processing algorithms. It is
used in the Fourier transform, which is a mathematical technique for
transforming signals between time and frequency domains.

6. **Navigation and Geodesy**: Pi is used in calculations
involving the geometry of the Earth and in the precise determination of
geographical positions using longitude and latitude.

7. **Art and Architecture**: The golden ratio, which is
closely related to pi, has been used in art and architecture to create
aesthetically pleasing compositions and designs. Pi’s properties are also used
in the creation of curves and in the design of structures requiring geometric
precision.

Pi’s ubiquity in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics underscores its fundamental importance. Pi Day not only celebrates
this mathematical constant but also promotes interest and education in STEM
fields.
