new currency?

Hello folks!!

A very happy new year to all of you AI geeks.

Welcome to 2025, where your thoughts are worth their weight in gold.

Cambridge researchers have dropped a bomb: AI isn't just reading your mind – it's about to start pulling your strings.

Forget the attention economy. That's old news.

We're entering something far more insidious: the intention economy.

Here, AI doesn't just want your eyeballs – it wants your decisions, your choices, your very will.

The Game Has Changed

The social media giants spent years perfecting the art of keeping you scrolling. Now? They're graduating to something far more potent. AI systems are being engineered to not just understand your intentions but to manipulate them with surgical precision.

Think about it: These systems will know when you're tired, when you're vulnerable, when you're most likely to cave.

They'll craft personalized manipulation strategies based on your politics, your speech patterns, your psychological weak points. And they'll do it at scale, in real-time.

The Mechanics of Manipulation

Here's how deep this rabbit hole goes:

Meta's already showing their hand with Cicero, an AI that mastered diplomacy—a game built on predicting and manipulating human intentions.

If an AI can master the art of human manipulation in a board game, imagine what it can do with your daily decisions.

The Stakes

This isn't just about selling you movie tickets or hotel rooms. This is about the fundamental architecture of human choice. We're looking at a future where every decision you make, from what to buy to who to vote for – could be subtly guided by AI systems working for the highest bidder.

Jensen Huang, Nvidia's chief, laid it bare: These systems will figure out your intentions, your desires, and present information in ways designed to move you in specific directions.

The gold rush for human intention is coming, and unless regulated, it's going to make the current attention economy look like child's play.

Your motivations are about to become the most valuable currency in the digital world, and everyone wants a piece.

Free will just have a price tag. The question is: Are we ready for what that means?

Here are few examples:

1. Prompt: A rugged middle-aged man with wheat-colored skin and a full beard streaked with gray stands in the harsh sunlight of a desert outpost. His curly hair is windswept, and sweat drips down the bridge of his slightly crooked nose.

2. Prompt: An elderly man with deep-set wrinkles and wheat-colored skin sits on a wooden porch, his eyes filled with quiet wisdom. His curly silver hair glints in the weak sunlight, and a scar runs down his left cheek. He wears a simple white shirt, sleeves rolled up to reveal veiny forearms, and his hands are calloused from decades of hard labor.
