In 2016 Geoffrey Hinton said “we should stop training radiologists now" since AI would soon be better at their jobs.

He was right: models have outperformed radiologists on benchmarks for ~a decade.

Yet radiology jobs are at record highs, with an average salary of $520k.

That's sort of my framework to think about meme coins right now -- as collectibles but yea would be curious about pushback to the framing.

EU speeds up plans for digital euro after US stablecoin law Concern over competitiveness raises possibility of digital currency using public rather than private blockchain

If Europe fails to create digital cash with embedded privacy that normal cash has per default because it opts for using ether as a tech stack, it‘ll fail.
